Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate charger that can be connected
to the AC outlet. Certain other rechargeable devices are manufactured with built-in chargers (see
device's manual). In this case, these particular devices may cause internal damage to the inverter
and should not be used. The temperature of the device has to be monitored for the fi rst 15 minutes
of operation. If the temperature of the device becomes abnormally hot, it is an indication that it
should not be used with this inverter.
Here is a list of a few other appliances that may be damaged if they are connected to this inverter:
•
Electronics that modulate radio frequency signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
•
Variable speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances and other loads may be
damaged.
•
Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.
Note:
If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device.
Operating an AC Device
1.
Before connecting a device to the inverter, be sure the power inverter ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
2.
Also make sure that the device is turned off and that the continuous current draw of the device will not
exceed a maximum of 200 watts.
3.
Remove the AC outlet cap, then connect the device's electrical plug into the inverter's AC outlet.
4.
Turn the power inverter ON/OFF switch to the ON position. If the green light stays on, the system is
working properly.
If the green light switches to a red color, immediately turn off the device and then turn off
the inverter. Refer to the troubleshooting guide in this manual (see page 8). It is possible that the
inverter may have been overloaded or the input voltage may be too low.
DC Power Socket Operation
This Portable Power System is equipped with two 12-volt DC power sockets. It can operate 12-volt DC
automobile, RV, marine or other portable appliances that draw less than a total of 10 amps from a 12-volt DC
power socket or from a vehicle's cigarette lighter/accessory socket.
Operating a DC Device
1.
Remove the protective cover from the DC power
2.
Plug the 12-volt DC appliance into the power
3.
Press the 12V DC Power & USB/OFF/Air Infl ator switch to the left (12V DC Power & USB ON) position,
then turn the appliance on (if required). If the appliance draws more than 10 amps (or has a short-circuit
defect), the internal circuit breaker of the Portable Power System shuts off the power to the appliance. If
this occurs, unplug the appliance. The internal circuit breaker automatically resets after a few seconds.
4.
Fully recharge the Portable Power System as soon as possible after each use. As the DC power
is internally wired directly to the Portable Power System's battery, extended operation of a 12-volt DC
appliance may result in excessive battery discharge.
Note:
At full charge, the Portable Power System should power a black and white TV or spotlight for 4 hours,
a mini cooler for 3 hours, or a portable vacuum cleaner or coffee maker for up to 1 hour. Application
times are estimates only. If two DC appliances are being used from this Portable Power System, the
power is being shared between both appliances and will deplete the charge of the unit that much
faster.
USB Power Outlet Operation
The USB power outlet does not support data communication. The outlet has a maximum
of 5 volts/500mA DC power to an external USB-powered device.
1.
Plug the USB-powered device into the USB power outlet.
2.
Press the 12V DC Power & USB/OFF/Air Infl ator switch to the left (12V DC Power & USB ON) position.
3.
Switch the device on.
4.
When shutting down, turn the power of the device off fi rst, then press the 12V DC Power & USB/OFF/Air
Infl ator switch to the middle (OFF) position.
5.
Unplug the USB-powered device from the USB power outlet.
Worklight Operation
•
Simply turn the worklight ON/OFF switch (on the front panel) to the ON position.
•
The LED worklight will operate.
•
Turn off when not in use.
