Safety - Tripp-Lite PowerVerter PV 1000HF Manual De Instrucciones

Low Battery Protection
Your PowerVerter's Low Battery Alarm alerts you to low voltage in your vehicle's battery, giving you
adequate time to shut down your connected equipment and the inverter before restarting your
vehicle's engine to recharge your battery. If you're not present when the alarm sounds, PowerVerter
will automatically shut itself down. Note: always turn connected equipment OFF before restarting
your engine. Caution: if your PowerVerter is supporting a light load (200 watts or less), your battery's
energy may drop below the level needed to restart your vehicle before your PowerVerter shuts down.
When your PowerVerter is supporting a light load, be ready to shut it off when its alarm sounds.

SAFETY

•
Tripp Lite does not recommend the use of any of its Power Inverters in any life support
application where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite Power Inverter could cause
failure or significantly alter the performance of the life support device. Contact Tripp
Lite for further information on this subject.
Do not operate your inverter near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
Proper cooling is essential when operating your PowerVerter. Provide adequate ventilation and
refrain from placing items on or around the PowerVerter during operation. Refrain from placing your
PowerVerter near your vehicle's heating vent or in direct sunlight. Keep the case dry at all times.
Disconnect the PowerVerter when not in use.
The PowerVerter case will get hot (130° - 140° F) after long periods of continuous use. Do not place
the PowerVerter near surfaces or materials that will be affected by this level of heat. Use care when
handling the case after extended use.
Turn OFF connected equipment before starting your engine. DO NOT plug a surge suppressor, line
conditioner or UPS system into the AC receptacles of the PowerVerter. If you attach extension cords
to the output of your PowerVerter, use grounded, 14-gauge, 3-wire cords, less than 100 feet long.
Check the warning labels on battery chargers or adapters before connecting them to your PowerVerter.
DO NOT connect battery chargers or adapters with dangerous-voltage warnings. Most battery
chargers and adapters, however, are safe for connection, as long as their labels state that their AC-
to-DC output voltage is low (30 volts or lower).
