Feature Identification

1 Universal AC Outlet: This outlet allows you to connect equipment via more than 20 international AC plug types, including plugs common throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America.

2Illuminated ON/OFF Switch: When you set the switch to the ON position, the Inverter provides AC power by converting DC power from the connected battery. Set the switch to the OFF position to shut down the Inverter and conserve the battery's charge when you are not using connected equipment. Also set the switch to the OFF position to reset the Inverter if it has shut down due to low battery or overload. See the Operation section for more information.

3Cooling Fan: This fan regulates the internal temperature of the Inverter and prolongs service life.

4DC Power Terminals: These positive and negative terminals connect to the battery via user-supplied cabling. See the Battery Connection section for instructions.

5Main Ground Screw: Connect to earth ground or to a vehicle or boat grounding system in order to properly ground the Inverter. See the Battery Connection section for instructions.

Low Battery Alarm (not shown): An internal circuit automatically detects low battery voltage and shuts down the Inverter to preserve your vehicle's battery. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position if the alarm sounds. See the Operation section for more information.

Overload Alarm (not shown): An internal circuit automatically detects overload conditions and shuts down the Inverter as a protective measure. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position if the alarm sounds. See the Operation section for more information.
