Attention!
The power inverter is equipped with a residual current protection switch, which by residual cur- rents >3mA at the safety contacts of the 220
-240 V socket, switches the power inverter off. If this should happen immediately remove the device connected to the power inverter and under no circumstances should you connect this device to any other power supply! The device is defective and must be examined and if necessary repaired by a specialist before it can be put back into service!
Device operation information
GENERAL NOTES
Usually on the device's rating plate you can find information regarding the power consumption in amperes (A) or the wattage (W).
Before operation make sure that the maximum power consumption does not exceed 1,3 A and the maxi- mum continuous load is not more than 300 W.
•Loads with a high internal resistance operate very well with the power inverter, on the other hand, loads with a low internal resistance, for example heating and cooking devices have a power consumption in watts that is too high.
•Inductive loads, for example, televisions or stereo systems (devices with an inductor or a transformer) often require a much greater switch on current than resistance loads with the same specified wattage. When switching on, television sets demand much more power than that indicated on the rating plate. Therefore it may be necessary to switch the power inverter on and off several times in order to switch the television set on.
•Most heat producing devices, for example, hair dryers, clothes irons or heating fans can not be operated via the power inverter because the power consumption of these devices exceeds the output power of the power inverter.
Low battery signal
•When the battery runs low (under 11 V) a conti- nuous signal tone sounds to indicate that the bat- tery needs to be charged. The operation LED/Overload indicator continues to light up green.
•When the battery voltage drops below 10 V the power inverter switches off and the operation LED/Overload indicator lights up red.
Changing the cable fuse
Risk of potentially fatal electrical shock:
Disconnect the power inverter from the power source before changing the fuse. Also remove any devices connected to the power inverter.
The red cable with the connection terminal is equipped with a fuse. When too great a load is connected to the power inverter the fuse will blow.
Replace the fuse with one of the same value and type as specified in the technical data and with the same shut off characteristics.
Before switching on the power inverter again ascertain and remedy the cause of the fuse blowing.
