CAUTION

Certain rechargers for small nickel cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the CPI 150. Two types of equipment are particularly prone to this problem:

1.Small battery operated appliances that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle for recharging, including flashlights, razors, and night lights.

2.Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools, specifically those that have a WARNING label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Problems do not occur with the vast majority of battery operated tools, most of which use a separate charger or transformer that plugs into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage output. If the label on your tool’s AC adapter or charger states that is produces a low voltage AC or DC output (less than 30 volts) you

can safely power the charger with your CPI 150.

In order to check the performance of your

CPI 150 before installing it, please have the following on hand:

1.A 12 volt DC power source (such as a vehicle battery)

2.A test load such as a lamp or other small appliance that can be plugged into the AC receptacle on the inverter.

Power Source

You will need an 11 to

15 volt DC power source capable of supplying enough current to run the test load. As a rough guide, divide the wattage of the test load by 10 to get the current (in amperes) that the power source must supply. A fully charged standard automotive battery will work fine.

Connecting to the

Power Source

Your CPI 150 comes with a

20 inch cigarette lighter plug wire for connection to the power source.

WARNING

Do not connect to the power source if flammable fumes are present. Explosion or fire may result. Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making a connection.
