Before Using PI-140 Power Inverter

It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The PI-140 must be used with devices drawing 140 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be made by multiply- ing the AC input current (Amps) by the AC voltage (110V).

Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start (commonly known as the “starting or peak power”). The PI-140 can supply a momentary surge in watt- age; however even devices rated less than the maximum 140 watts can exceed the inverters surge capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown.

Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Push the PI-140 firmly into the 12V accessory outlet. The

LED indicator light should glow GREEN verifying the inverter is receiving power. (If connecting in a vehicle, remove the cigarette lighter from its outlet.)

2.Make sure that the device to be operated is turned OFF.

3.Plug the device into the PI-140 AC outlet.

4.Turn the device on. If the LED Indicator briefly blinks
