High Voltage Protection, Remote On/Off Switch

High Voltage Protection:

If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself, the meter will flash (OUP) to indicate Over Voltage Protection, and an alarm will sound. To restore normal operation, return the DC input voltage to less than 15V. The inverter will automatically return to normal operation.

CAUTION: Although the inverter has protection against over-voltage, it may still be damaged if the input voltage were to exceed 16 volts.

Over Temperature Protection:

If the internal inverter temperature rises above the alarm threshold, the meter will flash (OCP) an alarm will sound to indicate over temperature protection, and the unit will continue to operate. If the internal temperature rises to 104ºF, the inverter will shut down to protect itself, the meter will continue to flash, and the alarm will continue to sound.

NOTE: Internal inverter temperature can rise due to being operated in a high heat environment or due to the fan or vents being blocked during operation (even in relatively cool outside air). To restore normal operation, turn the unit off and allow it to cool. The inverter will automatically return to normal operation after it has cooled.

Remote On/Off Switch:

An optional Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack allowing you to turn the power inverter on or off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed in an out of reach location.

USB Outlet; The USB outlet will supply 5 volts at 500ma to charge and power cell phones, iPods® and other small electronics.

Operating Limits

Power Output:

The inverter can deliver 1500 watts for about 60 minutes. The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can resume operation at 1500 watts.

NOTE: The wattage rating applies to resistive loads. The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating. Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps, and other motor-operated equipment require very high surge currents to start. The inverter may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw is within the inverter’s limits. Operating time will vary depending upon the type, capacity charge level of the battery, and the power draw of the AC products you are using. With a normal vehicle battery and a 100 watt load (such as a small television) you can
