Connecting for Loads Under 150 W
Follow these steps to connect the 200 W unit or 400 W unit:
1.Place the inverter on a flat surface such as the floor of your vehicle.
2.Make sure that the unit is off by verifying the digital display is off.
3.Take the power cord equipped with the lighter plug (Figure 6) and place the ring terminals over the two cabling terminals on the back of the inverter. (The cabling terminals are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.)
CAUTION: Reverse polarity
Power connections of the 12 V DC battery to the Digital Inverter must be positive to positive and negative to negative.
A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) will blow a fuse in the inverter and may permanently damage the unit. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
Make sure you connect red to red and black to black, and make sure you screw the nuts on tightly.
4.Fasten the positive (red) clamp to the positive battery post, and then fasten the negative (black) clamp to the negative battery post.
