4.USE AS A 12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY

WARNING: NEVER INSERT A CIGARETTE LIGHTER IN ELECTROMATE’S ACCESSORY SOCKET.

1.Lift up the cover of one of the 12 Volt DC Accessory Sockets.

2.Insert the 12 VOLT DC plug from the appliance into the Accessory Socket.

3.Switch on the appliance, as usual.

4.Periodically press the Battery Status Pushbutton to check battery level.

5.When the Charge Status goes to one LED (EMPTY), recharge the battery.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE ELECTROMATE TO OPERATE DC APPLIANCES THAT DRAW MORE THAN A TOTAL OF 30 AMPS. A self resetting breaker protects the outlets from overload and short circuits.

The DC accessory sockets can provide power even when the battery has little charge. To avoid running the battery completely flat, periodically check the status display. Operate the inverter without an AC load while using the DC accessory sockets to automatically be alerted to a low battery condition. The inverter’s audible alarm will sound when the battery reaches 10.5 volts. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.

5.POWER INVERTER

The Power Inverter is located above the Battery Compartment. The Power Inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) from the battery to GFCI dual outlets, 110 Volt 60 Hz AC (alternating current) household power. It’s DC source is the installed 12 Volt battery. Safety features include an audible low battery alarm and automatic shutdown to prevent dam- age to your ElectroMate internal battery. (See Figure 5.)

5.1Inverter Operation

NOTE: On the outlet end of the inverter are: the GFCI AC receptacles, the On/Off Switch, a green LED and a red LED. The green LED, when lit, indicates power is applied to the inverter and it is operating properly. The red LED, when lit, indicates that something caused the inverter to shut down. The green LED will not be lit under shutdown conditions. Inverter shutdown is caused by: under or over-voltage, overheat or overload. If the inverter shuts down, first check the ElectroMate’s internal battery (use Battery Level Push-button and Display) to see if the battery is discharged, recharge the battery as soon as possible. If another condition caused the shutdown, investigate the appliance for excessive wattage or a short circuit in extension cord or appliance. If the inverter feels very warm let it cool before restarting it. Restart is accomplished by turning the Inverter Switch Off, then On. The inverter is equipped with GFCI outlets. These give protection from electric shocks caused by ground faults. The GFCI assembly has a TEST and a RESET button. When the inverter is operating, pressing the TEST button
