Belkin F5C412uk300W, F5C412uk140W AC Anywhere Instructions and Information, Important Information

AC Anywhere – Instructions and Information:

Belkin Components manufactures a line of DC to AC Inverters with 140 and 300-Watt capacities. These Inverters offer advanced technology, dependable operation and will provide years of reliable service when used in accordance with our operating instructions.

Belkin’s Inverters convert low voltage, direct (DC) current to 240 volts alternating (AC) household current. Depending on the model and its rated capacity, Belkin Inverters draw power either from standard 12-volt automobile and marine batteries, or from portable, high-power 12-volt sources.

The Belkin inverter can not be used with 24 volts (trucks) battery power.

Important Information:

This manual will provide you with directions for the safe and efficient operation of your Belkin 140-Watt, or 300-Watt Inverter. Read the manual carefully before using your new Belkin Inverter and keep the manual on file for future reference.

Note:

•Your Belkin Inverter is designed to operate from a 12-volt power source only. Never attempt to connect your Inverter to any other power source including any AC power sources.

•240 volts of current can be lethal. Improper use of your Belkin Inverter may result in property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Getting Off to a Good Start:

In order to ensure that the capacity of your Belkin Inverter is sufficient to meet the required start up load, you must first determine the power consumption of the equipment or appliance you plan to operate.

Power consumption is rated either in wattage or in amperes. Information regarding the required “watts” or “amps” is generally printed on most appliances or equipment. If the power consumption is rated in amps, multiply the number of amps by 240 volts(AC voltage) to determine the comparable wattage rating. As a general rule, you can determine the required start-up load by multiplying the wattage rating by 20.

Don’t Push It:

Although your Belkin Inverter has the capacity to provide power output equal to approximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a very brief period, it is designed to operate equipment with start-up load wattage ratings no higher than its own maximum continuous wattage rating.
