Make sure the power consumption of the appliance
or equipment you want to operate is compatible with
the capacity of the inverter, i.e. does not exceed 400
watts.
If you are using the power inverter to operate battery
charger, monitor the temperature of the battery
charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger
becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the
inverter immediately.
Use only 25-amp spade type fuses.
If you are powering the inverter with an automobile or
marine battery, start the engine every 30 to 45
minutes and let it run for about 10 minutes to
recharge the battery.
If you hear a continuous alarm or automatic shut
down, turn the inverter OFF immediately. Do not
restart the inverter until the source of the problem
has been identified and corrected.
Disconnect the inverter when not in use, in order to
avoid battery drain.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage
Reason/Solution
1. Poor contact at terminals.
Unhook and re-hook the 12-volt connections.
2. Using incorrect type of voltmeter to test output
voltage. Use a true RMS reading meter.
