The advanced surge capacity of the PSI-2000 power inverter gives it the means to start most electrical devices including: color televisions, TV/VCR/DVD combina- tions, small microwaves, refrigeration electric coolers, small air conditioners.

Warning: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

A.

Before Using PSI-2000

It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The PSI-2000 must be used with devices drawing 2000 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be made by multiplying the AC input current (Amps) by the AC voltage (110V).

Devices like TVs, fans or electric mo- tors require additional power to start (commonly known as the “starting or peak power”). The PSI-2000 can supply a momentary surge in wattage; however even devices rated less than the maximum 2000 watts can exceed the inverters surge capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown.

Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter.

Attention: Always run a test to estab- lish whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of equipment or device.

In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment within the 2000-watt range.

If a device will not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, turn the inverter rocker switch ON (I), OFF (O), and ON (I) again in quick succes- sion. If this procedure is not successful, it is likely that the PSI-2000 inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the device in question.

Important: Make sure you connect your inverter to a 12-volt power supply only. Connecting to another voltage including any AC power source, will result in damage.

Do not try extending or otherwise changing the 12-volt power cord of your inverter.

Install in negative ground applica- tions only.

Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury. Electrical current on a 110-volt circuit can be very dangerous.
