Power Force 50™ Output Waveform

The AC output waveform of the Power Force 50™ is known as a “quasi-sine wave” or a “modified sine wave”. It is a stepped waveform that is designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors.

The modified sine wave produced by the Power Force 50™ inverter is designed to have an RMS (root mean square) voltage of 110 volts, which is the same as standard household power. Most AC voltmeters (both digital and analog) are sensitive to the average value of the waveform rather than the RMS value. They are calibrated for RMS voltage under the assumption that the waveform measured will be a pure sine wave. These meters will not read the RMS voltage of a modified sine wave correctly. They will read about 20 to 30 volts low when measuring the output of the Power Force 50™. For accurate measurement of the output voltage of this unit, use a true RMS reading voltmeter such as a Fluke 87, Fluke 8080A, Beckman 4410, or Triplett 4200.

POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS

The Pocket Generator™ battery must provide between 10.5 and 14.5 volts DC and must be able to supply the necessary current to operate the load. To obtain a rough estimate of the current (in amperes) the power source must deliver, simply divide the power consumption of the load (in watts) by 10.

Example: If a load is rated at 50 watts, the power source must be able to deliver:

50 ÷ 10 = 5 amperes

Connection To Load

Connect the Pocket Generator™ to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket using the cigarette lighter plug provided. The Power Force 50™ is equipped with a standard AC household-type receptacle. Plug the cord from the equipment to be operated into the AC receptacle. The green LED indicator will illuminate to indicate that the unit is functioning. Make sure the load requirements of your equipment are within the parameters of the Power Force 50™ output. If so, turn on the equipment.

To Use The Pocket Generator™ To Boost Vehicle’s Low Battery System

WARNING: Be sure that the ON/OFF switch on the inverter is in the OFF position, before using unit as Battery Booster. Failure to do so may cause damage to the inverter, and will void manufacturer’s warranty. NOTE: The Pocket Generator™ will not fully charge a completely dead battery, but it can be used to boost a vehicle’s weak battery system, or to provide auxiliary power for the onboard electrical systems and selected memory settings for electronics (A/C, seats, radio, etc.). Using the adapter cord with two cigarette lighter-type plugs, insert one end of the cord into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle, and the other end into the corresponding receptacle on the Pocket Generator™. When power assist is completed, disconnect the adapter cord’s plugs from the vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle and the Pocket Generator™.

To Use The Pocket Generator™ As A Memory Saver For Onboard Systems And Pre-Sets

WARNING: Be sure that the ON/OFF switch on the inverter is in the OFF position, before using unit as Memory Saver. Failure to do so may cause damage to the inverter, and will void manufacturer’s warranty. When the vehicle’s battery system is to be disconnected for repair or maintenance, the Pocket Generator™ will provide auxiliary power to maintain the selected memory settings and other onboard electrical systems, until power is restored. BEFORE the vehicle’s battery system is disconnected: using the adapter cord with two cigarette lighter-type plugs, insert one end of the cord into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle, and the other end into the corresponding receptacle on the Pocket Generator™. Onboard power will be maintained. AFTER the vehicle’s battery system is reconnected, disconnect the adapter cord’s plugs from the vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle and the Pocket Generator™.
