MAINTENANCE

Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating properly.

DESCRIPTION

500W Peak Power — allow you to power appliances that require a large amount of initial (peak) power to work (such as many TVs and motor-power equipments).

Low Battery Alarm — the inverter sounds an audible alarm then turns itself off if the source battery becomes too low.

Auto Shutdown/Reset Protection — the inverter temporarily shuts itself down to protect itself from overheating.

Overload/Short Circuit Protection — the inverter automatically turns itself off if the connected load is too high or if it shorts.

Fuse — the inverter comes with fuse/s already installed and easily changed if it is damaged.

Dual AC Outlets — allows you to power up to two appliances at the same time.

HEAT DISPERSAL

The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is not a malfunction. However, if the inverter gets too hot while working, it will turn off by itself.

Position the inverter where air flows freely around it to allow the heat to disperse.

The inverter’s thermal protection prevents it from operating when its temperature exceeds 130 ± 10 θF / 55

± 5 θC
