HINTS

Adding Extension Cord

If you need extension cord, we recommend the use of an extension cord between the AC output of inverter and AC appliances. You may use up to 100 ft. of high quality extension cord. A long cord will result in reduced output power.

Buzz in audio system

Some stereo systems and “boom boxes” will emit a buzzing noise from their loudspeakers when operated from the power inverter because the power supply in the device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the power inverter. The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality power supply.

Operating a TV

Picture tubes have a degaussing coil that uses a high initial surge of power to light up the screen from a “cold start”. If the TV does not start up on the first try, switch ON the TV every 2 - 3 seconds until the screen comes on. Sometimes, it may take 2-5 tries before starting.

Television interference

Operating of the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some channels. If this situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the problem.

1.Make sure that the chassis ground lug on the back of the power inverter is solidly connected to the ground system of your vehicles.

2.Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching television.

3.Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate (“snow free”) signal and that you are using good quality cable between the antenna and the television.

4.Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.

5.Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as possible and twist them together with about 2 to 3 twists per foot. This minimizes radiated interference from the cables.

MAINTENANCE

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

DESCRIPTION

3500W 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 can be changed if it is damaged.

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