OPERATION

appliance or equipment being operated will not signif- icantly decrease the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be no more than 50 feet long.

•Check frequently to ensure that the input and out put connections are secure. Loose connections may damage the inverter, the power source, or may generate excessive heat.

•The following precautions apply to the 2000 series models only.

a). The AC receptacles are equipped with 15 amp cir- cuit breakers. Consequently, each of these outlets is rated for a maximum output of 1500 watts (110 volts x 15 amps).

To generate the maximum output, the 2000 series models should be connected to a power supply which has the capacity to produce up to 275 amps. The loads should be distributed between the two receptacles to ensure that each outlet is producing no more than its maximum 1500 watt output.

If more than one piece of equipment or appliance is to be operated at the same time, first turn on the inverter and then turn on each piece of equipment or appliance separately to enable the inverter to produce the required start up loads.

OPERATION

b). The 2000 series models are designed for direct wiring to an electrical distribution panel via the direct wire connection "cut out" on the front panel of the inverter.

This direct wire connection must be performed only by a licensed electrician. Failure to make this connection properly may result in severe injury.

Important Information on Battery Chargers

Using your inverter to recharge units designed to charge such portable equipment as power tools, flashlights, video cameras and laptop computers may cause damage to the inverter or the charging unit. Check with the appliance manufacturer for compatibility with sine wave inverters if you’re unsure.

Although we advise against it, if you attempt to recharge a charging unit, monitor the temperature of the charging unit for approximately 10 minutes. If the charging unit

becomes unusually warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.

The Power Source.

When the engine is off, most batteries will provide ample power supply to the inverter for one to two hours. The actual length of time is a function of several variables including the age and condition of the battery, the number of batteries and the power demand being placed on it by the equipment being operated with the inverter.

2000, 1000 specifications

Whistler 1000 and Whistler 2000 are advanced radar detectors designed for high-performance performance in detecting police radar and laser systems. These models are praised for their sophisticated technology, offering drivers the confidence needed to avoid speeding tickets and enhance road safety.

The Whistler 1000 features a dual antenna system, which allows for increased sensitivity and range in detecting radar signals. This model is engineered to provide 360-degree detection, ensuring that no radar signal goes unnoticed, regardless of the direction from which it approaches. Advanced digital signal processing enhances the ability to filter out false alerts, focusing only on relevant signals, and creating a much quieter detection experience for the user.

One of the standout characteristics of the Whistler 1000 is its ability to detect multiple radar bands, including X, K, Ka, and even Laser signals. This wide range of detection is essential as it makes the device versatile enough to handle various law enforcement radar technologies. Additionally, the device features a built-in voice alert system, which gives users real-time notifications about radar detections without the need to take their eyes off the road.

Similarly, the Whistler 2000 builds on this foundation, offering even more advanced features. It includes GPS functionality for added precision in location-based alerts. This allows the device to remember locations of false alerts and minimize inconvenience in frequently traveled areas. Complete with an OLED display, the Whistler 2000 provides clear visual indicators alongside audible alerts.

Both models are equipped with City/Highway modes, allowing drivers to adjust the sensitivity of the detection based on urban or highway driving conditions. This adaptability is particularly valuable in reducing the number of false alarms commonly experienced in city driving.

Moreover, both the Whistler 1000 and 2000 are designed for ease of installation, featuring a windshield mount for secure and unobtrusive attachment. Their compact designs ensure that they blend seamlessly with a vehicle’s interior.

In summary, the Whistler 1000 and Whistler 2000 radar detectors are distinguished by their extensive detection capabilities, intelligent filtering technologies, and thoughtful user features. Together, they represent the cutting edge of radar detection technology, providing users with powerful tools for safer driving.
