ADDITIONAL FEATURES
2.Low Battery Voltage Alarm/Shutdown Protection
a)When the input voltage from the 12 volt power source drops below 10.5 volts, an audible tone will be heard. This is the low battery voltage alarm.
b)The inverter will automatically shut down when the input voltage drops below 9.5 volts. This protects the battery from completely draining.
In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible alarm, turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (O) position until the source of the related problem has been identified and resolved.
Wall Mounting:
Whistler inverters have provisions for wall mounting; slotted holes allow for easy wall mounting of the unit.
Some Powerful Advice.
Your Whistler inverter will work best when placed on a rea- sonably flat surface. The floor or seat of your car or truck both are good locations.
When driving with the inverter in operation, make certain that neither the inverter nor the power cords will impede safe operation of your vehicle. Keep the unit and all cords clear of the steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and gear shift.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain your inverter in proper working condition, note the following important safety precautions:
•MOISTURE. Keep the inverter dry. Do not expose it to moisture. Do not operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device being operated or any other sur- faces that may come in contact with any power sources are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity which may lead to serious injury or death.
•HEAT. For peak efficiency, the ambient air tempera- ture should be between 50° and 80° F. Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight.
•VENTILATION. In order to disperse the heat generat- ed while the inverter is in operation, keep it well venti- lated. While in use, maintain several inches of clear- ance around the top and sides of the inverter.
•FUMES & GASES. Avoid using the inverter near flammable materials. Do not place the inverter in areas such as battery compartments, where fumes or gases may accumulate.
In Review.
•Never attempt to operate your Whistler inverter from any power source other than a 12 volt battery or series of batteries that total 12 volts.
