5 Operating the Digital Inverter
This section explains how to operate the Digital Inverter most efficiently.
Operating Conditions and Guidelines
This section describes normal operation as well as conditions that trigger an alarm or automatically shut down the Digital Inverter.
Normal Operation When you connect the inverter to the vehicle’s lighter socket or directly to a 12 V battery and turn on the unit, the digital display will show input voltage, the input voltage LED illuminates and AC power is available at the outlets. You can now plug in your AC products and turn them on one at a time.
Low Battery Alarm and Shutdown As the battery discharges, its voltage decreases. When the Digital Inverter senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 11.0 V, it sounds an alarm, giving you time to shut down sensitive loads such as computers. If you ignore the alarm, and the DC input voltage drops below 10.5 V, the inverter shuts down all loads to save the battery from further discharge. The
