Operating AC Appliances

Trouble Appliances

CAUTION

The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal. Some equipment may be damaged by the inverter’s modified sine wave output (non- sinusoidal).

Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter:

•Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.

•Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances, and other loads may be damaged.

•Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged. See “Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances” on page vi for details.

•Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.

Note: If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device.

Operating Several Appliances at Once

You can run several AC appliances if the total rating of all the appliances (in watts) does not exceed 480 W. You can run appliances using an AC power bar.

Run time, however, will decrease accordingly with the number of appliances being operated and the total AC power being consumed.
