Precautions For Using Rechargeable Appliances

Precautions For Using Rechargeable Appliances

Most battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage output. If the label on the AC adapter or charger states that the adapter or charger produces a low voltage AC or DC output (less than 30 volts), the PROwatt can power this charger or adapter safely.

Some rechargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the PROwatt 600 Inverter. Do not use the following with the PROwatt 600 Inverter:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge

•Chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals

AC Wiring Warning

Do not connect the PROwatt 600 Inverter to AC distribution wiring.

The PROwatt is designed to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment. Do not connect it to household or recreational vehicle AC distribution wiring. Do not connect it to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source. Doing so will destroy the unit.
