DC to AC Power Inverter

User’s Guide

1 Placement Guidelines

For optimum operation, the inverte should be placed on a flat Surface such as the floor or a car, THE LOCATION SHOULDBE:

• Dry, Do not expose to water drip or spray
• Cool. operate only in ambient temperatures between 32°F (0°) and 104°F (40°) Keep away from heating vents
• Well ventilated. Allow at lease 2 inches(5com)clearance above and on all sides of the inverter for proper cooling

2 Uing the INVERTER

The Dc to Ac power inverter 150B/180B/300B/500B/1000B/is capable of continuously powering most 220-volt Ac products than use 120w/145w/240w/400w/800w or less. its AC output wave form., called” modifide- sine wave”. is de signed to function similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power. Most AC products rated for 120w/145w/240w/400w/800w or less will operate normally with the 150B/180B/300B/500B/800B.

The power or “wattage” rating of AC products is ther average power they use. When many AC products are first switched on they initiaily consume more power than their power ratifng TVs. Monitors, and electric motors are examples of products than have high “surge” requirements at start up. Although the 150B/180B/300B/500B/800B/1000B can supply momentary surge power as high as 300w/360w/600w/1000w/2000w, occasionally some products rated less than 120w/145w/240w/400w/800w/may exceed its surge capabilities and trigger its safety overload shutdown feature.

Indicators Controls and Connectors

• An AC outlet is provided on one end of inverter,A220-voti AC products with a continuous power consumption of 120w/145w/240w/400w/800w or less. may be pougged in vehicle cigarette lighter sockets and 12-voit power outlets.
• The ON/OFF switch enables output Ac power is present at the Ac outlet and the inverter is operating normally.
• the green POWER light indicates AC power is present at ther Ac outlet and the inverter is operating normally.
• The red FAULT light indicates inverter shutdown caused by low or high battery voltage. Overload or excessive temperature,

Inverter operation

• Plug the inverter DC plug into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter or 12-volt outlet.

• Turn the inverter ON/OFF Switch ON, The green POWER light indicates AC power is available at the Ac outlet.

• Plug the AC product yau wish to operate into the AC Outlet and switch in on. As the batterty charge is used up, battery voltage begins to fall, when the inverter senses the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 10.7 volts, and audio warning is provided. When input voltage drops to 10.0 volts. the inverter will autornatically shutdown to prevent battery battery damage. the red FAULT light illumiantes.
  If the inverter exceeds a safe Operating temperature, due to insufficient ventilation or a high temperature enviroment.it w red FAULT light will turn on and the audio warning will sound.

• Should a defective battery charging system cause the battery voltage to rise to dangerously high lagvels, the inverter automatically shuts down. The red FAULT light will turn on.

CAUTION ! Although the inverter incorporates protection against over- voltage. it may still be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 colts.

• In the event of an overload,low battery or overheating, the inverter will automatically shut down, (see section4)

Interfernce with Electronics Equipment

Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would with household AC power. Below is information concerning two possible exceptions Buzzing Sound in Audia Systems. Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom bosses” have invedequate internal power supply filtering and “buzz” slightly when powered by the inverter. Genervally. the only solution is an audia systems with a higher quality filter.

Television Interference.

The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However with weak TV signals interference may be visible in the form fo lines scrolling across the screen, the following should minimize or eliminater the problem.

• Use an extension cord to increase the distance between the inverter and the TV antenna and cables.
• Adjust the or antation of the inverter, television. antenna and cables
• Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna and use shielded antenna cable where possible.
• Try a different TV different madels of televisons very considerably in their susceptibllity to inter ference.

Battery Operating Time

When using the Inverter. operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the particular AC load. With a typocal vehicle battery and a 50-watt load(such as a portable stereo/CDplayer).an operating time of 5-6hours or more can be expected.
When using a vehicle battery as a power source. it is strongly recommended to start the evhicle every hour or two to recharge the batter before its capacity drop that occurs during starting may trigger the inverter s low voltage shutdown feature
Because the inverter draws less than 0.15 amps with the ON/OFF
Switch in the ON position and with no AC products connected it has minimai

3. WARNING & CAUSION

Incorrect installation or misuse of the inverter may result in danger to the user or hazardous conditions. we urge you to pay special alttention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. CAUTION statements indentify conditions or practices that may resultin damage to the inverter or to other equipment. WARNING statements identify conditions than may result in personal injury or loss of life

WARNING! Shock hazard keep away from children

• The inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet, treat it with the same respect that you would any AC Outlet.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the inverter’s AC outlet or vent openyings.
• Do not expose the inverter to water,rain. snow or spray.
• Do not.under any circumstances.connect the inverter to power utility AC distribution wiring.
• Failure to follow the above instructions may result in personal injury or damage to the inverter

WARNING! Heated surface

• The inverters housing may become uncomfortably warm. Reaching 140º F(60º C)under extended high power operation.
• Ensure at least 2 inches(5 cm)of air space is maintained on all sides of the inverter. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.

CAUTION!

• Do not connect any AC product to the inverter, whose neutral conductor is connected to ground!
• Do not expose the inverter to temperatures in excess of 104°F(40ºC)

CAUTION! Do not use the inverter with the following equipment:

• Small battery operated products such as rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night-lights that are pougged directly into an AC recentagle to recharge
• Certain battery charges for battery packs used in hand powered tools. These chargers will have warning labels stating that dangerous voltages are present at the charger’s battery terminals.

4. Trojbleshooting

■ Problem: AC product will not operate cno invetrer lights are on

Possible cause:
Poor contact with lighter socket or 12-volt outlet
Lighter socket or 1 2-volt
Outlet may require ignition to be switched on

Cigarettef lighter or 12-volt outlet fuse is blown
Inverter has been connected
With reveres Dc input polarity

suggested Remedy
plug or socket if necessary
Turn key to accessory position
Press plug firmly into socket,clean

Check vehicle fuses and replace blown fuse with correct value
Probable inverter damage has occurred.
Have unit repaired

■ Problem:Measured inverter output is too low.

Possible cause:

Standard-averagelesding-AC voltmeter used to measure output voltage. rseulting in an apparent reading 5 to 15 volts too low. Battery voltage is too low.

suggested Remedy
Inverter’s”modified sine wave outputrequires”true RMS.’ voltmeter.far accur are measurement Recharge battery

■ Problem:Bateery run time is less than expected.

Possible cause:
AC product power consumption is higher than rated Battery is old or defective. Battery is not being properly charged
suggested Remedy
Use a largter battery to make up for increased power requirement

Replace battery
Have vehicle electrical systems chaecked by a qulified technician
