Getting Started
BEFORE YOU START: See Safety information in the Safety, Warranty and Support section. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and could also result in personal injury. Sealed Lead Acid batteries have many hazards like high current, gases and acids. Please exercise caution. To avoid excess battery drain, turn the inverter OFF / disconnect after use.
WARNING: Reverse input will blow the internal fuse and permanently disable the unit.
Product Specifications
Operation and use
The inverter converts 12 VDC to 115 VAC with a modified sine wave. The modified sine wave output is suitable for most devices, but may not work with some devices that require a pure sine wave.
Make sure that the total power consumption of the connected devices is less than the rating of the inverter. Although the inverter can provide high surge power up to two times the rated output power, some appliances may still trigger the inverter’s protection system.
Safety Information
This section contains important safety information. Before using the inverter, READ ALL instructions and cautionary markings on or provided with the inverter, and all appropriate sections of this guide. The inverter contains no user-serviceable parts.
WARNING: FIRE AND/OR CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD
