ATD, an innovator in portable inverter design, has developed a new line of super-eĸcient power inverters with the
highest surgecapability in the industry. These extremelyadvanced, microprocessor controlled units run cooler and
more reliable than any in their class. Their superior surge capability, depending on their capacity, allows them to
start even the most diĸcult loads,including televisions, microwaves, refrigeraƟon units, even small air ĐŽŶĚŝƟŽŶĞƌƐ
They also have the highest eĸciency available (up to 90%) which translates into longer running Ɵme and extended
baƩery life.
Inverters convert low voltage, direct current (DC) to 110-VoltalternaƟng current (AC). Depending on the model
and its rated capacity, the inverters draw power either from standard 12-Volt automobile and marine baƩeries or
from portable high power 12-Voltsources.

Geƫng Started
When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes, it requires an iniƟal surge of power
to start up. This surge of power is referred to as the "starƟng load" or "peak load". Once started, the tool or
appliance requires less power to conƟnue to operate. This is referred to as "conƟnuous load" in terms of power
requirements. You will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to start up (starƟng
load) and it's conƟnued running power requirements (conƟnuous load). Power consumpƟon is rated either in
waƩage (waƩs) or in amperes (amps) and this informaƟon is usually stamped or printed on most appliances and
equipment. If this informaƟon is not indicated on the appliance or equipment, check the owner's manual or
contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you are using is compaƟble with a modiĮed sine wave source.
MulƟply: AMPS X 110 (AC voltagĞͿ = WATTS
This formula yields a close approximaƟon of the conƟnuous load of your Appliance
DƵůƟply: WATTS X 2 = StarƟng Load
This formula yields a close approximaƟon of the starƟng load of your appliance. Most oŌen the start up load of
the appliance or power tool determines whether your inverter has the capability to power it.
To determine whether the inverter will operate a parƟcular piece of equipment or appliance, run a test. The
inverters are designed to automaƟcally shut down in the event of a power overload. This protĞĐƟŽŶ feature
prevents damage to the unit while tesƟng appliances and equipment with raƟngs in the ϴϬϬͲtĂƩ range.
Important
xThe inverter is designed to operate from a 12-Volt power source only. Do not ĂƩempt to connect the
inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source.
xDo not ĂƩempt to extend or otherwise modify the 12-Volt power cord ĂƩached to your inverter.

x110 volts can be lethal. Improper use of your inverter may result in property damage, personal injury or
even death.
If an appliance in the ϴϬϬͲtĂƩ range will not operate properly when Įrst connected to the inverter, turn the
inverter rocker switch ON, OFF,and ON again in quick succession. If this procedure is not successful, it is likely that
the inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the appliance in quesƟon.

ConnecƟŶg Your Inverter
1. Make sure the ON/OFF rocker switch located on the front panel of the inverter is in the OFF (0) posiƟon.
2.
Push the 12-Voltpower plug Įrmly into the 12V DC receptacle in your vehicle.
3. Turn the inverter rocker switch to the ON posiƟon. The GREEN LED Indicator light should glow, conĮrming
that there is power running to the inverter.
4. ConĮrm that the appliance to be operated is turned OFF. Turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF
posiƟon. Plug the appliance into the AC receptacle on the front panel ofthe inverter.
5. Turn the inverter rocker switch to the ON posiƟon. Turn the equipment or appliance on.
Note
xUse of an extension cord from the inverter to the appliance or equipment being operated will not
signŝĮĐantly decrease the power being generated by the inverter. For best operaƟng results, the extension
cord should be no more than 50 feet long.
xIf the green LED blinks when you Įrst turn the inverter ON, this indicates that there is a short circuit within
the power supply. Turn the inverter OFFŝƐĐŽŶŶĞĐƚƚŚĞƉŽǁĞƌĐĂďůĞƐĐŚĞĐŬĐŽŶŶĞĐƟŽŶƐĂŶĚƌĞĐŽŶŶĞĐƚLJŽƵƌ

Television and Audio SuggesƟons
Although these inverters are shielded and Įltered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your
televisionpicture may be unavoidable, especially with weaksignals. However, here are some suggesƟons that may
improve receƉƟŽŶ.
1. First, make sure that television antenna producesa clear signal under normal operaƟng condiƟons (i.e., at
home plugged into a standard 110VAC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded
and of good quality.
2. Change the posiƟons of the inverter, antenna cables and television power cord.
3. Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12-Voltpower source by running an
extension cord from the inverter to the television set.
4. Coil the television power cord and the input cables running from the 12-Voltpower source to the inverter.
5. AƩach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter" to the television power cord. More than one Įlter may be required. These
Įlters are available at most electronic supply stores.
Note
xInexpensive sound systems may emit a "buzzing" sound when operated with the inverter. This is due to
inadequate Įlters in the sound system. There is no soluƟon to this problem short of purchasing a sound
system with a higher quality power supply.
Blown AutomoƟǀĞ Fuses
Depending on the make and model of your automobile, running the power inverter near full capacity from your
cigareƩe lighter port may result in a blown automoƟve cigaƌĞƩe lighter fuse. This fuse will need to be replaced
with the same size fuse. Please note, a blown automoƟve fuse will not cause damage to yourcar wiring. To avoid
blowing an automoƟve fuse in this situaƟon, do not operate the power inverter over 80ϬͲtĂƩƐ for extended
periods of Ɵme from your cigaƌĞƩe lighter or 12-Volt power port.
Blown Power Inverter Fuses
Source of Power
8
Your power inverter is equipped with (4) internal 25A spade-type fuses. With reasonable care it should not be
necessary to replace these fuses. Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short circuit within the
appliance or equipment being operated. If the fuse happens to blow, disconnect the appliance or equipment

Most automobile and marine baƩeries will provide an ample power supply to the inverter for 30 to 60 minutes
even when the engine is oī. Actual ƟŵĞ may vary depending upon the age and condiƟon of the baƩery, and the
power demand being placed on it by the equipment being operated with the inverter. If youdecide to usethe
inverter while the engine is oī,we recommend that you start the engine every hour and let it run for approximately
10 minutes to recharge the baƩery. We also recommend that the device plugged into the inverter be turned OFF
before starƟng the vehicle engine. Although it is not necessary to disconnect the inverter when turning over the
engine, it may momentarily cease to operate as the baƩery voltage decreases. When the inverter is not supplying
power, it draws very low amperage from the baƩery and may be leŌconnected to the baƩery for up to three hours.
However, we recommend the inverter always be disconnected when not in use.

Inverter ProtecƟŽn Features
Note

How Power Inverters Work
There are two stages in which a power inverter changes the 12-Volt DC (or baƩery) power into 110V AC
(household current).
STAGE 1:
The inverter uses a DC-to-DC converter to increase the DC input voltage from the power source to 145 volts DC.
STAGE 2:
The inverter then converts the high voltage DC into 110V AC (household current), using advanced MOSFET (Metal-
oxide-Semiconductor Field Eīect Transistor) transistors in a full bridge conĮguraƟon. This design provides all our
inverters with the capability to start and run diĸcult reacƟve loads, while providing excellent overload capability.
The waveform that is generated by this conversion is a ΗŵŽĚŝĮed sine wave" as shown in the diagram below.
The inverter is equipped with a cooling fan which is designed to save energy by only running when the
load exceeds 30% of the power of the inverter OR when the inside temperature of the inverter exceeds
140°F (60°C) .

The modiĮed sine wave produced by our inverters has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 110 volts. The
majority of AC voltmeters are calibrated for RMS voltage and assume that the measured waveform will be a pure
sine wave. Consequently, these meters will not read the RMS modiĮed sine wave voltage correctly and, when
measuring the inverter output, the meters will read about 20 to 30 volts too low. To accurately measure of the
output voltage of the inverter, use a true RMS reading voltmeter such as a Fluke 87, Fluke 8060A,Beckman 4410,
Triplet 4200 or any mulƟmeter idenƟĮed as "True RMS"

In Review
xNever aƩempt to operate the inverter from any power source other than a 12-Volt DC volt baƩery.
