b. Avoid Overloading
Do not connect to any appliance whose total wattage rating is beyond the maximum power rating of the
converter (or to multiple appliances whose combined wattage ratings are greater than the maximum
converter rating.) When connected to an appliance with a built-in motor compressor, the starting power
is generally several times that of the appliance’s listed power rating. Make sure that the total starting
power capacity of all connected appliances does not exceed the listed maximum output power of the
converter. For color TV, calculate twice the listed capacity.
Devices that can generate internal induction voltage or static charge should not be used with a TI
transformer.
c. This voltage converter does not convert the frequency of the entering current
Voltage converters do not convert the frequency (Hertz, Hz) of the electric current (eg. 60Hz in North
America to 50Hz in Europe). For most devices this will not pose a problem, because they will be
compatible on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. For some equipment this can cause changes in running
performance or damage to the equipment. These include, but are not limited to the following : analog
clocks, electric typewriters, large home appliances, microwaves, motorized equipment, power tools,
TVs, and record players. If you have any doubt about the compatibility of your device with a voltage
converter, please contact the device manufacturer.
d. Always place the converter in an environment that is:
- Well ventilated.
- Not exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Out of reach of children.
- Away from water moisture, oil or grease.
- Away from any ammable substance.
e. When one of the fuses burns out
Models: TI 200, TI 300, TI 500
The fuse burns out and opens the circuit if the converter is either over loaded with too much power from
the connected appliances or if the wrong input voltage was selected on the back of the converter. If this
happens when the 220V input is selected then the 220V fuse will burn out and if it happens when the
110V input is selected then the 110V fuse will burn out. Unplug the converter from the wall outlet and
remove all connected appliances. Double check if the correct input voltage is selected and replace the
burnt fuse with a same rating fuse. Wait a few minutes. Then re-connect the appliances. Ensure that the
appliances are turned off before you connect them. Ensure that the combined rated power of all
appliances does not exceed the power rating of the converter. Then connect the converter to the power
supply. Switch on the converter and the connected appliances one by one.
f. When the circuit breaker switch for overload protection is tripped
Models: TI 800, TI 1000, TI 1500, TI 2000
The circuit breaker trips and opens the circuit if the converter is either over loaded with too much power
from the connected appliances or if the wrong input voltage is selected on the back of the converter. If
this happens when the 220V input is selected then the 220V circuit breaker will trip and if it happens
when the 110V input is selected then the 110V circuit breaker will trip. Unplug the converter from the
wall outlet and remove all connected appliances. Double check if the correct input voltage is selected
and push the circuit breaker button. Wait a few minutes. Then re-connect the appliances. Ensure that
the appliances are turned off before you connect them. Ensure that the combined rated power of all
appliances does not exceed the power rating of the converter. Then connect the converter to the power
supply. Switch on the converter and the connected appliances one by one.
