the AC outlet. Ensure that your do not
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is
partially inside the inverter.
Warnings and Cautions
The
EN150
housing
may become
uncomfortably
warm, reaching 60 °C (140 °F) under extended high
power operation. During operation, keep it away
from materials that may be affected by high
temperatures.
Do not use the
EN150
in
the
presence
of
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline powered boat, ornear propane tanks. Do
not use the
EN150
in
an enclosure area
containing
automotive-type,lead-acid batteries. These batteries,
unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive hydrogen gas,
which can be ignited by sparks from electrical
connections.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock
hazard.
Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or
removing an AC plug. Keep your
clear of

CAUTION: Risk of Fire.
Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher
than recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer.
Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle
can supply this product without causing the vehicle
fusing to open. Information on the vehicle fuse
rating is typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual.
If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on
replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found.
On no account should fuses be patched up with
tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage
elsewhere in the electrical circuit or

CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal
Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries
can be damaged if connected to the
EN150.
Do not use the inverter with the following
appliances:
• Small battery-operated appliances like
rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable
shavers, and night lights that are plugged
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Battery chargers used in hand power tools.
These chargers display a warning label stating
that dangerous voltages are present at the
charger battery terminals.
CAUTION
Do not connect live AC power to the
EN150
AC outlets. This will damage the inverter,
and the damage is not covered by warranty.
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral
conductor connected to ground to the
EN150

Additional Safety Guidelines
•Do not insert foreign objects in the
EN150out lets orothe rope nings.
•Never connect the inverter to power utility AC
distribution wiring.
•Do not use the EN150in te mperatu res
over 40 °C (100 °F).
•Do not expose the EN150to wate r,rain,
snow, or spray.
Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause
personal injury and/or damage to the EN150
It may also void your product warranty.

5 Using the Inverter
Through its AC outlet, the
EN
150
is capable
of powering most 120V AC products that use
150W
or
less.
The
EN 150 cup inverter
can also power
or charge most consumer electronics that have USB
power ports.
The
EN 150
AC
output
waveform,
called
“modified sine wave” is designed to function
similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power.
Most devices are not affected by a "modified sine
wave," you may need to consult with the manufacture
of the device you wish to run prior to connection
with inverter.

1. Plug a DC cable into the DC cable port on the
EN150 and connect to a 12V cigarette lighter
receptacle.
2. Plug the device you want to operate into the
EN150
3. When the inverter is not in use, unplug it from the
12V outlet to prevent slight discharge of the
battery.

6 Inverter Operation
1.
When properly connected to a 12V outlet,
the
light will glow BLUE, indicating the inverter is
ready.
2. Plug the product(s) you want to operate into the
AC outlet or USB port and switch them on (if
necessary).
Operating Guidelines
• As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall.
When the EN150
senses that the
voltage
at its DC input has dropped to 10.5V, the inverter
automatically shuts down and the light glows RED,
indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from
being damaged. Turn off any devices that the
EN150
is
powering.
