Introducing Inverters
The latest range leads the field in power inverters, and sets the pace in
develop-ment and design. They have been meticulously assembled to provide
reliable service, converting low voltage, direct current (DC) to 110 volt alternating
household current (AC). They draw their power from different sources depending
on the model and its capacity:
Standard 12 volt automobile battery
Portable high power 12 volt sources.
Before Using
When you turn on an appliance or a tool that runs on a motor, the appliance
basically goes through two stages:
1. Start up - requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the starting
load or peak load .
2. Continuous operation - power consumption drops (commonly known as the
continuous load .)
Before using your power inverter, you need to calculate these loads, i.e.:
1. Starting load (at start up)
2. Continuous load (on continuous operation)
The formula for power consumption (measured in either WATTS (wattage) or AMPS
(amperes)) is: AMPS x 110 (AC voltage)=WATTS

User Manual
e a age (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can
prin ed on most appliances and equipment, or in e
contact the manufacturer to find out whether the device yo are
with a modified sine wave.
To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x WATTS
In general, the start up load of the appliance or power tool determines whether your
inverter has the capability to power it.
To calculate the continuous load (same as wattage in the above formula):
Continuous load = AMPS x 110 (AC voltage
Atte lon:
n the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut
down. This safety feature prevents damaging the unit while testing appliances and
equipment within the 200 watt range.

How To Connect Inverter
1. Make sure the ON/OFF rocker switch (see diagram, part A) is in the OFF (0)
position.
2. Remove the cigarette lighter from its outlet in your vehicle.
3. Push the 12 volt power plug firmly into the outlet.
Important Safety easures a a surface .
• Keep the inverter dry .
• Do not allow it to come into contact with rain or moisture.
• Do not operate the inverter if you, the inverter the device being operated or
e i co ac any power source are wet.
• Wa er an any e Ii ca conduct electricity, which may lead to serious
injury or death.
• Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead to serious
injury or death.
• Do not place the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat.
• Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. The ideal air temperature for operation is
between SO°Fand 80°F.
• Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly disperse heat generated while
it is in use.
