USER MANUAL FOR DC12V 500 WATTS POWER INVERTER
Readbeforeoperatingthisequipment
Your 500 watt power inverter converts 12-volt vehicle battery power into 230 volts of AC power.
You can use the inverter in your vehicle to operate many types of appliances that use AC power
such as TVs, VCRs, portable computers, power tools and lights for emergency or camping use.
The inverter works with your vehicle’s engine turned on or off (accessory mode). It provides a
continuous output of up to 500 watts.
BASIC OPERATION
Use the right operating voltage for both input and output of the inverter.
Connecting RED terminal from inverter to + of battery terminal and connect BLACK terminal
from inverter to – of battery terminal.
Insert the plug of your appliances into AC socket at the front of the inverter.
Turn ON the power switch that is located at the front of the inverter, and the green LED light
will light as indicator that the unit at work.
RECOMMENDATION
If the power inverter makes beeping sound, turn OFF the power inverter and disconnect all
appliances from inverter and disconnect the inverter from the power supply. The beeping sound
is simply the low battery warning, which indicates that the voltage of the battery power supply
is getting low. Please restart the vehicle engine before operating the power inverter.
When you are not using the inverter, turn the switch to OFF and disconnect the inverter from
the power supply.
Disconnect the inverter when starting the vehicle’s engine.
BATTERY USE
TO avoid over-discharging your vehicle’s battery, you should run your engine for 10-20 minutes to
recharge the vehicle’s battery after 2-3 hours of operating the inverter.
If you choose to connect the vehicle directly to your battery terminals, it is important to connect
with right polarity (Connect + from inverter to + of battery terminal and connect – from inverter to
– of battery terminal)

CAUTION:
THE FOLLOWINGS OPERATION WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT:
REVERSE POLARITY BY CONNECTING THE WIRES TO THE INCORRECT
TERMINALS.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER TO REPLENISH BATTERY WITHOUT
DISCONNECTING THE INVERTER FIRST.
CONNECTING THE INVERTER TO POWER SOURCE GREATER THAN 15- VOLT DC.
MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE
The output waveform of the AC output is a MODIFIED SINE WAVE. To measure the AC output
voltage, you must have a TRUE RMS VOLTMETER.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Do not open the case of the inverter. The high voltage inside the unit is the same type of power as
our electrical outlets at home.
Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance’s cord get wet.
Do not operate the inverter in or around water. The voltage of the unit makes electrical shock hazard
if operated in wet conditions.
Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC power source.
Allow at least 1 inch of clearance around the inverter for airflow.
If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need to secure the inverter to prevent it from
shifting around while the vehicle is moving.
If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect from 12V power supply.
BEFORE ANY OTHER TROUBLE SHOOTING, ALWAYS CHECK THE FUSES AND
REPLACE IF NECESSARY.

MAINTENANCE
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating properly.
DESCRIPTION
1000W Peak power- Allow you to power appliances that require a large amount of initial power to
work (such as many TVs and motor-power equipments).
Low Battery alarm- the inverter sounds and audible alarm then turns itself off if the source battery
becomes too low.
Auto shutdown/reset protection--- the inverter temporarily shuts itself down to protect itself from
overheating.
Overload/Short Circuit Protection--- the inverter automatically turns itself off if the connected load
is too high or if it shorts.
AC Outlet—allows you to power AC appliances.
FUSES ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT

HEAT DISPERSAL - CAUTION
The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is not a malfunction. However, if the inverter
gets too hot while working, it will turn off by itself.
Position the inverter where air flows freely around it to allow the heat to disperse.
The inverter’s thermal protection prevents it from operating when its temperature exceeds 140+/-
9 °F (60+/-5 °C).
