FEATURES
a). ON/OFF Switch. This switch controls the flow of power from
the power source to the inverter. It does not control the power
running from the inverter to the equipment or appliance being
operated.
b). High Temperature LED Indicator Light. This light will turn
RED and the inverter will automatically shut down when the internal
temperature exceeds design parameters for safe operation.
When this occurs, turn the equipment or appliance off.
Overheating may result when the inverter is being operated at
levels exceeding its wattage rating or because it has been placed
in a locationor in an manner which prevents proper heat
dissipation. After approximately 15 minutes, the High
Temperature Indicator light and the Cooling Fan will turn off and
the inverter will automatically restart indicating that the inverter
temperature has dropped to a safe operating level.
Over Load LED Indicator Light. This light will turn RED and the inverter
will automatically shut down when the continuous power draw
from the inverter exceeds the maximum
continuous power rating for the inverter. Turn the inverter OFF
(O), determine and resolve the cause of the overload prior to
resuming operation of the equipment or appliance. Turning the
inverter ON (I) will reset it.
c).Remote Operation Jack.
The inverter is designed to be operated from a remote location
via the WHISTLER 401009 Remote Control Switch which plugs
into this socket. This optional accessory is available through
WHISTLER or your WHISTLER dealer.
d). Wattage & Voltage
Wattage Indicator. This LCD Digital display monitors the DC
voltage, AC voltage and wattage at the inverter. When the
reading rises above the rated limits, the inverter may
automatically shut down. In this event, it is likely that the draw of
the equipment or appliance being operated is greater than the
battery is capable of producing.

FEATURES

Voltage Indicator. This LCD display also monitors the voltage
being drawn from the battery by the inverter. The voltage is
measured at the Negative and Positive power input terminals on the
inverter. The voltage level reading may be lower than the battery
voltage due to the voltage "drop" that occurs as the battery
voltage runs through the terminal connections and cables.
The inverter is designed to operate with input voltages ranging
from 11 to 15 volts. When the voltage drops below 11 volts DC
an audible alarm will sound. If the voltage drops below 11 volts
DC, the voltage indicator will go out and the inverter will
automatically shut down. The inverter also will shut down
automatically when the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC.
Despite this "built in" protection, the inverter may be damaged
if the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC and damage caused by
excess voltage input is not covered under the WHISTLER
warranty.
NNoottee::
In the event of automatic shut down or continuous
audible alarm, turn the inverter OFF (O) until the source of the
related problem has been determined and resolved.
e). Standard North American 110 AC Outlets are provided.
f). Cooling Fan. This fan will turn on automatically when the unit
is turned on.
g).Chassis Ground Terminal Lug.
h). Power Input Terminals
Make note of the proper polarity.
i). External Fuse Cover
NNoottee::
The 3000 watt inverters incorporates all of the operating and
safety features of the 1200 and 2000 models.
