Whistler 3000 WATT Power Supply User Manual


 
OPERATION SUMMARY
Make certain the rated power consumption of the
appliance or equipment you wish to operate is compatible
with the capacity of your inverter.
If the rated power consumption of the equipment is in
the range of the maximum specified wattage of your
converter, test the inverter to ensure that it will operate
properly.
Before attempting to use a battery charger see page 19.
Before attempting to use medical equipment see page 8.
Use the heaviest gauge wire (smaller the number, the
larger or heavier the cable) available to connect the
inverter to the power source.
When operating the inverter with the engine off, start the
engine every 30 to 60 minutes and let it run for at least
10 minutes to recharge the battery.
In the event of automatic shut down, turn the inverter
OFF (O) immediately. Do not restart the inverter until the
source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
To avoid battery drain always disconnect the inverter
when the vehicle is not in use for long periods.
Do not expose the inverter to moisture.

In Review.
Never attempt to operate your Whistler inverter from
any power source other than a 12 volt battery or a
group of batteries that total 12 volts.
Always make certain that the power cable terminal
connections run Negative (-) to Negative (-) and
Positive (+) to Positive (+). Check these connections
frequently to ensure that they are secure.
