OPERATIONOPERATION
• Check frequently to ensure that the input and
output connections are secure. Loose connections
may damage the inverter, the power source, or
may generate excessive heat.
To generate the maximum output, the Pro-3000W watt
model (for example) should be connected to a power
supply which has the capacity to produce up to 300
amps. The loads should be distributed between the
receptacles to ensure that each outlet is producing no
more than its maximum 1500 watt output.
If more than one piece of equipment or appliance is
to be operated at the same time, first turn on the
inverter and then turn on each piece of equipment or
appliance separately to enable the inverter to produce
the required start up loads.
Important Information on Battery Chargers
Using your inverter with battery chargers for power tools,
flashlights, video cameras and laptop computers may cause
damage to the inverter or the charging unit. Check with the
appliance manufacturer for compatibility with modified sine
wave inverters if you’re unsure.
Although we advise against it, if you attempt to use a
charging unit, monitor the temperature of the charging unit
for approximately 10 minutes. If the charging unit becomes
unusually warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
The Power Source.
When the engine is off, most batteries will provide ample power
to the inverter for one to two hours. The actual length of time
is a function of several variables including the age and
condition of the battery, the number of batteries and the power
demand being placed on it by the equipment being operated
with the inverter. If you are using the inverter while the engine
is off, we recommend you start the engine every 30 to 60
minutes and let it run for at least 10 minutes to recharge the
battery. We also recommend that the device plugged into
the inverter be turned off before turning over the engine.
Although it is not necessary to turn off the inverter when turning
over the engine, the inverter may momentarily cease operation
as the battery voltage decreases. When the inverter is not
supplying power, and is turned on, it draws low amperage
from the battery (see specifications).
For You Television Fans & Audiophiles.
Although the inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal
interference, some interference with your television picture
may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However,
here are some suggestions that may improve the reception.
1. First, make certain that the television antenna produces
a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e.,
at home plugged into a standard 110 AC wall outlet).
Also, ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded
and of good quality.
