Connecting Inverter Cables - Schumacher PID-410 Manual Del Usuario

IMPORTANT: Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a
particular piece of equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the inverter
is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the
inverter while testing devices and equipment within the wattage range of the inverter.
If a device does not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, turn the
inverter ON (I), OFF (O), and ON (I) again in quick succession. If this procedure is
not successful, it is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to
operate the device in question.
IMPORTANT: This inverter is designed to power 100 watt devices or less when
used with the vehicle 12 volt accessory port. To use the full output you must use
the battery clips adapter and connect the inverter directly to the battery.
NOTE: The 100 watt limit is to accommodate the fuse ratings for all vehicles.
Some vehicles may allow the full output. If the fuse blows when you switch on the
device you are trying to use, you have to either use a smaller device or you must
purchase the 12 volt accessory outlet to battery clips adapter (Schumacher Model
SAC-103) and connect the inverter directly to the battery.
IMPORTANT: This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore, we do not
recommend you use it to power the following devices:
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line filter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high intensity lamps (with a ballast)
9. Transformerless battery chargers
Doing so may cause the device to run warmer or overheat.

4. CONNECTING INVERTER CABLES

The inverter and power source must be in the OFF mode.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you connect your inverter to a 12V power supply only.
Inverter connection:
1. Locate the positive and negative plastic terminals located on the back of the
inverter and remove the terminal caps completely.
2. Install the positive (red) cable ring lug onto the positive (red) terminal screw.
Install the negative (black) cable ring lug onto the negative (black) terminal
screw. Tighten each terminal so that the cable cannot come loose.
