Protecting The Environment - Black+Decker PI750LA Manual De Instrucciones

12 • ENGLISH
Through its AC outlet, the inverter is capable of powering
most 220V (B2C) and 120V (B3) products that use 750W or
less. The unit will operate from input voltages ranging from
11V to 14.5V DC.
As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall. When
the inverter senses that the voltage at its DC input has
dropped to the range of 10.7V ~ 11.3V DC, an audible
sounds. This allows time for computers or other sensitive
devices to be shut down. If the audible alarm is ignored,
the inverter will automatically shut down when the voltage
dropped to the range of 10.2V ~ 10.8V DC. The red LED
indicator illuminates, indicating a fault. This protects the
battery from being over-discharged. Turn off any devices
that the inverter is powering. When input voltage rose to
11.7V ~ 12.3V DC, inverter restores normal.
Caution! Most vehicle batteries are designed to provide
short period of very high current for starting the engine.
They are not designed for a constant "deep discharge".
Constantly operating the unit from a vehicle battery until
the low voltage shut off will affect the life of the battery. If
you are operating electrical products for extended periods
of time, you should consider connecting the unit to a
separate deep discharge battery.
Should a defective battery charging system cause the
battery voltage to rise to the range of 15V ~ 16V DC, the
inverter automatically shuts down; and the red LED lights.
Caution! Although the inverter incorporates
protection against over-voltage, it may still be
damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16V.
If an AC product rated higher than 750W (or which draws
excessive surge power) is connected, the inverter will shut
down. The red LED light will light.
The unit will shut down automatically if the inverter
exceeds a safe operating temperature due to insufficient
ventilation or a high-temperature environment; and the red
LED indicator lights.
The cooling fan is designed to operate only when output
power is greater than approximately 150W. When the
inverter is turned on, the fan may operate momentarily.
Battery operating time
Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of
the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the
particular AC load. With a typical vehicle battery and a 750W
load, an operating time of 1 hour or more can be expected.
When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly
recommended to start the vehicle every hour to recharge the
battery before its capacity drops too low. The inverter can
operate while the engine is running, but the normal voltage
drop that occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the
inverter's low voltage shutdown feature.
Because the power inverter draws less than 0.5A with
it turned on and with no AC product connected, it has
minimal impact on battery operating times.
Interference with Electronic Equipment
Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter
just as they would with household AC power. Below is the
information concerning two possible exceptions.
Buzzing and in audio systems and radios
Some stereo systems and AM-FM radios have inadequate
internal power supply filtering and "buzz" slightly when
powered by the inverter. Generally, the only solution is an
audio product with a higher quality filter.
Television interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with
TV signals. However, with weak TV signals interference
may be visible in the form of lines scrolling across the
screen.
The following should minimize or eliminate the problem:
f Increase the distance between the inverter and the
TV, antenna and cables.
f Adjust the orientation of the inverter television,
antenna and cables.
f Maximize TV signal strength by using a better
antenna and use shielded antenna cable where
possible.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Separate collection. This product must not be
disposed of with normal household waste.
Should you find one day that your
BLACK+DECKER product needs replacement,
or if it is of no further use to you, do not dispose
of it with household waste. Make this product
available for separate collection.
Separate collection of used products and
packaging allows materials to be recycled and
used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps
prevent environmental pollution and reduces the
demand for raw materials. Local regulations may
provide for separate collection of electrical
products from the household, at municipal waste
sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new
product.
