Things to remember when operating your SOLAR power inverter:
Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage and may cause damage
to the wires and insulation in the power inverter. Always check that all connections are
correct and secure prior to powering the inverter and any device connected to it.
Failure to make a proper connection between the power inverter and the 12 Volt
power source can result in a reverse polarity condition. A reverse polarity condition will
blow the internal fuse(s) of the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the
inverter. Damage caused by a reverse polarity condition is not covered in the warranty.
When making the connection between the Positive terminals of the power inverter and
the 12 Volt power source, it is possible that you may create a spark. For this reason, it
is critical that the power inverter and the 12 Volt power source not be positioned in the
vicinity of flammable fumes or gases.
If the power cables provided with your SOLAR power inverter are too short to allow
the inverter to be operated in your desired location, the inverter may be connected to
the power source using #4 AWG cable. The steps for making the connection and the
safety precautions required to ensure safe use remain unchanged.
When attempting to power any device using your inverter, monitor the temperature of
the device for approximately 10 minutes. If the device being powered becomes
abnormally warm, disconnect it from the power inverter immediately.
When using an automobile or marine battery to power the inverter, start the vehicle's
engine every 30 to 60 minutes and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge
the vehicle's battery. We recommend that the device being powered by the inverter, as
well as the inverter itself, be turned
When your power inverter is not in use and turned
from the 12 Volt power source when connected. As a result, we recommend that you
disconnect the power inverter from the 12 Volt power source when not in use.
Use of an extension cord between the SOLAR power inverter and the device being
powered will not significantly decrease the power generated by the power inverter.
For best results, do not use an extension cord longer than 50 ft.
Suggestions When Using Your SOLAR Power Inverter
to Power Television and Audio Devices:
Although your SOLAR power inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal
interference, some interference with your television and audio equipment may be
unavoidable, particularly when they have weak signals. Here are a few suggestions to
improve your reception under these circumstances:
1. Make sure the television/audio antenna on the device produces a clear signal
under normal operating conditions (when plugged into a standard 110 Volt AC
outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna is properly shielded and of good quality.
2. Change the positions of the power inverter, antenna, and tv/audio power cord
to see if a change of their relative positions improves your reception.
3. Isolate the television/audio device, its power cord and antenna cables from the
power inverter and 12 Volt power source by running an extension cord from the
television/audio device power cord to the inverter.
