NOTE: You can use an extension cord from the in-
verter to the device without significantly decreasing
the power being generated by the inverter. Use an 18
gauge (AWG) extension cord with the PI-200 and PI-400
inverters and a 16 gauge (AWG) extension cord with the
PI-750 inverter. For best operating results, the extension
cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Device:
The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal
interference. Despite this, some interference may occur
with your television picture, especially with weak signals.
Below are some suggestions to try and improve recep-
tion.
1. Make sure the television antenna produces a clear
signal under normal operating conditions (i.e. at home
plugged into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet). Also,
ensure that the antenna cable is adequately shielded
and of good quality.
2. Try altering the position of the inverter, antenna
cables, and television power cord. Add an exten-
sion cord from the inverter to the TV so as to isolate
its power cord and antenna cables from the 12-volt
power source.
3. Try coiling the television power cord and the input
cables running from the 12-volt power source to the
inverter.
4. Affix one or several "Ferrite Data Line Filters" to the
television power cord. Ferrite Data Line Filters can be
purchased at most electronic supply stores.
5. Try grounding the inverter with an 18 AWG (mini-
mum) wire, using as short a length as possible.
