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. Don’t Blow A Fuse. This inverter is equipped with an internal spade type fuse(s). With reasonable care, it should not be necessary to replace the fuse(s) in your inverter. Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short circuit within the appliance or equipment being operated. If the fuse(s) 11 ADDITIONAL OPERATION pro200-4/30/2010 9:07 AM Page 15 ADDITIONAL OPERATION pro200-4/30/2010 9:07 AM Page 15 does blow, turn off and disconnect the appliance equipment from the inverter immediately, repair the related problem and replace the fuse(s). The internal fuses are replaceable, however only electronically knowledgeable people should attempt fuse replacement. Note: • Make certain to correct the source of the overload which caused the blown fuse before turning your inverter back ON (l). The Power Source. When the engine is off, most batteries will provide an ample power supply 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 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 hour 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 disconnect 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 very low amperage from the battery (<0.70 A ). 12 Automatic Shut Down & Each inverter has an unique LED indicator light system which operates in conjunction automatic shut down feature. These indicator lights operate as follows: GREEN LED: System ready. RED LED: System overload/automatic shut down. Your inverter will shut down automatically when any of the following problems occur: 1. The power input from the battery drops below 10 volts. 2. The power input from the battery exceeds 15.5+/-0.5 volts. 3. The continuous draw of the appliance or equipment being operated exceeds the design parameters of the inverter. The inverters are also equipped with the following additional safety features: 1. Thermal Cut Off Automatic shut down if internal temperature exceeds safe design parameters. 13 ADDITIONAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE pro200-4/30/2010 9:07 AM Page 17 ADDITIONAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE pro200-4/30/2010 9:07 AM Page 17 2. Low Battery Voltage Alarm/Shutdown Protection a) When the input voltage from the 12 volt power source drops below 10.5 volts, an audible This is the low battery voltage alarm. b) The inverter will automatically shut down when input voltage drops below 10 volts. This protects the battery from completely draining. In the event of automatic shut down or continuous alarm, turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (O) position until the source of the related problem has been identified and resolved. Some Powerful Advice. When driving with the inverter in operation, make certain that neither the inverter nor the power cords will impede safe operation of your vehicle. Keep the unit and all cords clear of the steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and gear shift. 14 To maintain your inverter in proper working condition, note the following important safety precautions: • MOISTURE. Keep the inverter dry. Do not expose it to moisture. Do not operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device being operated or any other surfaces that may come in contact with any sources are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity which may lead to serious or death. • HEAT. For peak efficiency, the ambient air temperature should be between 50° and 80° F. Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. • VENTILATION. In order to disperse the heat generated while the inverter is in operation, keep it well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the inverter. • FUMES & GASES. Avoid using the inverter near flammable materials. Do not place the inverter in areas such as battery compartments. Where fumes or gases may accumulate. In Review. • Never attempt to operate your WHISTLER inverter from any power source other than a...
