– Controls and Functions
– Names of parts, indicators, ports

HOW THIS INVERTER WORKS
– Power Inverter Output Waveform. The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave.
– Incompatible Products

PROTECTIVE FEATURES
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
– Low Battery Voltage
– Input Voltage Too High
– Thermal Shutdown Protection
– Overload/Short Circuit Protection

OPERATING TIPS

INSTALLATION
– Metal Plate Installation
– Mounting the Inverter

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
– The Power Inverter must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts.
– Connection to Power Source
– Connecting to a power source using the DC accessory outlet plug (up to 100W only)
– How to turn the inverter on.
Notes: If the power/fault LED flashes red, the unit emits three beeps every five seconds, the 100W LED indicator does not light and the AC outlets and USB charging ports shut down, a fault condition has occurred. Refer to the Protective Features section and the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
– Connecting to a power source using the provided battery clips with slide-in connectors
– Direct hardwiring to power source (optional connection method)
– Important cable information
– Connection To Load
– Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
– Inductive loads, i.e. power tools

READING THE POWER/FAULT LED
The power/fault LED is located inside the On/Off Button. Press the On/Off Button once to turn the unit on.
The Power/Fault LED lights or flashes in one of three colors, indicating the following:
– Blue: The inverter is properly connected to a functioning DC power source and is operating at full voltage; the AC outlets and USB charging ports are ready to use.
– Orange: The inverter is properly connected to a functioning DC power source and is operating at partial voltage. The AC and USB outlets are active; however this indicates the inverter will shut down soon as the power source voltage is low.
– Red (flashing): A fault has accured. The unit emits three beeps every five seconds, and the AC and USB outlets are automatically shut down. Refer to the Protective Features Seconds and the Troubleshooting Section of this Instruction Manual. Press the On/Off Button to turn the inverter off, correct the fault and then press the On/Off Button again to turn the inverter back on.
– Operation of the 120 Volts AC Outlets
