Automotive batteries are recommended for only a short period of time of an hour or less. 00-99-000628/0206 Model PI-1500 - - The advanced surge capacity of the PI-1500 power inverter gives it the means to start most electrical devices including: color televisions, TV/VCR/DVD combinations, small microwaves, refrigeration electric coolers, small air conditioners. Warning: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Important Safety Measures Precautions to keep in mind before and while using your power inverter: • For the most effective use, place the power inverter on a flat surface. • Keep the inverter dry. • DO NOT allow it to come into contact with rain or 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 power source are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead to serious injury or death. • Do not place the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat. - - • Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. The ideal air temperature for operation is between 30. and 105.F. • Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly disperse heat generated while it is in use. • While in use, make sure there are several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the inverter. • Do not use the inverter near flammable materials. • Do not place or install the inverter in areas such as battery or engine compartments where fumes or gases may accumulate. • Only connect the power inverter to a 12-volt battery. Connecting to a 6V or 16V battery will cause damage to the inverter. • Only connect the power inverter to a 12-volt battery with the supplied 12-volt power cords. Make sure the cord connections to the inverter are tight. • Do not modify the positive and negative cables or plug in any way. • Make sure the power consumption of the device or equipment you want to operate is compatible with the capacity of the inverter, and does not exceed 1500 watts. • If you are using the power inverter to operate battery charger, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately. • If you are powering the inverter with an automobile or marine battery, start the engine every 30 to 45 minutes and let it run for about 10 minutes to recharge the battery. • If you hear a continuous alarm or automatic shut down, turn the inverter OFF immediately. Do not restart the inverter until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected. • Disconnect the inverter when not in use in order to avoid battery drain. Before Using PI-1500 It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The PI-1500 must be used with devices drawing 1500 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be made by multiplying the AC input current (Amps) by the AC voltage (110V). Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start (commonly known as the “starting or peak power”). The PI-1500 can supply a momentary surge in wattage; however even devices rated less than the maximum 1500 watts can exceed the inverters surge capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown. Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter. Attention: Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment within the 1500-watt range. If a device will not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, turn the inverter rocker switch ON (I), OFF (O), and ON (I) again in quick succession. If this procedure is not successful, it is likely that the PI-1500 inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the device in question. Important: Make sure you connect your inverter to a 12-volt power supply only. Connecting to another voltage including any AC power source, will result in damage. • Do not try extending or otherwise changing the 12-volt power cord of your inverter. • Install in negative ground applications only. • Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury. Electrical current on a 110-volt circuit can be very dangerous. Fastening the PI-1500 to a Flat Surface For convenience, the PI-1500 can be fastened to a flat surface, horizontally or vertically. The area where the inverter is to be fastened must be dry, well ventilated and away from any combustible products or fumes. 1. Turn off the PI-1500. 2. Place the back ...
