BUZZ IN AUDIO SYSTEMS
Some stereo systems and boom boxes will emit a buzzing noise from their
loudspeakers when operated from the power inverter because the power supply
in the device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the
power inverter. The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a
higher quality power supply.
TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
Operating the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some
channels. If this situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the
problem:
• Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching
television.
• Make sure the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate static-
free signal and you are using good quality cable between the antenna and
the television.
• Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.
• Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as
possible and twist them together with about 2 to 3 twists per foot. This
minimizes radiated interference from the cables.
• Ferrite beads may be installed around battery cables and AC appliance
cords to reduce noise.
MAINTENANCE
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating properly.
Periodically check to ensure all terminals and connectors are secure and tight.
HEAT DISPERSAL
The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is not a malfunction. However,
if the inverter gets too hot while working, it will turn off by itself. Position the
inverter where air flows freely around it to allow the heat to disperse. The inverter's
thermal protection prevents it from operating when its temperature exceeds 130ºF
± 10ºF.
