Operation
WARNING: Do not ground any AC device to a vehicle chassis. To do so may cause the body of
the vehicle to be energised with potentially dangerous mains current in the event of a fault.
Connecting a mains device
IMPORTANT: Do not connect loads greater than the rated maximum continuous power output of the
inverter (see 'Specification').
1. Before connecting any appliance to the inverter, switch the ON/OFF Switch (3) to the ON position.
2. Wait for the Power Indicator Light (1) to illuminate. This may take a few seconds.
3. Connect your AC device to the 230V Universal Mains Socket (5).
4. When you have finished powering a mains device with the inverter, turn the ON/OFF Switch
to OFF.
Note: The inverter consumes power when turned on. See 'Specification' for the inverter power
consumption without load. It is possible for the inverter to drain a battery and prevent starting
of a vehicle if left on, even without a load.
Connecting a device via USB
The USB Socket (4) provides a maximum of 2.1A current. If the device can be charged via USB or
mains, using the USB connection is recommended as it will charge more efficiently.
Protection features
The inverter is fitted with features that may operate during use for safety and to minimise damage to
the device. They are designed as failsafe measures rather than as features to rely on in general use.
When a protection feature operates, it indicates that there is a fault with the set-up. Do not use the
inverter again until the fault has been resolved.
Input over voltage shutdown
The inverter will switch OFF if the input DC voltage reaches or exceeds 16V. Where the inverter is
installed in a vehicle, an input over voltage shutdown may indicate a poorly regulated electrical
system.
Input low voltage shutdown
The inverter will switch OFF if the DC voltage is approximately 10V. This prevents damage to devices
due to insufficient AC voltage. Where the inverter is installed in a vehicle, 10V may not be sufficient to
start the engine. The inverter will audibly indicate low voltage from approximately 10V to 11V before
shutting down when the voltage is between 10V and 9V.
Output overload shutdown
The inverter will switch off if the current requirements of the AC device or devices connected are too
high for the inverter, or if the peak starting requirements are within the inverter capacity, but last
beyond the peak duration allowed (see 'Specification').
Output short circuit protection
If there is a short circuit in the AC connections the inverter will shut off. The internal fuses of the
inverter may be blown and will need replacement at an authorised service centre.
Overheating shutdown
The inverter will shut off if the internal temperature of the inverter reaches or exceeds 55°C. This
may be due to inadequate ventilation, incorrect installation, poor device compatibility, high ambient
temperature or the inverter being used at maximum capacity for extended periods.
Note: The inverter's built-in fan is temperature-controlled to reduce current demands so the
operation speed may vary.

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: Do not open the inverter. This device contains no user-serviceable parts, and some
components may retain a dangerous high charge level even when disconnected from power.
Replacing the fuse
IMPORTANT: Ensure the issue that caused the fuse to blow has been resolved before replacing it.
1. To replace the 32V Fuse (17), first ensure the inverter is switched OFF and disconnected.
2. Switch OFF and disconnect any 230V device from the inverter.
WARNING: Some components may retain a dangerous high charge level even when disconnected
from power. Check that the Power Indicator Light (1) is not lit and wait at least 10 seconds for the
power to fully dissipate before opening the Fuse Cover (9).
3. Unscrew the Fuse Cover Screws (10).
4. Remove the Fuse Cover and blown fuse.
5. Replace with a fuse bearing the same rated values.
6. Replace the Fuse Cover and screws.
Cleaning
• Keep your inverter clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth. If
available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes.
• Do not use alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents.
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Storage
• Store this product carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children.

Disposal
• Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of electrical equipment that is no longer
functional and is not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), with
household waste.
