voltage shut off will affect the life of the battery. If you are operating electrical
products for extended periods of time, you should consider connecting the unit
to a separate deep discharge battery.
Should a defective battery charging system cause the battery voltage to rise to
the range of 15.0V~16.0VDC, the inverter automatically shuts down; and the
red LED lights.
Caution
!
Although the inverter incorporates protection against over-voltage, it may
still be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 volts.
If an AC product rated higher than 2000W (or which draws excessive surge
power) is connected, the inverter will shut down. The red LED light will light.
The unit will shut down automatically if the inverter exceeds a safe operating
temperature due to insufficient ventilation or a high-temperature environment;
and the red LED indicator lights.
The cooling fan is designed with thermo-controlled technology.
Caution
!
Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its
capacity and the power level drawn by the particular AC load. With a typical
vehicle battery and a 2000-watt load, an operating time of 1 hour or more can
be expected.
When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly recommended to
start the vehicle every hour to recharge the battery before its capacity drops too
low. The inverter can operate while the engine is running, but the normal
voltage drop that occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the inverter’s
low voltage shutdown feature.
Caution
!
Because the power inverter draws less than 1A with its turning on and with no
AC product connected, it has minimal impact on battery operating times.
