USE OF THE PS5000M continued
If this occurs, the inverter will shut down and then reset itself. Do not repeatedly
attempt to use a device with the inverter if it continues to trigger the shutdown
circuit as this could damage the inverter.
The PS5000M has one 110V AC outlet. Be sure that the continuous load does
not exceed 320 watts. Operating multiple appliances will, naturally, decrease
battery run-time as more power will be consumed.
Take care not to block the cooling vents on the front and back of the PS5000M
when using the inverter (These vents are illustrated in gure 4 on page 8 as
location W). Blocking these vents could cause the unit to overheat, which may
cause personal injury and/or damage to appliances and the PS5000M.
The output of the PS5000M is non-sinusoidal. Some sensitive equipment may
be damaged by the inverter’s modied sine wave output or may not operate
correctly. If you are uncertain that non-sinusoidal power will cause damage
to a device, check with the device’s manufacturer before proceeding.
These devices may include but are not limited to:
• Electronics that modulate RF signals on the AC line;
• Speed controllers in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances,
and other motors;
• Some chargers for re-chargeable batteries
• Metal Halide lights
Operating 12V DC appliances
To power a 12V DC appliance with your PS5000M please follow these steps:
• Plug in appliance to the 12V outlet
• Turn on appliance
• After use is completed, turn off appliance, unplug appliance from the unit
• Re-charge the PS5000M as soon after use as possible
Notes:
The 12V DC outlet is always on. No other switches need to be on to use
this outlet.
The combined load should not exceed 15 Amps. Outlet will switch off
automatically if overloaded.
