AC Anywhere – Instructions and Information:

Belkin Components manufactures a line of DC to AC Inverters with 140 and
300-Watt capacities. These Inverters offer advanced technology, dependable
operation and will provide years of reliable service when used in accordance
with our operating instructions.
Belkin’s Inverters convert low voltage, direct (DC) current to 240 volts
alternating (AC) household current. Depending on the model and its rated
capacity, Belkin Inverters draw power either from standard 12-volt automobile
and marine batteries, or from portable, high-power 12-volt sources.
The Belkin inverter can not be used with 24 volts (trucks) battery power.

Important Information:

This manual will provide you with directions for the safe and efficient
operation of your Belkin 140-Watt, or 300-Watt Inverter. Read the manual
carefully before using your new Belkin Inverter and keep the manual on file
for future reference.

Note:

• Your Belkin Inverter is designed to operate from a 12-volt power source
only. Never attempt to connect your Inverter to any other power source
including any AC power sources.

• 240 volts of current can be lethal. Improper use of your Belkin Inverter may
result in property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Getting Off to a Good Start:

In order to ensure that the capacity of your Belkin Inverter is sufficient to
meet the required start up load, you must first determine the power
consumption of the equipment or appliance you plan to operate.

Power consumption is rated either in wattage or in amperes. Information
regarding the required “watts” or “amps” is generally printed on most
appliances or equipment. If the power consumption is rated in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 240 volts(AC voltage) to determine the
comparable wattage rating. As a general rule, you can determine the required
start-up load by multiplying the wattage rating by 20.

Don’t Push It:

Although your Belkin Inverter has the capacity to provide power output
equal to approximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a very brief
period, it is designed to operate equipment with start-up load wattage
ratings no higher than its own maximum continuous wattage rating.

Troubleshooting:

Problem:

Equipment has a high start-up surge.

Automotive system
requires ignition to be on.

Battery voltage below 10 volts.
Equipment being operated

draws too much power.
Inverter is too hot

(thermal shutdown mode).

Inverter fuse is blown.

Poor or weak battery condition.
Inadequate power being delivered to

the Inverter or excessive voltage drop.

Solution:

Turn Inverter power switch OFF (O)
and then ON (I) again until the
Inverter powers your device. Repeat as
necessary to get your device running.

Turn ignition key to accessory position.

Recharge or replace battery.
Use a higher capacity Inverter

or do not use this equipment.
Allow Inverter to cool. Check for

adequate ventilation. Reduce the load
on the Inverter to rated continuous
power output.

Replace fuse according to guidelines
in “Don’t Blow a Fuse” section of this
manual. Make sure that the Inverter
is connected to power source with
correct polarity.

Replace battery.
Check condition of cigarette lighter

plug and socket. Clean or replace
as necessary.

Warning:

• Improper use of this inverter can cause personnel injury, property damage,

and or loss of life.

• To avoid potential property damage, do not leave this inverter or any device

operating unattended in vehicle.

• Disconnect power to the inverter when it is not in use.

• Do not use or place this inverter near flammable materials or any locations,

which accumulate flammable fumes.

• If the external flexible cable or cord of this power inverter is damaged, the

manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person shall replace
it in order to avoid a hazard.

• Regularly check that the input and output connections are tight. Loose

connections can generate harmful heat and/or damage the inverter or
power source.

• This product is not recommended for use with inductive loads, such as

florescent lamps, compressors & pumps. Otherwise, permanent damage may
result.

• This is not a toy. Keep away from reach of children.
