before installing your new TruePower Inverter.
Safety & Precautions
1
General Safety Instructions
Before installing and using your new inverter, read all appropriate sections of this
guide and any cautionary markings on the inverter, batteries and on your appliances.
1. CAUTION: Do not operate the inverter if the carton or unit has significant damage
from being dropped or crushed, received a direct hit of force or is otherwise damaged.
2. CAUTION: Do not dismantle the inverter. Call the factory directly when service or
repair is required. Incorrect assembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power
from the inverter prior to any maintenance or cleaning.
4. CAUTION: Protect the inverter from rain, snow water and spray.
5. CAUTION: Internal inverter components remain charged after power is disconnected.
6. CAUTION: As a precaution - Keep Children away from the inverter and its components!
The same potentially hazardous or lethal AC power that is found in a normal household
110AC power outlet can be found in the TruePower inverter.
7. CAUTION: Under no circumstance should the user connect live AC (household) power
to the inverter’s AC receptacles. The inverter will become damaged even if it is switched
off. This unit can only take 12V DC battery power and invert it to 110V AC household
power. This unit is not a battery charger!
8. CAUTION: For an ABYC E-11 compliant installation, this Inverter must be installed
with an inline fuse in the positive (+) cable on the DC side of the inverter (between the
battery and the inverter) at a distance of seven inches from the battery connection
(Please see Specifications Table in this Manual for correct sizing).
Notes
Personal Safety Precautions
1. Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when installing power inverters or working near lead acid batteries.
2. Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while
working on or with batteries. Have plenty of soap and water nearby in case of battery
acid comes in contact with skin, clothing or eyes.
3. If battery acid comes in contact with skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters the eye (s) flood eye (s) with running water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
4. Never smoke or allow a spark or a flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.

Notes
Personal Safety Precautions Continued
5. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It may
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion.
6. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches and
jewelry when working near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit high enough
to weld a ring or any metal, causing serious burns.
7. Never charge or invert power from a frozen battery.
*WARNING: Restrictions on Use- The TruePower inverter shall not be used in connection
with life support systems or other medical equipment devices.
Preparing for Installation
The 200 and 400 watt models can be used with the cigarette lighter adapter, but
they may not be able to product their full power potential, because they are restricted
by the cigarette adapter’s fuse in your vehicle. Read this entire installation section
if you plan a hardwire installation from beginning to end.
WARNING: This devise is not Ignition Protected
Avoid serious injury or death from or explosion. Do not install in compartments containing
gasoline fueled engines or gasoline tank, or in areas where ignition protected equipment
is required.
WARNING: Do not mount the inverter above or below your batteries.
WARNING: Electrical shock and fire hazards
On Board Solutions, a ProMariner Company recommends all wiring be done by qualified
personnel. Disconnect all AC and DC power sources to prevent accidental shock.
Disable and secure all AC and DC disconnect devices and automatic generator starting
devices. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all the applicable
installation codes and regulations.
WARNING: Installation Precaution
The TruePower inverter should be mounted on a flat horizontal surface or a vertical
surface with the front panel and label facing the user. In no case should the front or
rear endcaps be facing in an upward or downward position. This allows proper ventilation
and product safety of the unit as intended by design.
WARNING: Fire Hazard
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install this equipment in a
compartment with limited airflow; Overheating may result.
