NTRODUCTION
Thank you fo r purchasin g the Pyle view Inverte r . The Pyl e view Inve rter will p ower a wide variety of
household or electronic appliance reliably fro m the 12V v olt in your vehicle or boat ,or d irectly fro m a
12volt batte ry to serve . Such as laptop compu ters, digit al /video c amera , Mp3 player ,ce ll phones
and more .
Please pay y our special attention to all CAUTI ON and WARNI NG statemen ts. Imprope r use of th is
inverter can cause pers onnel injur y, property da mage
-WARNING
•Shock Hazar d. Keep awa y from chil dren.
•The PNVS4 Generates t he same pot entially let hal AC power as normal h ousehold wa ll outlet. Tr eat
it with the same respec t that You would do to any AC outlet.
•The PNVS4 i s designed for indoor use only and not recomm ended for u se with ind uctive load s,
such as flor escent lamp s, compress ors & pumps.
•Ensure to m aintain at least 2-inc h (5cm) air space on al l sides of this invert er, as its ho using may
became uncom fortably wa rm, reachin g 140 F (60 C) under ex tended high power.
•Disconnect power to th e inverter when it is n ot in use.
•Do not expo se this inv erter to wa ter, rain, sno w or spray.
•Do not inse rt foreign objects int o this inver ter’s AC out lets.
•Do not leav e this inve rter or any device oper ating unatt ended, to a void proper ty damage p otentially.
•Do not use or place th is inverter near flamma ble materia ls or any p laces, whic h accumulat e
flammable fu mes.
•Do not conn ect this in verter to p ower utility AC distribut ion wiring under any c ircumstance .
•Check the i nput and ou tput connec tors of this inverter a re tight re gularly. The lo ose connect ions can
generate har mful heat a nd /of dama ge the inver ter or powe r source.
-CAUTION
•Do not conn ect any AC pr oduct to thi s inverter, w hose neutra l conductor is connect ed to groun d.
•Do not expo se this inv erter tempe rature in ex cess of 100 F(40 C).
•This invert er must be connected o nly to batte ries with a normal out put voltage of 12 Volts. This unit
will not ope rate from a 6-Volt batter y and will be damaged if it is co nnected to a 24-Volt bat tery.
OPERATION
-CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS INVERTER WI TH THE FOLL OWING：
•Small batte ry operated appliances such as REC HARGEABLE F LASHLIGHTS, SOME RECH ARGEABLE SHAVERS an d NIGHT LIGH TS that are plugged di rectly into as RECEPTACLE TO
RECHARGE.
•BATTERY CHARGES used with c ertain powe r tool batt ery packs. T hese charge rs will hav e a
WARNING LABEL s tating that DANGEROUS VOLTAGE ARE PRESENT AT THE CHARGERS
BATTERY TERMINALS .
-WARNING:
Batteries co ntain corro sive materi als and pres ent an Ener gy Hazard. To prevent irrit ation and b urns,
wear protect ive wear an d clothing, and take sp ecial care to ensure n o metal too ls or perso nal objects
contact the battery ter minals.
Using the i nverter
A .Plug the Pyle view inve rter into y our vehicle ’s lighter s ocket. If t he socket i s too large , adjust th e
negative con nectors usi ng the slid e control to ensure a s nug fit. Th e (green) LE D will ligh t up.
B. Plug an AC product int o the three- prong AC rece ptacle and turn it on. Ensure you r product d raws
150watts or less of con tinuous AC pow er. To avoid disch arging the vehicle bat tery, always r emove
the inverter from the l ighter sock et when not in use.
-The LED i ndicators
A. GREEN: It indicates the inverte r is power o n,
B. B. GREEN FAILS TO LIGHT: It indicates t he inverter shutdown ca used by low voltage, o verload,
or excessive temperatur e.
CAUTION:
•Do not conn ect to AC DIS TRIBUTION WI RING. The i nverter is d esigned for connection directly t o
standard ele ctrical and electronic equipment.
•Do not conn ect the inv erter to ho usehold or R V AC distribut ion wiring.
•Do not conn ect the inv erter to an y AC load circ uit in whic h the neutr al conducto r is connec ted to
ground (eart h) or to th e negative of DC (batte ry) source.
BATTERY OPERATING T IME
The vehicle batteries a re not inte nded for con stant deep discharge, they are de signed to p rovide
brief period s of very h igh current needed for engine star ting. It is strongly r ecommended to start th e
vehicle ever y hour or t wo to recha rge battery before its capacity dr ops too low. Operating t he
inverter fro m a vehicle battery un til the low voltage shu tdown will shorten the battery’s l ife.
The inverter can operat e whether o r not the ve hicle’s eng ine is runn ing, but the normal vol tage drop
that occurs during star ting may tr igger the in verter’s l ow voltage shutdown fe ature.
The use of a deep disch arge batter y is strongl y advised f or longer o perating ti mes. Its ca pacity
should be se lected base d on the de sired operat ing time.
PROTECTION
SYMPTOMS PROTEC TION
The low volt age battery (bel0w DC 10V) The unit auto s hutdown.
The Green LED turns off.
The high inp ut voltage (over DC 15 .6V) The unit auto shutdown
The overload The Green L ED turns of f
The overheat
Troubleshoot ing
SYMPTOM A: NO AC POWER OUT PUT , THE GRE EN TURNS OFF
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SUGGESTION
AC product connected is r ated at more than
150
watts; overload shutdown occurs
Use product with a power r ating of less than
150
watts
Peak power has caused overload shutdown even
though AC product connected is rated at less than
150 watts
Product exceeds inverter’s surge capability. Use a
product with peak power of less than 300W
Lighter socket or 12 volt outlet may require ignition
to be switched on
Turn ignition key to accessory position
Poor contact with lighter socket or 12 volt outlet
Press inverter firmly into t he lighter socket. Make
sure socket is clean.
Vehicle battery is discharged
Recharge battery
