User Manual

Operation

Before using the power inverter determine your equipment’s total watts!

 Do not connect more watt than the Output Power (maximum continuous watt) of the
device ( see technical specifications). See below table for typical equipment running
times and for important notes concerning the limitations of car’s electrical systems.

 Watt ratings are usually listed in equipment manuals or on nameplates. If your equipment
is rated in Amp, multiply that number times AC utility voltage to determine watts.
(mathematic example: a drill requires 1.5A  1.5A x 230Volt = 345Watt.  This is way to
much to work with a drill. Now follow these steps:

Step 1: Plug the device into the cigarette lighter socket / accessory outlet of your car.
Step 2: Turn on the power switch of the device.
Step 3: Plug equipment into the Schuko port of the device.
Note: Power switch can be off when you only use the USB output ports.

Typical running times before battery recharge

Although you can operate your device with your car’s engine off. Best results are usually
achieved with the car’s engine running. Since the device only converts electrical energy
and does not produce it, it’s performance is relative to the condition of the car’s electrical
system (battery, alternator and wiring). If other electric charges (e.g. air conditioner, heater,
lights, etc.) using power also, you may get less running time.

Cars electrical system limitations

Due to the limitations of certain cars DC 12V cigarette lighter socket / accessory outlet
electrical systems, you may not be able to continuously run a full elctric charge from the
device. If you regularly blow fuses, it may indicate your car is not adequately wired to
support the device as it is designed. In this case, consult car manufacturer
recommendations for rewiring from the fuse block or battery with appropriate wiring (10–12
gauge) and fusing (at least 40A).

Maintenance

This device requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable parts (except for
replaceable DC fuses, where applicable). Maximum output power (continuous or peak) only
available when car’s battery is properly charged. Run car ’s engine often to maintain proper
charge. Peak output power is instantaneous. Replace fuse only with a fuse of equal
amperage rating. Do not use higher-rated fuses.
