- 1 Cable with connection terminals red/black
- 1 Cable with 12 V vehicle plug
- 1 40 A automotive flat fuse
- This operating manual
For continuous operation of devices via the power
inverter the vehicle socket must supply a voltage
between 11 - 15,5 V . The voltage source of
the vehicle socket can be perhaps an automotive
battery or a regulated DC voltage like a transformeraccumulator station. Before connecting the power
inverter check to see that the voltage source is supplying
sufficient power for operation. The required power
needed for operation can be calculated as follows:
Example
The voltage source should provide for a continuous
load of 300 W and also for a minimum of 30,5 A.
Note:
12 V vehicle power sockets supply max. 15 A,
therefore the voltage transformer must be connected directly to the terminals of a car battery
with the clamps. Only in this way can 300 W
continuous power be achieved.
Attention!
Never connect the power inverter to a 24 V
supply system. Otherwise the device will be
damaged. The device can only be connected to
a voltage source with a rated voltage of 12 V.
- 4 -
Setup
• The power inverter should be positioned on an
even, flat surface. Make sure that there is 1 cm
free space remaining all around the power inverter
for air circulation.
• A distance of 50 cm must be maintained behind
the fan's
ventilation slots.
q
In vehicle operation
If you are operating the power inverter in a vehicle
make sure that the installation is not a hindrance
when driving the vehicle.
For this, install cables so that they do not come into
contact with moveable parts in the vehicles interior
and they do not obstruct the view.
Note:
The power inverter can also be operated when
the engine is switched off. However be aware
that the power inverter possibly may not function during an engine startup.
Connection to a voltage source
Attention!
Before connecting the power inverter to a voltage source make sure that the on/off switch
on the device is in the position 0.

Device operation information
General notes
Usually on the device's rating plate you can find
information regarding the power consumption in
amperes (A) or the wattage (W).
Before operation make sure that the maximum power
consumption does not exceed 1,3 A and the maximum continuous load is not more than 300 W.
• Loads with a high internal resistance operate
very well with the power inverter, on the other
hand, loads with a low internal resistance, for
example heating and cooking devices have a
power consumption in watts that is too high.
Attention!
Do not switch on the load/device to be
operated yet!

• Inductive loads, for example, televisions or stereo
systems (devices with an inductor or a transformer)
often require a much greater switch on current
than resistance loads with the same specified
wattage. When switching on, television sets
demand much more power than that indicated
on the rating plate. Therefore it may be necessary
to switch the power inverter on and off several
times in order to switch the television set on.
• In the event of uncertainty, please consult the
manufacturer of the connected appliance.
Low battery signal
• When the battery runs low (under 11 V) a continuous signal tone sounds to indicate that the battery needs to be charged. The operation

Handling general failures
Low battery voltage signal sounds
continually
Television sets
• The power inverter is shielded and puts out a
filtered sine wave.
With the reception of, for example, very weak
television stations it can, nevertheless, result in
interferences and/or image breakdown.
• In this case position the power inverter as far
away as possible from the television, antenna
cable and antenna.
• Reposition the power inverter, television, antenna
cable and antenna until reception improves.
• If possible use a high quality, shielded antenna
cable.
Audio systems
• Some audio/video systems issue a buzzing tone
through the speaker when they are being operated
via the power inverter. The reason for this is that
these devices can not filter the modified sine
wave of the power inverter and this is not a
defect in the power inverter.
Troubleshooting
Low output voltage
Possible cause and remedy:
• The power inverter is overloaded. Reduce the
load until you no longer exceed the maximum
load as specified in the technical data.
• The input voltage is below 11 V. Maintain the input voltage of the power inverter above 11 V
to keep the output voltage constant.
Possible cause and remedy:
• The battery is defective. Replace the battery.
• Insufficient voltage or power supply. Check the
condition of the in vehicle receptacle and the
12 V vehicle plug and if necessary clean these.
C
No output power
Possible cause and remedy:
• The power inverter is not fully warmed up.
Switch the power inverter on and off again until
the device attached to the power inverter is
supplied with power. Repeat this process in order
to switch the device on.
• The ignition must be switched on for the in vehicle
receptacle to be supplied with power. Switch the
ignition on and/or in the position I.
• The power inverter is overloaded. Reduce the
load until you no longer exceed the maximum
load as specified in the technical data.
• The power inverter is overheated. Wait until the
device has cooled down. Ensure that there is
sufficient ventilation space. Make sure that the
connected load does not continually exceed the
maximum load, in order to avoid overheating
again.
• The device fuse is burnt out. Consult the service
department in order to put the device back into
working condition. Make sure that the power inverter is connected to the power supply with the
correct polarity.
• The cable fuse is burnt out. Change the cable
fuse as described in the chapter "Changing the
cable fuse".
Make sure that the power inverter is connected
to the power supply with the correct polarity.
