The DC-to-DC converter stage uses modern high frequency power conversion

OPERATING TIPS
The
Power Force 50™
following criteria:
DRY- Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inver ter.
COOL - Ambient air temperature should be between -20°C and 40°C - ideally
between 15°C and 25°C (60 - 80°F). Do not place the inverter on or near a
heating vent or any piece of equipment which is generating heat above room
temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, if at all possible.
VENTIL AT ED - Keep the area surrounding the
free air circulation around the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter
during operation. The unit will shut down if the internal temperature exceeds 90°C.
Restart the unit once it cools down sufficiently.
SAFE - Do not use the
locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases.

Rated Versus Ac t ual Cur rent Dra w of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment
have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the
power consumption of the item to be operated is below 50 watts. If the power
consumption is rated in amps, simply multiply by the AC volts (110) to determine
the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the
run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters) which require far more
wattage than the
loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive
loads of the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some TVs, may
require 2 to 6 times their wattage rating to start up. The most demanding in this
category are those that start under load, such as compressors and pumps. Testing
is the only definitive way to determine whether a specific load can be started and
how long it can run. For safety reasons, the unit will simply shut down if it is
overloaded. To restar t the unit after a shutdown due to overloading, momentarily
turn off the power to the unit.

Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” emit a buzzing sound from
their speakers when operated from the
