User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Wagan Tech 180 Watt Pure Sine Wave DC to
AC Power Inverter. It delivers a true sine wave AC identical to that of commercial
power. Use this inverter to power AC appliances in your vehicle. Pure Sine Wave
AC means that your sensitive electronics such as audio/video systems, computers
and communications equipment will operate properly. Furthermore, appliances with
motors operate cooler, quieter and more efficiently when they are powered by sine
wave AC.
This inverter is powered from 12 volts DC and it will continuously deliver 180
watts (360 Watts momentary peak) AC power at 120 Volts, 60 Hz. Superior
surge capability of 360 watts allows the inverter to start most difficult motorized
appliances. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits run cooler and are more
reliable than competing units.
It also operates at high efficiency (up to 90%) that results in long run time and
extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output.
A USB Power Port provides a convenient way to power USB appliances or charge
cell phones, PDAs and personal audio-video devices.
This Wagan 180 watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an indispensable addition to your
compliment of mobile power equipment. With minimal care and proper treatment it
will provide years of reliable service.
Read and understand this manual before installing and operating this inverter. Keep
this manual for future use.

Front Pane
The Front Panel view shows the inverter’s ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC Outlet
and USB Power Port.
• ON/OFF Switch — This switch controls AC output of the inverter.
• Operating LED (Green) — When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating
normally.
• FAULT LED (Red) — This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down
because of: Excessive Temperature, Overload, Under Voltage or Over
voltage.
Immediately turn off all AC appliances if the FAULT LED is lit. Allow the
inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents are not
l
blocked.

If an inverter “shutdown” was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may
excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem.
• AC Outlet — This outlet can supply up to 1.5 Amps at 120V AC 60 Hz
• USB Power Port — This power port can supply 5 volts at 500 mA for
charging or powering cell phones, PDA’s, GPS and other small electronic
devices.
• Audible Alarm (internal to the inverter) — When the Audible Alarm makes
a buzzing sound, the inverter senses a low battery condition. The user
should reduce the AC load, charge the battery, and check the DC cable for
excessive losses.
