PINV1 PINV2 PINV3 OWNER’S MANUAL POWER INVERTER PINV1 150WATT PINV2 300WATT PINV3 400WATT www.pyleaudio.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the PYLE View DC to AC Power Inverter. The PINV1/PINV2/PINV3 will deliver an efficient power to a wide variety of household AC products or electronic appliance reliably from the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle or boat, or directly from a 12 Volt battery to serve such as most TVs, VCRs, Play Stations, Work Lights, Soldering Irons, etc. Please pay your special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements.
FEATURES PINV1 PINV2 / PINV3 1. AC OUTLET 2. ON/OFF SWITCH 3. POWER ON LED 4. PROTECTION LED 5. LIGHTER PLUG 1. AC OUTLET 2. ON/OFF SWITCH 3. POWER ON LED 4. PROTECTION LED 5.
OPERATION - CAUTION : DO NOT USE THIS INVERTER WITH THE FOLLOWING: • Small battery operated appliances such as RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHTS, SOME RECHARGEABLE SHAVERS and NIGHT LIGHTS that are plugged directly into as RECEPTACLE TO RECHARGE • BATTERY CHARGERS used with certain power tool battery packs. These chargers will have a WARNING LABEL stating that DANGEROUS VOLTAGE ARE PRESENT AT THE CHARGERS BATTERY TERMINALS. -WARNING: Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an Energy Hazard.
-The LED indicators A. GREEN : It indicates the inverter is power on, the cooling fan (PINV2 / PINV3) is also activated, and AC power will be delivered to the AC outlet. B. RED : It indicates the inverter shutdown caused by low voltage, overload, or excessive temperature. -The ON/OFF switch It enables output AC power at the AC outlet when switched ON. It also acts as a manual reset for overload, low battery voltage and overheat fault conditions.
BATTERY OPERATING TIME The operating time of battery will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the particular AC load. The operating time of two to three hours can be expected with a 100 to 150 Watt load; the operating time of 1 hour or more can be expected with a 300 Watt load. The vehicle batteries are not intended for constant deep discharge, they are designed to provide brief periods of very high current needed for engine starting.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM A: NO AC POWER OUTPUT, THE RED LED LIGHTS. POSSIBLE CAUSES SUGGESTION The connected AC products are rated at more than 150 Watts (PINV1) , 300 Watts (PINV2) or 400 Watts (PINV3), the overload shutdown occurred. Use the product with a total power rating less than 150 Watts (PINV1) , 300 Watts (PINV2) and 400 Watts (PINV3) .
SYMPTOM C: THE LOW OUTPUT OF INVERTER IS MEASURED POSSIBLE CAUSES SUGGESTION Battery voltage is too low below 10V DC Recharge battery The inverter is overload Reduce load to 150 Watts (PINV1) , 300 Watts (PINV2) and 400 Watts (PINV3) maximum to maintain regulation. SYMPTOM D: THE LOW BATTERY IS MEASURED POSSIBLE CAUSES SUGGESTION The poor battery condition Recharge battery Inadequate power of excessive voltage drop Check condition of battery clips and terminals.
