Lights and Alarms
POWER Indicator (Green) This light will turn on when the
inverter is turned on and is operating normally. If this light goes
out, the 12v power is missing (possible blown fuse).
Fault Indicator (Red) Fault conditions include output overload,
output short circuit, low input voltage and over temperature of
the unit. This can happen if a device has a large turn on surge, if
an appliance (like a drill or saw) is stalled or if the inverter does
not have a supply of cool air.
Fuse Replacement - If you overload the power inverter, it is
possible that the external fuse might blow. Always determine the
cause of the fuse blowing and remedy the problem before using
the power inverter again.
How the Inverter Works
This power inverter has two electronic sections. The first section
converts 12V DC to approximately 160V DC using modern high
frequency conversion techniques that uses small lightweight
efficient transformers. The second section converts the 160V DC
to 115 VAC using high efficiency power MOSFET transistor
devices. The inverters generate a modified sine wave that works
with almost every product on the market.
CAUTION: Do not use the following products with an inverter
with a modified sine wave output.
 Small battery operated devices like razors, flashlights and night
lights that can be plugged directly into an AC outlet to recharge
 A few battery chargers for power tool battery packs that have
warnings about high voltage present on the battery terminals.
