[. . . ] Example: If a load is rated at 100 watts, the power source must be able to deliver: 100 ÷ 10 = 10 amperes CAUTION: The ADC700 must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate from a 6-volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24-volt battery. 6 CONNECTION TO POWER SOURCE The ADC700 comes with positive and negative wires and clamps (Red = +, Black = -) which are to be connected directly to the vehicle battery. CAUTION: Reverse polarity connection will result in damage to the Inverter. If the inverter is connected to the incorrect polarity, the fuse will be blown. If the unit does not function after replacement of the fuse, the unit must be returned to Audiovox for repair. Repair expenses for this type of damage are not covered by your warranty. (The majority of modern automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground. CONNECTION TO LOAD The ADC700 is equipped with a standard AC household-type receptacle. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle. The green LED indicator will illuminate to indicate that the unit is functioning. Make sure the load requirements of your equipment are within the parameters of the ADC700 output. If an audible alarm sounds, refer to sections 2, 3 or 4 of this manual for probable causes. 7 DO NOT CONNECT TO AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING The ADC700 is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source. Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial 10 minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be used with this inverter. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The ADC700 is easily capable of running most chargers and transformers. FUSE REPLACEMENT If the ADC700 is overloaded and the spade type fuse (s) (35A) is blown, flip up the fuse (s) replacement cover on the back of the ADC700 and replace the blown fuse (s) with a new spade type, 35 Amp fuse. Determine the cause of the short before restarting your ADC700 again. 8 PLACEMENT OF THE ADC700 For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface, such as a vehicle seat or floor. A power cord measuring 3 feet (1. 0 meter) has been provided for easy positioning of the inverter. ADC700 should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY: Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the ADC700 inverter. [. . . ] Be sure the to a power source with correct voltage and polarity. Inverter fuse blown. PROBLEM: LOW OUTPUT VOLTAGE Possible Causes Using average reading voltmeter. Keep input voltage above 10. 4 volts to maintain regulation. Input voltage below 10. 4 volts. 14 PROBLEM: LOW BATTERY ALARM SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY Possible Causes Poor battery condition. Inadequate power or excessive voltage Suggested Solution Replace battery Clean battery terminals and replace if necessary. 15 AUDIOVOX ADC700 POWER INVERTER PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Maximum Continuous Power . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
