User manual PYLE PINV3

[. . . ] Improper use of this inverter can cause personnel injury, property damage, and or loss of life. -WARNING · Shock Hazard. · The PINV1 / PINV2 / PINV3 Generates the same potentially lethal AC power as normal household wall outlet. · The PINVI / PINV2 / PINV3 is designed for indoor use only and not recommended for use with inductive loads, such as florescent lamps, compressors & pumps. · Ensure to maintain at least 2-inch (5cm) air space on all sides of this inverter, as its housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 140°F (60°C) under extended high power. [. . . ] To obtain the power source must deliver (in amperes), you can divide the power consumption of the load (in watt) by 12 (the input voltage). For example, the load is rated at 150 Watts, the power source must be able to deliver: (150/12)=12. 5 Amp. The inverter is equipped with a heavy duty DC lighter plug that fits standard vehicle cigarette lighter and DC power outlets. When continuously powering loads rated higher than 150 Watts, connect the inverter directly to a 12 Volt battery, please use the provided battery clip cables (PINV2/ PINV3) to connect the inverter directly to the 12 Volt power source. the PINV1 is not suitable for operating at power requirement are over than 150 Watts. While using the battery clip cable of PINV2 /PINV3, please follow these steps: A. Connect the BLACK cable to the black post (-) and RED cable to the red post (+) on the rear of the PINV2/PINV3. Then connect the BLACK battery chip to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal and RED battery chip to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery. The reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Be sure to fasten all connections between battery chips and terminals. 3 -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. 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. Reset occurs by switching OFF for 5 seconds after automatic shout down then back ON again. This manual reset feature prevents unexpected or hazardous restarting of connected AC loads. -The AC outlet Single and dual AC outlets are provided on one end of the PINV1, PINV2 and PINV3, make sure of the power consumption required before plug in: A. When operated from a vehicle cigarette lighter (PINV1/PINV2/PINV3) A consumption of 150 Watts or less for PINV1, and any combination of 115 Volt AC products with a total power consumption of 150 Watts or less for PINV2 / PINV3. When operated from the directly connection to a 12 Volt battery (PINV2 / PINV3) Any combination of 115 Volt AC products with a total power consumption of 300 Watts or less for PINV2 / PINV3 CAUTION: · Do not connect to AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING. The inverter is designed for connection directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment. · Do not connect the inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. · Do not connect the inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of DC (battery) source. -The fuse replacement If the inverter is overload and the spade type fuse is blown, open the fuse replacement cover at the rear of inverter and replace the blown fuse with a new spade type fuse, 20A for PINV1, 35A for PINV2 and 30A X 2 for PINV3. Determine the cause of the short circuiting before restarting the inverter. 4 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 fuse of cigarette lighter or 12 Volt outlet is blown The fuse of inverter is blown SUGGESTION Press plug into socket firmly. Check to make sure the inverter is connected to a power source with correct voltage and polarity. The inverter needs repairment if the probable damage has occurred. The inverter has been connected with reverse DC input polarity. 6 SYMPTOM C: THE LOW OUTPUT OF INVERTER IS MEASURED POSSIBLE CAUSES Battery voltage is too low below 10V DC The inverter is overload SUGGESTION Recharge battery 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 The poor battery condition Inadequate power of excessive voltage drop SUGGESTION Recharge battery Check condition of battery clips and terminals. Clean or replace as necessary 7 SPECIFICATIONS AC output voltage (nominal) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 115 Volts AC DC input voltage range. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10-15 Volts DC Maximum Continuous AC output power.
