5 Operating the Digital Inverter  
This section explains how to operate the Digital Inverter most  
efficiently.  
Operating Conditions and Guidelines  
This section describes normal operation as well as conditions that  
trigger an alarm or automatically shut down the Digital Inverter.  
Normal Operation When you connect the inverter to the vehicle’s  
lighter socket or directly to a 12 V battery and turn on the unit, the  
digital display will show input voltage, the input voltage LED  
illuminates and AC power is available at the outlets. You can now plug  
in your AC products and turn them on one at a time.  
Low Battery Alarm and Shutdown As the battery discharges, its  
voltage decreases. When the Digital Inverter senses that the voltage at  
its DC input has dropped to 11.0 V, it sounds an alarm, giving you time  
to shut down sensitive loads such as computers. If you ignore the alarm,  
and the DC input voltage drops below 10.5 V, the inverter shuts down  
all loads to save the battery from further discharge. The under-voltage  
error code ‘E01’ will show on the digital display.  
19  
 
High-input Voltage Shutdown If a defective battery charging system  
causes the battery voltage to rise to dangerously high levels, the Digital  
Inverter shuts down automatically. The over-voltage error code ‘E02’  
will show on the digital display.  
Overload Shutdown If you connect an AC load that is rated too high  
(see Table 3) or a load that draws excessive surge power, the Digital  
Inverter shuts down. The overload error code ‘E03’ will show on the  
digital display.  
Overheating Shutdown The Digital Inverter shuts down  
automatically if it exceeds its safe operating temperature. The  
overheating error code ‘E04’ will show on the digital display.  
Shutting the inverter off  
If you are going to disconnect the battery, turn the inverter off first.  
Turn the inverter off by holding the switch until the display turns  
off.  
20  
 
Operating normal loads  
The Digital Inverter is capable of continuously powering most 120 V  
AC products with the following power rating maximums:

1200 W  
The inverter’s AC (“modified sine wave”) output waveform is designed  
to function similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power. Most AC  
products correctly rated for the power rating maximums listed in Table 3  
or less will operate normally with the Digital Inverter.  
21  
 
Operating loads with high surge requirements  
The power, or wattage rating, of AC loads is the average amount of  
power they use. Some appliances consume more power than their power  
rating when they are first turned on. TVs, monitors, and electric motors  
are some products that have high surge requirements at start up. The  
Digital Inverter can supply momentary surge power that is higher than  
its maximum power rating. Some products rated less than power rating  
maximum for your inverter may exceed its surge capability and trigger  
an overload shutdown. If this problem occurs when attempting to  
operate several AC products at the same time, try first turning on the  
inverter with all AC products turned off, then one by one turn each on,  
starting with the high-surge product first.

6 Maintaining Battery Condition  
The battery operating time of the Digital Inverter depends on the charge  
level of the battery, battery capacity, and the amount of power drawn by  
the AC loads you are operating. With a typical vehicle battery, you can  
expect the following:

Here are some guidelines that will help to preserve your battery:  
Vehicle batteries are not designed for repeated deep-discharge  
cycles, and constantly recharging a vehicle’s battery will shorten its  
life. Therefore, when you are using a vehicle battery as a power  
source, start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery.  
The Digital Inverter will operate while the engine is running, but  
the voltage drop that occurs when the engine starts may trigger a  
low-voltage shutdown.  
Vehicle batteries are designed to provide brief periods of very high  
current needed for engine starting. They are not intended for  
constant deep discharge. Regularly operating the Digital Inverter  
from a vehicle battery until the low-voltage alarm sounds will  
shorten the life of the battery. Consider connecting the Digital  
Inverter to a separate deep discharge-type battery if you will be  
frequently running electrical products for extended periods of time.  
If you are not going to use the Digital Inverter for a few days, turn  
off the unit. The inverter draws 0.4 A or less when the unit is on and  
no load is connected, but it will eventually discharge the battery.  
25  
 
7 Troubleshooting  
This section will help you identify the source of most problems that can  
occur with the Digital Inverter.  
If you have a problem with the inverter, please review this section  
before contacting your dealer. If you are unable to solve a problem and  
need to contact service, please prepare for the call by writing down the  
following details:  
Inverter’s serial number

Where it is installed  
Appliances operating when the problem occurred  
A brief description of the problem  
26  
 
Common Problems  
WARNING: Electrical shock and burn hazard  
Do not disassemble the Digital Inverter. It does not contain any user-  
serviceable parts. Attempting to service the inverter yourself could result  
in an electrical shock or burn.  
Buzz in audio systems  
Some inexpensive stereo systems have inadequate internal power  
supply filtering and buzz slightly when powered by the Digital Inverter.  
The best solution is to use an audio system with a high-quality filter.  
Television interference  
The Digital Inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV  
signals. If TV signals are weak, you may see interference in the form of  
lines scrolling across the screen. Try one of these suggestions to  
minimize or eliminate the problem:  
Adjust the orientation of the Digital Inverter, television, antenna,  
and cables.  
Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna, and use  
shielded antenna cable where possible.  
Try a different TV. Different models vary considerably in their  
susceptibility to interference.
