Principles of Operation

DC/AC Inverter and AC Power Point

The 110 volts AC created by the inverter measures differently than a conventional AC outlet (utility-generated) with some multi-meters. The power point automatically shuts off if the load exceeds 150 watts, which prevents damage to the inverter or load. The inverter supplies 110 volts AC power only when the ignition is ON. The DC/AC inverter outlet (AC power point) is equipped with a green LED that indicates the system status. The green LED illuminates continuously when the key is ON and the system is operating normally. It flashes constantly if the key is ON and a fault is detected. Short circuits, overloads or overheating of the inverter cause the green LED to flash and the power to be cut off to the outlet. If the LED is flashing, the problem must be corrected (short circuit or excessive load). If the inverter is overheated, it must be allowed time to cool off (without the load connected). Refer to the Owner's Literature for a list of appropriate electrical loads/devices that can be used.
