4. Opsætning og installation
Valg af placering
Vælg en placering til inverteren, der er:
- Tørt og godt ventileret.
- Væk fra direkte sollys eller varmekilder.
- Secure and stable to prevent movement.
- Not near flammable materials or fumes.
Connecting to a 12V DC Power Source
The inverter can be connected using either the cigarette lighter cord (for loads up to 150W) or the direct-to-battery cables (for loads up to 400W).
- Using the Cigarette Lighter Cord:
- Sørg for, at inverterens strømafbryder er i OFF-positionen.
- Plug the cigarette lighter cord into the inverter's DC input port.
- Insert the cigarette lighter plug firmly into your vehicle's 12V accessory outlet.
- This method is suitable for low-power devices (e.g., charging phones, small electronics).
- Using Direct-to-Battery Cables:
- Sørg for, at inverterens strømafbryder er i OFF-positionen.
- Connect the red (positive) cable to the inverter's red (positive) terminal.
- Connect the black (negative) cable to the inverter's black (negative) terminal.
- Connect the other end of the red (positive) cable to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Connect the other end of the black (negative) cable to the negative (-) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Ensure all connections are secure and tight. This method is recommended for higher power applications.
Warning: Incorrect polarity connection will trigger reverse polarity protection and may damage the inverter or battery. Always connect positive to positive and negative to negative.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
- Tænder: After connecting the inverter to a 12V DC power source, press the power switch on the front panel to the ON position. The power indicator light should illuminate.
- Tilslutning af AC-enheder: Plug your 120V AC appliance(s) into the AC receptacles on the front of the inverter. Ensure the total wattage of all connected devices does not exceed 400W continuous.
- Brug af USB-porten: Plug your USB-powered device into the 5V USB output port. This port provides 5V DC power for charging or operating compatible devices.
- Sluk: When you are finished using the inverter, first turn off and unplug all connected appliances. Then, press the inverter's power switch to the OFF position. Finally, disconnect the inverter from the 12V DC power source.
Caution: Some rechargeable devices may be damaged by modified sine wave inverters. Consult the device's manual or manufacturer before connecting.
6. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the inverter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Ensure the cooling vents are free from dust and obstructions. Blocked vents can lead to overheating.
- Forbindelser: Regularly check all power connections to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
- Opbevaring: When not in use, store the inverter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
