NTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Pyle view Inverter . The Pyle view Inverter will power a wide variety of
household or electronic appliance reliably from the 12V volt in your vehicle or boat ,or directly from a
12volt battery to serve . Such as laptop computers, digital /video camera , Mp3 player ,cell phones
and more .
Please pay your special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. Improper use of this
inverter can cause personnel injury, property damage
-WARNING
•Shock Hazard. Keep away from children.
•The PNVS4 Generates the same potentially lethal AC power as normal household wall outlet. Treat
it with the same respect that You would do to any AC outlet.
•The PNVS4 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
became uncomfortably warm, reaching 140 F (60 C) under extended high power.
•Disconnect power to the inverter when it is not in use.
•Do not expose this inverter to water, rain, snow or spray.
•Do not insert foreign objects into this inverter’s AC outlets.
•Do not leave this inverter or any device operating unattended, to avoid property damage potentially.
•Do not use or place this inverter near flammable materials or any places, which accumulate
flammable fumes.
•Do not connect this inverter to power utility AC distribution wiring under any circumstance.
•Check the input and output connectors of this inverter are tight regularly. The loose connections can
generate harmful heat and /of damage the inverter or power source.
-CAUTION
•Do not connect any AC product to this inverter, whose neutral conductor is connected to ground.
•Do not expose this inverter temperature in excess of 100 F(40 C).
•This inverter must be connected only to batteries with a normal output voltage of 12 Volts. This unit
will not operate from a 6-Volt battery and will be damaged if it is connected to a 24-Volt battery.
OPERATION
-CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS INVERTER WITH THE FOLLOWING：
•Small battery operated appliances such as RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHTS, SOME RECHARGE-
ABLE SHAVERS and NIGHT LIGHTS that are plugged directly into as RECEPTACLE TO
RECHARGE.
•BATTERY CHARGES used with certain power tool battery packs. These chargers will have a
WARNING LABEL stating that DANGEROUS VOLTAGE ARE PRESENT AT THE CHARGERS
BATTERY TERMINALS.
-WARNING:
Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an Energy Hazard. To prevent irritation and burns,
wear protective wear and clothing, and take special care to ensure no metal tools or personal objects
contact the battery terminals.
Using the inverter
A .Plug the Pyle view inverter into your vehicle’s lighter socket. If the socket is too large, adjust the
negative connectors using the slide control to ensure a snug fit. The (green) LED will light up.
B. Plug an AC product into the three-prong AC receptacle and turn it on. Ensure your product draws
150watts or less of continuous AC power. To avoid discharging the vehicle battery, always remove
the inverter from the lighter socket when not in use.
-The LED indicators
A. GREEN: It indicates the inverter is power on,
B. B. GREEN FAILS TO LIGHT: It indicates the inverter shutdown caused by low voltage, overload,
or excessive temperature.
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.
BATTERY OPERATING TIME
The vehicle batteries are not intended for constant deep discharge, they are designed to provide
brief periods of very high current needed for engine starting. It is strongly recommended to start the
vehicle every hour or two to recharge battery before its capacity drops too low. Operating the
inverter from a vehicle battery until the low voltage shutdown will shorten the battery’s life.
The inverter can operate whether or not the vehicle’s engine is running, but the normal voltage drop
that occurs during starting may trigger the inverter’s low voltage shutdown feature.
The use of a deep discharge battery is strongly advised for longer operating times. Its capacity
should be selected based on the desired operating time.
PROTECTION
SYMPTOMS PROTECTION
The low voltage battery (bel0w DC 10V) The unit auto shutdown.
The Green LED turns off.
The high input voltage (over DC 15.6V) The unit auto shutdown
The overload The Green LED turns off
The overheat
Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM A: NO AC POWER OUTPUT , THE GREEN TURNS OFF
POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTION
AC product connected is rated at more than
150 watts; overload shutdown occurs Use product with a power rating of less than
150 watts
Peak power has caused overload shutdown even
though AC product connected is rated at less than
150 watts Product exceeds inverter’s surge capability. Use a
product with peak power of less than 300W
Lighter socket or 12 volt outlet may require ignition
to be switched on Turn ignition key to accessory position
Poor contact with lighter socket or 12 volt outlet Press inverter firmly into the lighter socket. Make
sure socket is clean.
Vehicle battery is discharged Recharge battery
