* NoTE: PST-15S is provided with an attached DC input power cord with plug (6, fig. 6.1). When
plugged into the 12V/24V power outlet in the vehicle, it will be protected by the fuse in the
12V/24V power outlet circuit of the vehicle.
Dc input connection
PST-15S is provided with an attached 3' DC power cord with a 12V plug (6, fig. 6.1). This plug
is used to feed DC input power from 12V power outlet in vehicles.
In PST-30S, the DC input terminals for battery connection (6,7 in fig. 6.2) have cylindrical
hole (5 mm dia.) with set screw (#10, 24 TPI).
Detachable Dc input Wiring Sets Provided with PSt-30S
PST-30S is provided with the following DC input wiring sets:
1. 3', #10 AWG with battery clamps
2. 3', #12 AWG with 12V plug

Limiting Power Draw from 12V Power outlet in Vehicles:
- 12V power outlet in a vehicle is normally fused at around 15A. This limits the power
draw from this outlet to around 150W.
- When powering PST-30S (rated at 300W) from the 12V power outlet in a vehicle,
please ensure the AC load is limited to < 150W. Power draw > 150W will blow the 15A
fuse in the vehicle.
