4.2 Microwave
The power rating used with microwave ovens is the cooking power which refers to the power being delivered to the food being
cooked. The actual operating power requirement rating is 40% to 100% higher than the advertised cooking power. The actual
power consumption is usually stated on the back of the microwave. If the operating power requirement cannot be found on the
back of the microwave, check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer.
4.3 Operating limits
Power output: Your inverter is designed to deliver its full output power continuously, and has a double power surge
capacity for less than 1 second.
Input voltage:
The inverter will operate with input voltages between 20 and 30 volts (see specs). Optimum
performance is achieved, however, with input voltages between 24.0 and 28.0 volts. If the voltage drops
lower than a certain preprogrammed level (see 7), the low battery warning alarm will sound.
The inverter will shut down if the voltage drops below a certain preprogrammed level (see 7). The
“LVP” code will be displayed on the remote. This protects your batteries from being over-discharged.
The inverter will not restart unless the input voltage exceeds 26.4 volts.
The inverter will shut down if the voltage exceeds 30 volts or if your consumption exceeds the nominal
capacity of the inverter. The “OLP” code will be displayed on the remote. This protects the inverter
from excessive input voltage. While the inverter incorporates protection against over voltage, it may still
be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 32 volts.
5 Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating properly. You should clean the exterior with a dry cloth to
prevent dust accumulation. A regular maintenance check is recommended, DC input bolts or screws should be tightened
periodically, cables should also be inspected for solidity and exterior condition. You must also keep your batteries as clean as
possible to prevent current loss that may affect inverter operation.
CAUTION!
If you work on the DC input terminals of your power inverter, disconnect both wires at the battery
side to avoid any short circuit.
6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Television and CB radio interference
Operating your inverter can interfere with television and CB radio reception. If this occurs, the following steps may help to
eliminate the problem:
 Make sure that your inverter is properly grounded to the chassis of your vehicle (see 3.5).
 Reduce power consumption while watching television
 Move the television as far as possible from your inverter
 Run both DC cables as close as possible together with cable ties.
