Lenmar Enterprises Lenmar N-Verter NVC250 - Manual (Page 2)

3. 4.
Warning - When using you N-Verter with the vehicle’s engine turned off, the battery is being drained. Be careful to
re-start the engine or otherwise recharge the battery periodically to avoid draining the battery too deeply. The internal
“low voltage shut-off” of the N-Verter does not guarantee that the remaining power left in the battery is enough to start
the vehicle.
Warning - Hot surface! The N-Verter housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 65°C (150°F) under extended
high power operation. During operation, keep the N-Verter from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.
Modified Sine-Wave Output
THE OUTPUT OF THE N-VERTER IS NON-SINUSOIDAL. This type of output can typically be incompatible with small
battery-operated products such as rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and nightlights that plug
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge as well as certain battery chargers for battery packs used with power tools. If
you wish to use one of these types of items with the N-Verter, monitor its temperature for the first ten minutes to insure
excessive heat is not produced. The production of excessive heat indicates the device is not suitable for use with the
N-Verter. The overheating does not occur with most devices which use their own AC adapters. The N-Verter is
compatible with most of these chargers and AC adapters.

Low Voltage Shutdown - Battery voltage has gone too low. Recharge the
vehicle’s battery before using the N-Verter.
Over Voltage Shutdown – The input voltage has gone over 14.5VDC and the
N-Verter has turned off to protect itself. The vehicle’s charging system may have a
problem.
Continuous power rating has been exceeded - The AC device has higher wattage
demands than the N-Verter’s maximum rating can allow. The N-Verter unit is too
small for that particular device. A higher rated N-Verter is needed to deliver the
power that the AC device demands. Otherwise, use only lower power AC
devices.
Overheated – some of the units ventilation slots may be blocked or the outside
air temperature is too high to allow the unit to cool itself properly. Turn the unit
off and allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes. Make sure that ventilation
slots are unobstructed and/or air temperature is cooler before restarting.
The AC device has higher start-up or surge current than the N-Verter’s maximum
rating can allow. The N-Verter unit is too small for this particular device. A higher
rated N-Verter is needed to deliver the power that the AC device demands.
Otherwise, use only lower power AC devices.
On many vehicles, the ignition key must be “on” for power to be present at the
cigarette lighter socket. Make sure the key is on.
The cigarette lighter adapter or clip leads may not be making proper connection.
Check the tightness of the connections at the power cable posts on the N-Verter,
the connection at the vehicle’s 12VDC power socket and/or the connection of the
clip leads at the battery posts.
Battery voltage may be too low. Recharge the vehicle’s battery and attempt
again.
Vehicle fuse may be blown. Replace the vehicle’s fuse with the same type and
rating. Make sure you are not overloading the socket or the fuse will blow again.
Many inexpensive stereos or portable players will buzz when connected to the
N-Verter because the modified sine wave of the N-Verter is not properly filtered
by the electronic device’s power supply. Higher quality devices will not buzz with
the N-Verter.
If the television signal is weak, the use of the N-Verter will cause a visual
disturbance. Move the N-Verter away from the TV, antennae and/or the antennae
cables. You may attempt to merely adjust the placement of the antennae or
cables. Inferior antennae and cables will also cause TV interference during
operation of the N-Verter.
