Whistler 2000 WATT - Manual (Page 4)

FEATURES
d). Wattage & Voltage
Wattage Indicator. This illuminated Digital display moni-
tors the wattage being consumed by the inverter.
When the reading rises above the rated limits, the inverter
may automatically shut down. In this event, it is likely that
the draw of the equipment or appliance being operated is
greater than the battery is capable of producing.
Voltage Indicator. This Digital display monitors the voltage
being drawn from the battery by the inverter. The voltage
is measured at the Negative and Positive power input terminals
on the inverter. The voltage level reading will be lower
than the battery voltage due to the voltage "drop" that
occurs as the battery voltage runs through the terminal
connections and cables.
The inverter is designed to operate with input voltages
ranging from 10 to 15 volts. When the voltage drops below
10.5 volts DC an audible alarm will sound. If the voltage
drops below 10 volts DC, the voltage indicator will go out
and the inverter will automatically shut down. The inverter
also will shut down automatically when the input voltage
exceeds 15 volts DC. Despite this "built in" protection,
the inverter may be damaged if the input voltage exceeds
15 volts DC and damage caused by excess voltage input
is not covered under the WHISTLER warranty.
Note: In the event of automatic shut down or continuous
audible alarm, turn the inverter OFF (O) until the source of
the related problem has been determined and resolved.

FEATURES
Fan also will automatically turn on. Overheating may result
when the inverter is being operated at levels exceeding
its wattage rating or because it has been placed in a location
or in an manner which prevents proper heat dissipation.
After approximately 15 minutes, the High Temperature
Indicator light and the Cooling Fan will turn off and the
inverter will automatically restart indicating that the inverter
temperature has dropped to a safe operating level.
Over Load LED Indicator Light. This light will turn RED and the
inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous
power draw from the inverter exceeds the maximum
continuous power rating for the inverter. Turn the inverter
OFF (O), determine and resolve the cause of the overload
prior to resuming operation of the equipment or appliance.
Turning the inverter ON (I) will reset it.
c).Remote Operation Jack.
The inverter is designed to be operated from a remote
location via the WHISTLER PP015DC Remote Control
Switch which plugs into this socket. This optional accessory
is available through WHISTLER or your WHISTLER dealer.
