4 Connecting the 150 Inverter
Choosing a Location
For best performance, choose a location that is:
• Dry Do not expose the inverter to water drip or spray.
• Cool Operate the inverter in ambient temperatures
between 0° C and 40° C (32° F and 100° F). Keep it
away from heating vents and direct sunlight.
• Well ventilated For proper cooling, allow at least 5 cm
(2 in.) of clearance around the inverter.
• Clean and free of dust and dirt Choose a location
that is free of any debris that could get into the inverter.
Connecting
To connect the inverter:
1. Place the inverter on a flat surface like the vehicle’s
dashboard. Use the floor only if it is dry and free of
debris that could get into the inverter.
2. Plug the inverter’s DC lighter plug into the vehicle’s
cigarette lighter socket or a 12 volt outlet.
3. Turn on the inverter’s On/Standby switch. The green
PWR light comes on, and AC power is available at the
outlet.
Note: You may need to turn the vehicle’s ignition key
to the accessory position.
4. Plug in the AC load you want to operate.
