[. . . ] Repair expenses for this type of damage are not covered by your warranty. CAUTION: Do Not Use with positive ground electrical systems. (The majority of modern automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground. CONNECTION TO LOAD The ADC700 is equipped with a standard AC household-type receptacle. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle. The green LED indicator will illuminate to indicate that the unit is functioning. Make sure the load requirements of your equipment are within the parameters of the ADC700 output. If an audible alarm sounds, refer to sections 2, 3 or 4 of this manual for probable causes. 7 DO NOT CONNECT TO AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING The ADC700 is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source. Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial 10 minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be used with this inverter. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The ADC700 is easily capable of running most chargers and transformers. FUSE REPLACEMENT If the ADC700 is overloaded and the spade type fuse (s) (35A) is blown, flip up the fuse (s) replacement cover on the back of the ADC700 and replace the blown fuse (s) with a new spade type, 35 Amp fuse. Determine the cause of the short before restarting your ADC700 again. 8 PLACEMENT OF THE ADC700 For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface, such as a vehicle seat or floor. A power cord measuring 3 feet (1. 0 meter) has been provided for easy positioning of the inverter. ADC700 should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY: Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the ADC700 inverter. COOL: Ambient air temperature should be between -20° C and 40° C (ideally between 15° C and 25° C (60 - 80° F). Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the in verter away from direct sunlight, if at all possible. VENTILATED: Keep the area surrounding the ADC700 clear to ensure free air circulation around the unit. [. . . ] When the condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted. Over Voltage Protection - The ADC700 will automatically shut down when the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC. Short Circuit Protection - Reverse polarity or a short circuit condition will usually result in the fuse being blown. Immediately disconnect the shorted load and replace the fuse inside the plug of the ADC700 as described in Section 3. [. . . ]
