User manual PYLE PCMX260MB

[. . . ] · Check the input and output connectors of this inverter are tight regularly. The loose connections can generate harmful heat and/of damage the inverter or power source. -CAUTION · Do not connect any AC product to this inverter, whose neutral conductor is connected to ground. · Do not expose this inverter to temperature in excess of 100°F (40°C). · This inverter must be connected only to batteries with a normal output voltage of 12 Volts. [. . . ] This unit will not operate from a 6-Volt battery and will be damaged if it is connected to a 24-Volt battery. 1 FEATURES PCMX260MB 1. BINDING POST TERMINAL 2 OPERATION - CAUTION : DO NOT USE THIS INVERTER WITH THE FOLLOWING: · Small battery operated appliances such as RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHTS, SOME RECHARGEABLE SHAVERS and NIGHT LIGHTS that are plugged directly into as RECEPTACLE TO RECHARGE · BATTERY CHARGERS used with certain power tool battery packs. These chargers will have a WARNING LABEL stating that DANGEROUS VOLTAGE ARE PRESENT AT THE CHARGERS BATTERY TERMINALS. -WARNING: Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an Energy Hazard. To prevent irritation and burns, wear protective wear and clothing, and take special care to ensure no metal tools or personal objects contact the battery terminals. -The Power Source Connection The power source must provide between 10. 3 to 15. 6 Volts DC and must be able to supply the necessary current to operate the load. The power source may be a battery or a well-regulated 12V/30A DC power supply. To obtain the power source must deliver (in amperes), you can divide the power consumption of the load (in watt) by 12 (the input voltage). For example, the load is rated at 150 Watts, the power source must be able to deliver: (150/12)=12. 5 Amp. The inverter is equipped with a heavy duty DC lighter plug that fits standard vehicle cigarette lighter and DC power outlets. With this lighter plug, the inverter can power loads up to 150 Watts. When continuously powering loads rated higher than 150 Watts, connect the inverter directly to a 12 Volt battery, please use the provided battery clip cables (PINV2/ PINV3) to connect the inverter directly to the 12 Volt power source. the PCMX260MB is not suitable for operating at power requirement are over than 150 Watts. While using the battery clip cable of PINV2 /PINV3, please follow these steps: A. It is strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge battery before its capacity drops too low. Operating the inverter from a vehicle battery until the low voltage alarm sounds will shorten the battery's life. The inverter can operate whether or not the vehicle's engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that occurs during starting may trigger the inverter's low voltage shutdown feature. The use of a deep discharge battery is strongly advised for longer operating times. Its capacity should be selected based on the desired operating time. PROTECTION SYMPTOMS The input reverse polarity The low voltage battery (below DC 10V) PROTECTION The fuse blown. The RED LED lights. The high input voltage (over DC 15. 6V) The overload The overheat 5 TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM A: NO AC POWER OUTPUT, THE RED LED LIGHTS. POSSIBLE CAUSES The connected AC products are rated at more than 150 Watts (PCMX260MB) , 300 Watts (PINV2) or 400 Watts (PINV3), the overload shutdown occurred. The connected AC products are rated at less than 150 Watts (PCMX260MB) , 300 Watts (PINV2) or 400 Watts (PINV3), the high starting surge causes the overload shutdown. The battery is discharged (alarm sounds) The inverter overheated SUGGESTION Use the product with a total power rating less than 150 Watts (PCMX260MB) , 300 Watts (PINV2) and 400 Watts (PINV3) . Use the product not exceeds the inverter's surge capacity, 300 Watts (PCMX260MB) , 600 Watts (PINV2) and 800 Watts (PINV3) . Turn off the inverter and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Clear blocked fan (PINV2 / PINV3) or remove the objects covering the ventilation. SYMPTOM B: NO AC POWER OUTPUT, NO LED LIGHTS ARE ON. POSSIBLE CAUSES The lighter socket or 12 Volt outlet has been poor contacted The lighter socket or 12 Volt may require ignition to be on. [. . . ] Turn off the inverter and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Clear blocked fan (PINV2 / PINV3) or remove the objects covering the ventilation. SYMPTOM B: NO AC POWER OUTPUT, NO LED LIGHTS ARE ON. POSSIBLE CAUSES The lighter socket or 12 Volt outlet has been poor contacted The lighter socket or 12 Volt may require ignition to be on. The fuse of cigarette lighter or 12 Volt outlet is blown The fuse of inverter is blown SUGGESTION Press plug into socket firmly. Check to make sure the inverter is connected to a power source with correct voltage and polarity. [. . . ]
