It can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment center, or simply an expression of our personality. [. . . ] The WHISTLER 150 is equipped with a 20 amp spade type fuse; the WHISTLER 350 with a 35 amp, spade type fuse. With reasonable care, it should not be necessary to replace the fuse in your inverter. Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short circuit within the appliance or equipment being operated. These indicator lights operate as follows: GREEN LED: YELLOW LED: System ready. System overload/automatic shut down. ADDITIONAL FEATURES b) The inverter will automatically shut down when the input voltage drops below 9. 5 volts. This protects the battery from completely draining. In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible alarm, turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (O) position until the source of the related problem has been identified and resolved. Note: · The Whistler PP350AC model only is equipped with a cooling fan which is designed to run continuously while the inverter is operating. Automatic shutdown caused by excess circuit temperature occurs when the cooling fan is unable to maintain the design parameters for safe operation of the inverter. Your inverter will shut down automatically when any of the following problems occur: 1. The power input from the battery drops below 9. 5 volts. The power input from the battery exceeds 16 volts. The continuous draw of the appliance or equipment being operated exceeds the design parameters of the inverter. Wall Mounting: Whistler inverters have provisions for wall mounting; two slotted holes in the handle area and a notched area at the power cord end allow for easy wall mounting of the unit. Your WHISTLER GO AC inverter will work best when placed on a reasonably flat surface. The floor or seat of your car or truck both are good locations. The WHISTLER PP150AC and PP350AC models are equipped with the following additional safety features: Thermal Cut Off: Automatic shut down when the internal circuit temperature exceeds standard design parameters for safe operation. Low Battery Voltage Alarm/Shutdown Protection a) When the input voltage from the 12 volt power source drops below 10. 5 volts, an audible tone will be heard. 1. 14 15 CARE AND MAINTENANCE (When driving with the inverter in operation, make certain that neither the inverter nor the power cords will impede safe operation of your vehicle. Keep the unit and all cords clear of the steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and gear shift). To maintain your inverter in proper working condition, note the following important safety precautions: · MOISTURE. Do not operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device being operated or any other surfaces that may come in contact with any power sources are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity which may lead to serious injury or death. For peak efficiency, the ambient air temperature should be between 50° and 80° F. Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat.
