CAUTION
• The inverter is designed to operate from a 12-volt power source only. The unit
will not operate from a 6-volt battery or a 24-volt battery.
connect the inverter to any other power source other than a battery
with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts or damage to the unit may
occur and will void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to extend or otherwise modify the supplied 12-volt power cord,
battery cables or battery clips.
• 110 volts can inflict serious injury, damage or death. Improper use of the
inverter may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Getting Started
When you turn on an appliance or tool that operates using a motor or a tube
(such as a television), it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge
of power is referred to as the "starting load" or "peak load" . Once started, the
appliance or tool requires less power to continue to operate. This is referred to
as the "continuous load" .
You will need to determine how much power your appliance or tool requires to
start up (peak power) and it's continued operating power requirements
(continuous load).
Power consumption is rated in either wattage (watts) or amperes (amps). This
information is usually stamped or printed on most appliances and equipment.
If this information is not indicated on the actual product, check the owner's
manual or contact the manufacturer to determine the power consumption. Be
sure that the power consumption of the item you wish to operate is rated at 400
watts or less.
Multiply: AMPS x 110 (AC voltage) = WATTS
This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of the
appliance.
To determine whether the inverter will operate a particular item, run a test. All
AIMS Power inverters are designed to automatically shut down in the event of a
power overload. This protection feature prevents damage to the unit while test
ing items with ratings higher than the 400-watt range.
Connecting the Inverter
Through the Car Cigarette Lighter Socket or 12 Volt Power Port
1. Make sure the ON/OFF power switch located on the front panel of the inverter
is in the OFF(O) position.
2. Unscrew the red and black caps from the power input terminals located on
the rear of the inverter.

3. Connect the 12-volt power cord to the power input terminals making sure to
match the color coded cables to the color coded terminals on the inverter
(RED=Positive, BLACK=Negative). Hand-tighten the red and black caps back
on the power input terminals. Do not over tighten these caps.
4. Insert the 12-volt power cord firmly into the cigarette lighter socket in your
vehicle or any other 12-volt power port.
5. Turn the inverter power switch to the ON(I) position. The GREEN LED
Indicator Light should illuminate to confirm that power is running to the
inverter.
6. Turn the inverter power switch to the OFF(O) position. (The GREEN LED
Indicator Light may "blink" briefly and/or the internal audible alarm may
make a momentary "chirp" . This is normal).
7. Make sure that the device you intend to operate is turned OFF . Plug the cord
from the equipment you wish to operate into one of the AC outlets located on
the front panel of the inverter.
8. Turn the inverter power switch to the ON(I) position. Then turn the
equipment on.
NOTE: If operating an appliance above
supplied battery clips for direct connection to the 12-volt power
source. Do not use the 12-volt power cord for connection through the
cigarette lighter socket.
Directly to the 12 Volt Power Source
1. Make sure the ON/OFF power switch located on the front panel of the inverter
is in the OFF(O) position.
2. Unscrew the red and black caps from the power input terminals located on
the rear of the inverter.
3. Connect the battery-clip cables to the power input terminals making sure to
match the color coded cables to the color coded terminals on the inverter
(RED=Positive, BLACK=Negative). Hand-tighten the red and black caps back
-
on the power input terminals. Do not over tighten these caps.
4. Connect the cable from the Negative (-) terminal (BLACK) on the inverter to
the Negative terminal on the 12-volt power source. Double check that the
connection is secure.
5. Connect the cable from the Positive (+) terminal (RED) on the inverter to the
Positive terminal on the power source. Double check that the connection is
secure.
6. Follow directions 5-8 in the above section titled "
Lighter Socket or 12 Volt Power Port" .
