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. Do not attempt to

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 cable or clips.

• 110/120 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 800

watts or less.

Multiply: AMPS x 110/120 (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 800-watt range.

Connecting the Inverter

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. 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.

7. 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).

8. 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.

9. Turn the inverter power switch to the ON(I) position. Then turn the

equipment on.

Notes

• Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage, which may cause

damage to the component or the product you wish to operate.

• Failure to make a proper connection between the inverter and the power

source may result in reverse polarity. Reverse polarity will blow the internal

fuses in the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.

Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under the warranty.

• The audible alarm may make a momentary "chirp" when the inverter is turned

ON(I) or OFF(O). This same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being

connected to or disconnected from the 12-volt power source. This is normal.

• If the GREEN LED Indicator Light blinks when you first turn the inverter

ON(I), this may indicate an interruption of the power supply. Simply turn the

inverter OFF(O) and try removing and reconnecting the clamps. If this does

not fix the problem, try using a different 12-volt power source.

• If using more than one appliance, do not exceed a combined total of

800 watts.
