A W or d About WHISTLER Power Inver ters. WHISTLER inver ters convert low voltage, dir ect cur r ent (DC) to 110 volt alter nating household cur r ent (AC). The AC output is called “modified sine wave”. See “T echnical Operating Principles” section for mor e infor mation. Depending on the model and its rated capacity , WHISTLER inver ters d[...]

INVER TER BASICS Getting Started Power equipment and appliances which operate with motors or tubes r equir e an initial sur ge of power to get them up and r unning. This power sur ge is r efer r ed to as the "star ting load" or "peak load." (By comparison, electrical devices such as standar d light bulbs do not r equir e a lar g[...]

INVER TER BASICS Don’ t Push It. Although your WHISTLER inver ter has the capacity to pr ovide power output (excess cur r ent) equal to appr oximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a ver y brief period, it is designed to operate equipment and appliances with start up load wattage ratings no higher than its own maximum continuous wattag[...]

OPERA TION Making the Connection. This inver ter is designed to connect to your 12 volt batter y using the lighter socket plug or by the supplied batter y cables (for appliances over 150 watts, 400 watt model only). 1. Make cer tain that the inver ter r ocker switch is in the OFF (O) position. 2. Connect the lighter plug or har dwir e cables to the[...]

• The use of an extension cor d fr om the inver ter to the appliance or equipment being operated will decr ease the power being deliever ed to the load. For best operating r esults, the extension cor d should be no mor e than 50 feet long. • Check frequently to ensur e that the input and output connections ar e secur e. Loose connections may da[...]

13 ADDITIONAL FEA TURES Automatic Shut Down & Related Safety Featur es. Each inver ter has an unique LED indicator war ning light system which operates in conjunction with the automatic shut down featur e . These indicator lights operate as follows: GREEN LED: System r eady . RED LED: System overload/automatic shut down. Y our inverter will shu[...]

2. Low Batter y V oltage Alar m/Shutdown Pr otection a) When the input voltage fr om the 12 volt power sour ce dr ops below 10.5 volts, an audible tone will be hear d. This is the low battery voltage alar m. b) The inverter will automatically shut down when the input voltage dr ops below 10 volts. This pr otects the batter y fr om completely draini[...]

17 16 OPERA TING PRINCIPLES OPERA TING PRINCIPLES The majority of AC voltmeters measure RMS voltage and assume that the measur ed wavefor m will be a pur e sine wave. Consequently , these meters will not r ead the RMS modified sine wave voltage cor r ectly and, when measuring your WHISTLER inver ter output, the meters will r ead about 20 to 30 volt[...]

• When operating the inver ter with the engine of f, star t the engine ever y hour and let it run for at least 10 minutes to r echar ge the batter y . • In the event of automatic shut down, tur n the inver ter OFF (O) immediately . Do not r estar t the inver ter until the sour ce of the pr oblem has been identified and cor r ected. • T o avoi[...]
