Safety
Before using the APC DC to AC Power Inverter, read the following safety precautions:
•
Do not operate the APC DC to AC Power Inverter near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
•
Provide adequate ventilation and refrain from placing items on or around the inverter during operation.
•
Proper cooling is essential when operating the inverter. Refrain from placing the inverter near the vehicle’s heat vent or in direct sunlight.
•
Keep the case dry at all times.
•
Check the warning labels on battery chargers or adapters before connecting them to the inverter. Do not connect battery chargers or adapters displaying or having
dangerous voltage warnings.
Features
Low Battery Protection
: If the input voltage drops below 10.5 volts, the inverter will automatically shut down. The unit will automatically turn back on once the
battery voltage increases above 10.5 Vdc.
Note:
Turn off connected equipment before recharging the vehicle battery.
Status Indicator-located on the inverter:
The LED located near the receptacle on the inverter unit is a dual-color LED indicator:
•
Green indicates the power source is sufficient for proper inverter operation.
•
Yellow indicates the power source is insufficient for operation (voltage is less than 10.5V or greater than 20V), or that thermal protection has taken place due to an
output short circuit or overload.
Status Indicator-located on the lighter adapter:
The lighter adapter is equipped with a blue LED that indicates when the adapter has been pushed firmly into the 12
volt socket in your vehicle.
AC Outlet:
The AC outlet provides power suitable for any electronic piece of equipment requiring up to 150 watts of continuous power.
Note:
Ensure the wattage of equipment plugged into the APC DC to AC Power Inverter does not exceed 150 watts (maximum) continuous.
WARNING
: As with all accessories that use power from your vehicle’s 12-volt socket, ensure the Cigarette Lighter Assembly plug (CLA) is pressed
firmly into the socket to prevent overheating of the CLA while your inverter is in use. APC has provided a blue indicator light on the CLA
to show when it has been pushed sufficiently into the socket to prevent overheating. If the blue light is not lit, push the CLA firmly into the
12-volt socket until the indicator is illuminated. Failure to comply may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Airline Use
: An Airline Adapter is included with the PNOTEAC150A. You may use it with the inverter unit to provide AC power on airplanes equipped with an in-flight
power outlet. If equipped, this outlet is located in the armrest of the seat, near the headset plug, or under the seat. Attach the airline adapter as shown in Figure 2.
