[. . . ] Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under the Whistler warranty. · Making the connection between the Positive (+) terminals may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to the capacitors in the inverter. Due to the potential for sparking, however, it is extremely important that both the inverter and the 12 volt battery be well removed from any possible source of flammable fumes or gases. Run a ground from the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear of the inverter to a proper grounding point using the shortest practical length of 18 AWG wire. Selection of the grounding point will depend on where you are using the inverter. The ground wire may be connected to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat or to the earth if you are operating the inverter in a remote location. Before OPERATION connecting the ground, make certain that the inverter is turned off. Operating the inverter without properly grounding it may result in electrical shock. The Voltage Bar Graph should read between 11 and 14 volts depending on the voltage of the power source. If the reading is not within this range, check the voltage of the power source and the terminal connections on the power source and the inverter to make sure they are secure. Neither the High Temperature or Over Load LED Indicators should be illuminated. Plug the equipment or appliance into one of the two AC receptacles on the front panel of the the inverter. Turn on the equipment or appliance. 8. 9. Note: · The audible alarm may make a momentary "chirp" when the inverter is turned OFF (O). The same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being connected to or disconnected from the 12 volt power source. · The use of an extension cord from the inverter to the 16 17 1250/1750/2750 Manual 3/6/02 2:45 PM Page 21 OPERATION appliance or equipment being operated will not significantly decrease the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be no more than 50 feet long. · Check frequently to ensure that the input and out put connections are secure. Loose connections may damage the inverter, the power source, or may generate excessive heat. Consequently, each of these outlets is rated for a maximum output of 1500 watts (110 volts x 15 amps). To generate the maximum output, the 2000 series models should be connected to a power supply which has the capacity to produce up to 275 amps. The loads should be distributed between the two receptacles to ensure that each outlet is producing no more than its maximum 1500 watt output. If more than one piece of equipment or appliance is to be operated at the same time, first turn on the inverter and then turn on each piece of equipment or appliance separately to enable the inverter to produce the required start up loads.
