Technical specifications Input voltage of the battery DC 12V (10.5V–16V) Output voltage per socket / AC frequency AC 230V / 50Hz nominal Permanent current / Input current 115A / max. 125A 1200W (maximum, continuously) Output power 2400W (peak) MSW The power inverter’s MSW [Modified Sine Wave] is Output especially suitable for light and heat with max. 1200W. MSW waveform output can produce "humming" when connected to audio equipment and is generally unsuitable for sensitive electronics.

Normal use The power inverter is intended to convert 12V direct current voltage to alternating current voltage 230V / 50Hz and/or direct current voltage of 5V / max. 2.1A (2.0 USB). The power inverter is only intended for permanent installation. This power inverter is not intended for use by children or persons with limited mental capacity or lacking experience and/or lacking expertise. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the power inverter.

When the temperature reduces, the fan turns off. (7) Both USB ports together have in total the max. of 3.1A; e.g. when the first USB port delivers 2.

Determine Battery Capacity Battery type and battery size strongly affect the performance. Therefore, you need to identify the type of loads your inverter will be powering and how much you will be using them between charges. Once you know how much power you will be using, you can determine how much battery capacity you need. Technaxx recommends that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. CAUTION: Risk of inverter damage.

Securely connect the black negative (-) cable lead to the negative (-) terminal of the battery or power source. Connect a 0.75mm² wire or larger insulated wire between the chassis ground connector on the Inverter and a clean electrical grounding point on the vehicle. This will minimize possible electrical noise interference when using TVs or radios. Note: Sparking is normal for first connection.

To Estimate Battery Recharge Required given Your Application You must allow your batteries to recharge long enough to replace the charge lost during inverter operation or else you will eventually run down your batteries. To estimate the minimum amount of time you need to recharge your batteries given your application, divide your required battery amp-hours (from above) by your Inverter/Charger’s rated charging amps (depending on the ON/OFF settings). 17.25 amp-hours / 40A inverter/charger rating = 0.

Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Device The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference. Despite this, some interference may occur with your television picture, especially with weak signals. Below are some suggestions to try and improve reception. Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 230V AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is adequately shielded and of good quality.
PAGE 9
Overload Protection (Red LED on Inverter) The Inverter will automatically shut down if the continuous draw exceeds its maximum wattage rating. When the Inverter is at or near maximum output, an alarm will sound. When the alarm sounds you need to disconnect the device(s) to bring the Inverter output down to an acceptable level. If you continue to use the Inverter at or near the maximum output, it will eventually overheat and shut down.

TROUBLESHOOTING No Power on Fault connection Turn the inverter’s power switch off; Verify cable are tightly connected to the inverter and the power source Battery voltage below 10V Recharge or replace battery Equipment being operated draws too much power Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there’s adequate ventilation around the inverter.
