Common Audio/Visual Problems

Problem: Buzzing Sound In Audio Systems

Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” emit a buzzing sound from

their speakers when operated from the

Power Force 50™

inverter, because the

power supply in the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sine

wave produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound

system that has a higher quality power supply internally.

Problem: Television Interference

The Vector™

Power Force 50™

is shielded to minimize interference with TV

signals. However, in some instances, some interference may still be visible,

particularly when the TV signal is weak. Try the following corrective measures:

• Position the

Pocket Generator™

as far as possible from the TV set, the antennae,

and the antennae cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.

• Adjust the orientation of the

Pocket Generator™

, the antennae cables, and the

TV power cord to minimize interference.

• Make sure that the antennae feeding the TV provides an adequate (“snow free”)

signal and that high quality, shielded antennae cable is used.

Common Power Output Problems

Problem: Lack Of Power Output

Possible Causes Recommendations

Inverter not adequately Turn power inverter switch OFF and

warmed up. then ON again. Repeat if necessary.

Battery voltage Recharge or replace

Pocket Generator™

battery.

below 10 volts.

Equipment being operated Reduce load to maximum 50 watts.

draws too much power.

Inverter in thermal Allow inverter to cool down. Ensure that there is

shutdown condition. adequate ventilation around unit, and load is no

more than 50 watts for continuous operation.

Main fuse failed (blown). Replace

Pocket Generator™

fuse.

Problem: Low Output Voltage

Using average reading voltmeter. Use

true

RMS reading meter.

Inverter is overloaded. Reduce load to 50 watts max. to maintain regulation.

Input voltage below 10.5 volts. Keep input voltage above 10.5 volts to maintain regulation.
