High-Voltage Converter/Power Point Inverter

DC/AC Inverter and AC Power Point

The DC/AC inverter converts 12 volts DC to 110 volts AC to power a device that uses AC current with a power requirement of less than 150 watts.

The 110 volts AC created by the inverter will measure differently than a conventional AC outlet (utility-generated) with some multi-meters. The power point will automatically shut off if the load exceeds 150 watts. This prevents damage to the inverter or load. The inverter supplies 110 volts AC power only when the ignition is ON. This reduces the draw on the 12-volt system when the vehicle is not running. The DC/AC inverter outlet (AC power point) is equipped with a green LED that indicates the system integrity. The green LED illuminates continuously when the key is ON and the system is operating normally. The green LED flashes constantly if the key is ON and a fault is detected. Short circuits, overloads or overheating of the inverter will cause the green LED to flash and the power to be cut off to the outlet. If the LED is flashing, the problem must be corrected (short circuit or excessive load). If the inverter is overheated, it must be allowed time to cool off (without the load connected). Refer to the Owner's Literature for a list of appropriate electrical loads/devices that can be used.
