The vast majority of these items use a separate charger or transformer that plugs into the AC outlet and produces a low voltage output. The problems described above, do not occur with most battery-operated equipment. A waveform of this nature is suitable for most AC loads (including linear and switching power suppliers used in electronic equipment, transformers and motors). The output waveform of your RPPD2000 is referred to as “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” Some very sensitive electronic equipment and some medical equipment (listed below) may not operate satisfactorily on “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the pure sine wave shape of utility power. These chargers will have a “Warning Label” indicating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals. Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, razors and nightlights that can be plugged directly into an AC outlet to recharge.Ģ. DO NOT use the RPPD2000 on the following items:ġ. Damage to the inverter will result even if the power switch is in the OFF position.ĭO NOT connect any AC device which has its neutral conductor connected to ground.ĭO NOT expose the RPPD2000 to air temperatures in excess of 104☏. This type of battery emits explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks.ĭO NOT connect the RPPD2000 to live AC power circuits. During use, DO NOT place materials that could be damaged by heat on or near the RPPD2000.ĭO NOT operate the RPPD2000 near flammable fumes or gases such as the bilge of a gasoline power boat, or near propane tanks.ĭO NOT operate the RPPD2000 in an enclosed area that contains automotive type lead-acid batteries. Be sure that there is at least 4 inches of unobstructed air space around the entire surface of the inverter at all times. The case to the RPPD2000 may become very warm under high power operation reaching 140☏. WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD, KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.ĭO NOT insert any foreign objects into the RPPD2000’s outlets, vents or fan openings.ĭO NOT expose the RPPD2000 to rain, water or any other liquids.ĭO NOT connect the RPPD2000 to utility power distribution systems or branch circuits. It is suggested that you treat it with the same respect that you would any AC outlet. The ROADPRO RPPD2000 produces the same potentially lethal AC power as normal household outlets. Read and follow the directions in the owner’s manual.
WARNING: Incorrect installation or misuse of the RPPD2000 could result in personal injury or damage to the inverter and/or attached equipment. WARNING statements provide information on conditions that could result in personal injury or loss of life.
Keep this manual for reference should troubleshooting be necessary.ĬAUTION statements provide information that could damage your inverter or equipment connected to it.
Carefully read and follow the guidelines in this manual giving special attention to the CAUTION and WARNING statements. For safe and optimum performance, the inverter must be installed and used properly. If properly used, the inverter will give you years of reliable service providing AC power for TVs, computers, appliances, stereos and power tools. Please read and understand all of the information provided in this manual before operating or installing. Thank you for purchasing the POWERDRIVE2000 power inverter, a high performance solution to using household power while on the road.
