1RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargers for small

nickel cadmium batteries can

be damaged if connected to

the CPI 150 BK/WH. Two types

of equipment are particularly

prone to this problem:

1. Small battery operated

appliances that can be

plugged directly into

an AC receptacle for

recharging, including

flashlights, razors, and

nightlights.

2. Certain battery chargers for

battery packs used in hand

power tools, specifically

those that have a

WARNING label stating

that dangerous voltages

are present at the battery

terminals.

Problems do not occur with

the vast majority of battery

operated tools, most of which

use a separate charger or

transformer that plugs into

an ACreceptacle and

produces a low voltage

output. If the label on your

tool’s ACadapter or charger

states that is produces a low

voltage ACor DC output

(less than 30 volts) you

can safely power the charger

with your CPI 150.

CAUTION

QUICK CHECKOUT

In order to check the

performance of your

CPI 150 before using it,

please have the following

on hand:

1. A12 volt DC power source

(such as a vehicle battery)

2. Atest load such as a lamp

or other small appliance

that can be plugged into

the AC receptacle on the

inverter.

Power Source

You will need an 11 to

15 volt DC power source

capable ofsupplyingenough

current to run the test load. As

arough guide, divide the

wattage ofthetest load by 10

to get the current (in amperes)

that thepower source must

supply. A fully charged

standard automotive battery

will work fine.

Connecting to the

Power Source

Your CPI 150 BK/WH comes

with a 24 inch cable and

detachable cigarette lighter

plug that converts to an

airplane 12 volt female

connector.

Do not connect to the power

source if flammable fumes

arepresent. Explosion or

fire may result.

WARNING

2QUICK CHECKOUT

Quick Checkout (continued)

To connect your inverter

to the power source:

1. If the power source is a DC

power supply, switch it off.

2. Connect power cordto

theinverter.

3. Insert thecigarette lighter

plug into your vehicle’s

cigarette lighter.

4. For airlineapplication, remove

lighter plug from cable.

Note:Some airplanes are

equipped with cigarette

lighter type socket.

5. Status LED on top of unit

will illuminate indicating

“on” status.

6. Plug thepower cordfrom

the test load into the

inverter’s AC receptacle.

Testing

Theinverter will comeon

automatically. It should supply

power to the load. If the

inverter does not appear to

work properly, refer to the

Troubleshooting Guide on

page7.

The location where you should

use your CPI 150 must be:

•dry–Do not use the unit

where water can drip or

splash on it.

•cool–Ambient air

temperature should be

between 30˚ and 105˚ F

(0˚ and 40˚ C). The cooler

the better.

•ventilated–Allow at least

1inch (3 cm) of clearance

around the unit for proper

air flow.Make sure that

ventilation openings on the

ends of the unit are not

obstructed.

To prevent fire, do not cover

or obstruct ventilation

openings.

The inverter must only

be connected to batteries

with a nominal output

voltage of 12 volts. It will

not work with a 6 volt

battery, and will be

damaged if it is connected

to a 16 volt battery.

4CONTROLS & INDICATORS

Powering Up

To apply power to the CPI 150,

simply plug in to 12 Volt DC

source (cigarette lighter or

airplane power source).

Power/Fault Indicator

The "fault" indicator of your

CPI 150 will light whenever

the unit detects excessively

high or low input voltage, or

begins to overheat.

CAUTION NOTE: Makesure

you unplug inverter from

power source before you

leave your vehicle.

OPERATING LIMITS

INPUT VOLTAGE/AUTO SHUTDOWN

Power Output

AC Output:

Your CPI 150 will deliver

150 watts continuously. It

can deliver 180 watts for

about 30 minutes, after

which it must cool for

about 15 minutes before

it can resume operation at

150 watts. (NOTE: the

wattage rating applies to

resistive loads.)

USB Output:

5 Volt continuous output.

Input Voltage

Your CPI 150 will operate

from input voltage ranging

from 10 to 15 volts.

Optimum performance occurs

when the voltage is between

12 and 14 volts.

The inverter will automatically

shut down if the input

voltage drops below 10.0 ±

0.3 volts. This protects the

battery from being over-

discharged. The inverter will

restart when the input voltage

exceeds 12.0 ± 0.3 volts.

The inverter will also shut down

if the input voltage increases

to 15.5 ± 0.5 volts. This helps

protect the unit from damage

due to excessive input voltage.

Although theinverter is

protected in this way, it may

still be damaged should the

input voltage exceed 16 volts.

Automatic Shutdown

The unit will automatically go

into thermal shutdown if it

becomes overheated due to

excessive input voltage, poor

circulation or high ambient

temperature.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

Maintaining Your

Inverter

Your CPI 150 requires very

little maintenance to keep it

operating properly. The

exterior of the unit should be

cleaned periodically with a

damp cloth to prevent

accumulation of dust and dirt.

Keep vents and fans free from

dust or debris.
