Inverter by Wagan Tech

With normal care and proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service. It

is important to read, understand, and comply with these instructions before using

this inverter. Keep this User’s Manual for future reference.

This inverter is powered from a 12 volt DC source and provides 120 volts AC 60

Hz through two North American standard outlets to AC appliances up to 120

watts. The AC waveform is a modiﬁed sine wave (MSW), which approximates

the sine wave of household electrical service. An attached DC power cord

connects to a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket for easy operation.

WARNINGS

Most vehicle cigarette lighter sockets are fused at 10A or 15A. When using a

vehicle cigarette lighter socket, do not exceed 120W or 180W respectively.

Doing so will blow the vehicle cigarette socket fuse.

• Keep the inverter away from children.

• Electrical shock hazard: Don’t operate the inverter with wet hands!

• This device produces a voltage similar to wall outlets at home and should be

treated with the same caution.

• If you use a battery charger to recharge your battery, be sure to disconnect

the inverter ﬁrst. Failure to disconnect the inverter prior to connecting a

charger may result in an input voltage spike that can damage the inverter.

• Powering this inverter with voltage greater than 15V DC can damage the

inverter and void the warranty.

• Do not use an extension cord between the DC power source and the DC

input of the inverter. An extension cord on the DC input can create a voltage

drop that can reduce efﬁciency and output.

• Do not open the casing of the inverter. There are no serviceable parts inside.

• Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance cord get wet. Don’t

operate this inverter in or around water. Water can damage the inverter.

Water damage is not covered under warranty.

OPERATION

The 12 volt supply must provide between 10 volts to 14.5 volts DC. Do not

connect the inverter's AC output to another AC power source; damage will result,

voiding the inverter’s warranty.

1. Make sure the inverter is not plugged in the vehicle DC socket prior to

starting the engine.

2. Check the wattage requirements of your mobile devices. Total wattage can

not exceed 120 watts.

3. Start your vehicle engine.

4. Insert the DC plug into the vehicle's DC accessory socket (cigarette lighter

socket).

5. Connect AC plug or USB connector to the inverter.

6. Turn on the power switch on.

7. Turn on your mobile device.

8. The blue LED will light up to conﬁrm that AC output is present.

9. After use, turn off the inverter and disconnect the plug from the

accessory socket.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the inverter does not appear to be functioning, check the following possible

causes:

• DC receptacle has no power: Check fuse in lighter socket circuit and replace

any blown fuse with same type and rating.

• Battery voltage is too low: Start the engine or recharge the battery.

• Inverter suddenly stops working: Check the charge on the battery and make

sure the devices connected to the inverter do not exceed the 120W rating.

• Thermal overload: Under heavy loads, for extended periods of time, the

inverter will shut down to prevent damage from excess heat. Reduce the load

and allow the inverter to cool before restarting the inverter.
