AC Outlet(sk

Connect equipment to the PowerVerter's receptacles that are designed to run on 120VAC electric

power (computers, fax machines, televisions, etc.). Be sure equipment that is plugged into the

PowerVerter has a wattage draw

equal to or less than

the maximum continuous output of the

PowerVerter (140watts maximum for the PV 140and 300 watts maximum for the PV 300).

4.3 Direct Connection Operation

(PV

300 only)

Connecting the PV 300's cigarette lighter plug (as described above) will support most of your

equipment. However, if you plan on connectingmore than 240 watts to the PV 300, you

MUST

connect the inverter directly to the battery. To connect the PV 300 directly to the battery, first

purchaseaBattery Lead Adapter available

at most automotive stores. It consistsof a

cigarette lighter receptacle (that you plug

the PV 300 into) and two battery leads

(whichyou connect directly to the battery

terminals) (See diagram at right).
