Powering Specifications PowerSource Model RINV500 Max Continuous power Watts 500w 1 2 hour 400w 4hrs Peak Power Watts 0 01 Seconds 800w No load current draw AMPS lt 0 2A Waveform Modified Sine Cable length Im Cable diameter 7mm Efficiency Approximately 90 Input Voltage Range 10 15v DC AC Socket 3 Pin Mains BS Approved Fuse 35 amps x2 Weight kgs 1 5 Dimensions mm Percentage of battery power converted to mains voltage power Troubleshooting Guide Symptom AC appliance will not operate the audible alarm is sounding AC appliance will not operate the audible alarm is not sounding Run time is less than expected 230 x 107 x 60 Possible causes 1 Battery has discharged to 10v 2 The inverter has overheated This could be due to poor ventilation 3 Poor battery condition 1 Inverter is overloaded 2 Internal fuses have blown 1 Battery is not fully charged 2 AC appliance power consumption is higher than expected Does not include packaging Possible solution urn off the inverter on off switch and recharge the battery urn off the inverter and allow to cool for 10 mins Replace battery Reduce load not exceeding maximum rating Fuse replacement qualified electrician only Recharge the battery Check AC appliance wattage rating is within scope of inverter For further assistance Technical Helpline
5. current to operate the load the item you require to power The power supply may be a battery or a regulated DC power supply In order to find out if your power supply is big enough divide the power consumption of the load in Watts by the voltage 12v DC in the case of the PowerSource this will give you the current in amps that the power supply must deliver EXAMPLE Load is rated at 100 watts Power supply must be able to deliver 100 12 8 3 amps CAUTION THE RINV500 MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO BATTERIES OR REGULATED POWER SUPPLY WITH A NOMINAL DC OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF 12 VOLTS THE POWERSOURCE WILL NOT OPERATE ABOVE 15 VOLTS CAUTION DO NOT USE WITH POSITIVE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IF USING DIRECTLY FROM VEHICLE BATTERY The majority of modern cars have negative ground electrical systems If you are in any doubt please check with a qualified auto electrician or your local vehicle main dealer Connecting to power supply RINV500 Switch off the RINV500 PowerSource The RINV500 PowerSource comes complete with two cables that are to be connected onto the back of the PowerSource using the sockets Do not over tighten and check no wire is exposed Observe correct polarity Red positive Black negative The other end with the crocodile clips are then clamped to the battery terminals again be sure to observe the correct polarity Connecting your PowerSource Connect the PowerSource input to the vehicle leisure battery using the
