AC Anywhere – Instructions and Information:
Belkin Components manufactures a line of DC to AC Inverters with 140 and
300-Watt capacities. These Inverters offer advanced technology, dependable
operation and will provide years of reliable service when used in accordance
with our operating instructions.
Belkin’s Inverters convert low voltage, direct (DC) current to 230 volts
(F5C412uk140Watt & F5C412uk300Watt, 240 volts) alternating (AC)
household current. Depending on the model and its rated capacity, Belkin
Inverters draw power either from standard 12-volt automobile and marine
batteries, or from portable, high-power 12-volt sources.
The Belkin inverter can not be used with 24 volts (trucks) battery power.
Important Information:
This manual will provide you with directions for the safe and efficient
operation of your Belkin 140-Watt, or 300-Watt Inverter. Read the manual
carefully before using your new Belkin Inverter and keep the manual on file
for future reference.
Note:
• Your Belkin Inverter is designed to operate from a 12-volt power source
only. Never attempt to connect your Inverter to any other power source
including any AC power sources.
• 240 volts of current can be lethal. Improper use of your Belkin Inverter may
result in property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Getting Off to a Good Start:
In order to ensure that the capacity of your Belkin Inverter is sufficient to
meet the required start up load, you must first determine the power
consumption of the equipment or appliance you plan to operate.
Power consumption is rated either in wattage or in amperes. Information
regarding the required “watts” or “amps” is generally printed on most
appliances or equipment. If the power consumption is rated in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 230 (AC voltage) – (F5C412uk140Watt &
F5C412uk300Watt, 240 volts) – to determine the comparable wattage rating.
As a general rule, you can determine the by required start-up load
multiplying the wattage rating by 20.
Don’t Push It:
Although your Belkin Inverter has the capacity to provide power output
equal to approximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a very brief
period, it is designed to operate equipment with start-up load wattage
ratings no higher than its own maximum continuous wattage rating.
