Suggestions When Using Your SOLAR Power Inverter to Power Television and Audio Devices:
Although your SOLAR power inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with
your television and audio equipment may be unavoidable, particularly when they have weak signals. Here are a few
suggestions to improve your reception under these circumstances:
1. Make sure the television/audio antenna on the device produces a clear signal under normal operating
conditions (when plugged into a standard 110 Volt AC outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna is properly
shielded and of good quality.
2. Change the positions of the power inverter, antenna, and tv/audio power cord to see if a change in their
relative positions improves your reception.
3. Isolate the television/audio device, its power cord and antenna cables from the power inverter and 12 Volt
power source by running an extension cord from the television/audio device power cord to the inverter.
4. Coil the television power cord and the power cables running from the 12 Volt power source to the power
inverter.
5. Attach a “Ferrite Data Line Filter”, available at most electronic supply stores, to the television/audio device
power cord. More than one filter may be required.
Maintenance
Maintenance and Care
A minimum amount of care can keep your power inverter working and looking good for years:
• Check your battery and DC input connections regularly to ensure that they are tight and free of corrosion.
• Wipe off any battery fluid at the battery connection. Battery fluid may be neutralized with a solution of water
and baking soda.
• Ensure that the inverter has several inches of space around all sides and the top for air circulation.
• Ensure that any cables (DC or AC) that are routed though partitions or other obstructions are free from
abrasion.
• If needed, wipe the case clean with a soft cloth.
Replacing Blown Fuses
Your SOLAR power inverter is equipped with fuses of specific amperage rating and physical design. In most cases,
the fuses should not need to be replaced. If replacement is necessary, it is important that you purchase and install
the correct replacement fuse(s). Please reference the chart below to determine the correct fuse(s) for your product.
Model No. No. of Fuses Fuse Rating Fuse Type
PI5000X 2 30 Amp Mini Blade
PI10000X 4 30 Amp Mini Blade
PI15000X 6 30 Amp Mini Blade
PI20000X 8 30 Amp Mini Blade
ALWAYS disconnect your SOLAR power inverter from the 12 Volt power source and disconnect any equipment
powered prior to opening the inverter cabinet attempting to replace the fuse(s). ALWAYS use the proper
replacement fuse(s) as indicated in the chart above. Make sure to address the root source of the overload that
caused the blown fuse prior to using your power inverter again.
