7 PROTECTIVE FEATURES
Your machine monitors the following potentially
hazardous conditions:
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION – If the
temperature inside the inverter is too high, the unit will
automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at
least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat related
shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION – This
condition is not harmful to the inverter but could damage
the power source. The inverter automatically shuts
down when input voltage drops to 56 volts. When the
condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted.
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION – The inverter will
automatically shut down when the input voltage
exceeds 85 volts DC.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION – The inverter will
automatically shut down when the continuous draw
exceeds rated watts.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION – The inverter will
shut down. Remove the short circuit and restart the
inverter after 5 minutes.

8 WORKING PRINCIPLE
The inverter converts low voltage DC (Direct Current)
from a BAD BOY 80V lithium battery to standard 120-
volt AC (Alternating Current) household power.
9 THE OUTPUT WAVEFORM
The AC output waveform of the PI80B00300 inverter is
known as “modified sine wave”. It is a waveform that
has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of
utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most
AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies
used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors.
The modified sine wave produced by the PI80B00300
inverter has an RMS (root mean square) voltage of
120 volts, which is the same as standard household
power. Most AC voltmeters (both digital and analog)
are sensitive to the average value of the waveform
rather than the RMS value. They are calibrated for
RMS voltage under the assumption that the waveform
measured will be a pure sine wave. These meters will
not read the RMS voltage of a modified sine wave
correctly. They will read about 20 to 30 volts low
when measuring the output of the inverter. For accurate
measurement of the output voltage of this unit, use a
true RMS reading voltmeter.
10 RECYCLE
Separate collection. You must not dis-
card with usual household waste. If it is
necessary to replace the machine, or if it
is no more use to you, do not discard it
with household waste.
Separate collection of used machine
and packaging let you recycle materi-
als and use them again. Use of the re-
cycled materials helps prevent environ-
mental pollution and decreases the re-
quirements for raw materials.
At the end of their useful life, discard
batteries with a precaution for our envi-
ronment. The battery contains material
that is dangerous to you and the envi-
ronment. You must remove and discard
these materials separately at a location
that accepts lithium-ion batteries.

The inverter is
shielded to mini-
mize interfer-
ence with TV
signals. The
problem may not
be with the inver-
ter. However, in
some instances,
some interfer-
ence may still be
visible, particu-
larly with weak
TV signals.
Position the inverter as far
as possible from the tel-
evision, the antenna and
the antenna cables. Use
an extension cable, if nec-
essary.
Adjust the orientation of
the inverter, the antenna
cables and the TV power
cord to minimize interfer-
ence.
Make sure that the an-
tenna feeding the televi-
sion provides an adequate
(“snow free”) signal and
that high quality, shielded
antenna cable is used.
