Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Wagan Tech 180 Watt Pure Sine Wave DC to

AC Power Inverter. It delivers a true sine wave AC identical to that of commercial

power. Use this inverter to power AC appliances in your vehicle. Pure Sine Wave

AC means that your sensitive electronics such as audio/video systems, computers

and communications equipment will operate properly. Furthermore, appliances with

motors operate cooler, quieter and more efﬁciently when they are powered by sine

wave AC.

This inverter is powered from 12 volts DC and it will continuously deliver 180

watts (360 Watts momentary peak) AC power at 120 Volts, 60 Hz. Superior

surge capability of 360 watts allows the inverter to start most difﬁcult motorized

appliances. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits run cooler and are more

reliable than competing units.

It also operates at high efﬁciency (up to 90%) that results in long run time and

extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output.

A USB Power Port provides a convenient way to power USB appliances or charge

cell phones, PDAs and personal audio-video devices.

This Wagan 180 watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an indispensable addition to your

compliment of mobile power equipment. With minimal care and proper treatment it

will provide years of reliable service.

Read and understand this manual before installing and operating this inverter. Keep

this manual for future use.

• Keep the inverter away from any direct heat source or combustible materials.

• Keep well ventilated—this device generates heat.

• Keep the inverter away from combustible gases.

• Do not continuously operate any equipment over 180 watts.

• This inverter is designed to operate from a 12 volt DC power source only.

• Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including

any AC power source.

• Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.

• Keep this inverter in a dry environment.

• Do not open the inverter; there are no user serviceable parts inside.

WARNING

INVERTER OUTPUT CAN BE LETHAL. IMPROPER USE OF THIS INVERTER

MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF

LIFE.

Front

The Front Panel view shows the inverter’s ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC Outlet

and USB Power Port.

• ON/OFF Switch — This switch controls AC output of the inverter.

• Operating LED (Green) — When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating

normally.

• FAULT LED (Red) — This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down

because of: Excessive Temperature, Overload, Under Voltage or Over

voltage.

Immediately turn off all AC appliances if the FAULT LED is lit. Allow the

inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents are not

blocked.

User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment

If an inverter “shutdown” was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may

excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem.

• AC Outlet — This outlet can supply up to 1.5 Amps at 120V AC 60 Hz

• USB Power Port — This power port can supply 5 volts at 500 mA for

charging or powering cell phones, PDA’s, GPS and other small electronic

devices.

• Audible Alarm (internal to the inverter) — When the Audible Alarm makes

a buzzing sound, the inverter senses a low battery condition. The user

should reduce the AC load, charge the battery, and check the DC cable for

excessive losses.

era

The startup load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter can

power it.

Startup load is momentary. With many appliances, it is approximately twice the

continuous load, but some appliance startup loads can be as high as eight times the

continuous load.

To determine if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, run a test. This

inverter will automatically shut down in the event of an output overload, so there is

no danger of damaging either the inverter or the equipment. When lit, a red LED

indicator signals a fault.

Maximum Power from Switched Accessory Sockets

Most vehicular accessory sockets that are controlled through a vehicle’s ignition

switch are fused at 15 Amps. This limits inverter output to approximately 140 watts.

A user has some options to power appliances to 180 watts.

1. Install a separate fused DC accessory socket wired to the vehicle’s battery.

Fuse this circuit at 20 Amps.

2. Change Inverter power cords and wire a fused cable to the vehicle’s battery.

Fuse this circuit at 20 Amps.

There is no danger in leaving the inverter directly wired to the battery if the inverter

is turned OFF after use. Further, all inverters will shut off when the battery discharges

to 9.5 volts. This battery voltage is still enough to allow the vehicle to start.

Determining Maximum Appliance Wattage

Do not exceed the 180 watt maximum AC load or the inverter will shut down.

Most other electrical tools, appliances, and audio/video equipment have labels

that list the unit’s power requirements in watts. If the tool or device is rated in amps,

www.wagan.com

multiply the amps by 120 (120V AC) to determine the watts. For example, an

appliance rated at 0.5 amps will draw 60 watts.

WATTS = VOLTS × AMPS

Remember to consider the startup surge that motorized appliances will cause. Do

not exceed the 360 watt momentary surge rating of this inverter. This can cause

immediate overload shut down and or blow a fuse. A fuse protects the Accessory or

Lighter Socket.

Connecting the Inverter

1. Connect the red and black prongs of the supplied DC Adapter Cord into the

inverter.

Be sure to insert them into the correct polarity terminals on the rear of the

inverter. Reverse polarity connection will blow the fuse in the inverter and can

permanently damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity will

void the warranty.

2. Connect the Plug end of the DC Adapter Cable into your vehicle’s 12V DC

accessory outlet. You may need to place the ignition switch to Accessory

Position if the vehicle engine is not operating.

3. Plug the AC appliance cord into the inverter’s AC receptacle, and/or your

USB appliance into the USB Power Port.

4. Place the ON/OFF power switch in the ON position. The green LED should

turn on, indicating the inverter is powered and operating normally.

5. While the Inverter is not in use, place the inverter’s ON/OFF Power Switch

to the OFF position, and optionally unplug the DC Adapter cable from the

vehicle’s DC outlet.

Operating Issues: Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.

Although all inverters are shielded and ﬁltered to minimize signal interference, some

interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak

signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception.

• Make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal

operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 110/120V AC

wall outlet). Also ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded and of

good quality.

• Sometimes vehicle alternators produce some electrical noise. There are ﬁlters

available to mount on the alternator to reduce noise.

• Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television power

cord.

• Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12 volt

power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the television

set.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage – Fault LED Lit

Reason Solution

Poor contact with battery, inverter

terminals or DC socket.

Clean terminals thoroughly. Reinstall

and tighten. Clean DC socket with non-

metallic abrasive emery stick.

PROBLEM: No Output Voltage – No LEDs Lit

Reason Solution

Fuse blown Check vehicle’s Accessory Socket Fuse

and if blown, replace with the same

type and rating fuse.

PROBLEM: Inverter is Shut Down – Fault LED Lit

Reason Solution

Battery voltage below 10 Volts Charge or replace battery.

Inverter is too hot (thermal shut down

mode).

• Allow inverter to cool.

• Check for adequate ventilation.

• Reduce the load on the inverter to

rated continuous power output.
