WELCOMEThis Superex product has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you dependable operation. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating your new product as it contains the information you need to become familiar with its features and obtain the performance that will bring you continued enjoyment for many years. Please keep this manual on file for future reference

JUMSTART SYSTEM MUST BE FULLY CHARGED FOR 38 HOURS BEFORE FIRST USE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE BATTERY. (See section on charging)

OPERATING AS A POWER SUPPLY

The Portable Power Station is capable of supplying power for 110V AC household products and 12V DC products up to the rated capacity of the unit. The length of time the product will operate will depend on the condition of the battery and the current draw of the appliance. Low wattage appliances can be operated for several hours while higher wattage products will operate for less time. A reference chart with some typical operating times is enclosed for your reference.

INVERTER SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum continuous Output Power - 200W Output Surge Capacity - 400W

DC 12 VOLT SOCKET SPECIFICATIONS : Maximum Output Power - 10A *Actual wattage of different models may vary.**Approximate running time for reference only based on fully charged battery and model used. Actual running

time may vary based on model load and battery condition.

FOR 110V AC HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS 1.1 Introduction The Portable Power Station is equipped with a 200 watt power inverter that converts the power from the internal battery to standard 110 volt AC household power. The Power Inverter supplies 200 watts of continuous power with 400 watts of surge power. When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes, it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred to as the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is referred to as the “continuous load” in terms of power requirements.

You will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to start up and its continued running power requirements. Power consumption is rated either in wattages (watts) or in amperes (amps).Multiply: AMPS X 110 (AC voltage) = WATTS This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliances.Multiply: WATTS x 2 = Starting Load This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of your appliances.Most often the start up load of the appliance or power tool determines whether the inverter has the capability to power it.

CAUTIONKnow the wattage requirements of your appliances. Use only those appliances that do not exceed the capacity of this unit.

The output waveform of this inverter is a MODIFIED SINE WAVE. It has a total harmonic distortion of 28% and maximum single harmonic of 18%. If you choose to measure the AC output voltage, you must use a TRUE RMS VOLT METER such as a Fluke 8060A, Fluke 87, Triplett 4200, Beckman 4410 or any “True RMS” multimeter. Using any other type of voltage measuring device will result in an AC voltage reading of 20 to 30 volts lower than the rated value.

CAUTIONSome equipment including the types listed below may be damaged by the inverter's modified sine wave output (non-sinusoidal).

Do not use the following with this Power Station: · Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.· Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances, and other loads may be damaged.· Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged.· Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.· Some chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.· Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.

Note: If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact the equipment manufacturer to determine the appliance's compatibility with the modified sine wave (non-sinusoidal) AC waveform.

1.2 Operating instructions

Before using the inverter, ensure that the battery of your Power Station is fully charged. Place the inverter power switch in the on position. The green LED light will come on to confirm that the AC outlet is powered. If the AC product you are operating has a power switch, we recommend that it be put in the “off” position. Plug product into the AC outlet and proceed to use according to the directions on the product. The Power Station will operate most devices rated up to 200 watts. The AC Power supply is equipped with a low battery alarm and an automatic shut down feature to protect the unit if the battery power drops below the safe recharging level. If the alarm sounds while you are operating an AC product, shut off the device immediately and discontinue use until the Power Station battery can be recharged. Turn inverter off and disconnect the AC product. Recharge battery as soon as possible and before further use. If you ignore the warning alarm, the power supply will automatically shut down and your AC product will instantly lose power.

The AC power supply function is also protected against overloads and overheating. If either of these conditions should occur, the red LED fault indicator light will go on and the power supply will automatically shut down.

NOTE 1: Operating a TV When operating a TV monitor or TV/VCR combo, please note that picture tubes have a degaussing coil, which uses a high initial surge of power to light up the screen from a “cold start”. If the TV does not start up on the first try, switch the TV on every 2-3 seconds until the screen comes on. Some screens may take 2-5 tries before starting.

NOTE 2: Operating with an extension cord We recommend that you use an extension cord no longer that 100 ft. Between the AC output and AC appliance. A longer cord may result in reduced output.

NOTE 3: Extended Operating with an external battery.

You can extend the Power Station operating times by connecting it to a larger external battery. For example, an external 60 Ah battery gives approximately four times the operating time of the Power Station's internal battery.

Make sure the Booster Cable safety switch is in the off position. Remove cables from holder and connect the red positive (+) clip of the cables to the red positive (+) terminal of the external battery. Connect the black negative (-) clip of the cables to the black negative(-) terminal of the external battery. Turn cable safety switch to the on position for supplemental power.

WARNING! SPARKING & EXPLOSION · Never allow boosting cables' red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal

conductor. This action could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.· Boosting cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to

negative (black clamp to battery “-” ). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.

WARNING! ACID· Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use. Common auto and marine batteries are not suitable for

indoor use unless their fumes are vented outdoors. Common auto and marine batteries contain acid, which is hazardous if spilled.

· Always wear eye protection when working with batteries.· If battery acid comes into contact with eyes, flush the eyes with water for at least 10 minutes. Seek

medical attention immediately.· If skin or clothing comes into contact with battery acid, immediately wash the affected area with soap and

water. Seek medical attention. After use is completed, turn cable switch off and disconnect unit from the external battery. Remove black

negative (-) clip first, then remove red positive (+) clip. Restore cables in storage compartment and recharge Power Station battery as soon as possible and before next use.
