2. Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the inverter. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Ensure the inverter is connected to a 12V DC power source only.
- Do not connect the inverter to AC distribution wiring or grid power. Reverse connection is strictly forbidden.
- Always ensure the rated power of the inverter is higher than the total wattage of the appliances you intend to connect.
- When connecting multiple devices, calculate their total wattage to avoid overloading the inverter.
- For inductive loads (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines, power tools), choose an inverter with a continuous power rating 3-10 times higher than the appliance's rated power, as these devices have high instantaneous starting power.
- Use the standard battery cables provided. Ensure connections are secure and correct polarity is observed (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- The car cigarette lighter port can only support power consumption within 100W. For higher power devices, direct battery connection is required.
- Keep the inverter in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials.
- Do not expose the inverter to water or excessive moisture.
- Do not open the inverter casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly set up your TATALIKEN Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter:
- Choose a Location: Select a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area for the inverter. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for airflow, especially for the cooling fans.
- Prepare the Power Source: Ensure your vehicle's engine is off before making any connections. Identify the 12V DC battery terminals.
- Connect Battery Cables:
- Connect the red (positive) battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the black (negative) battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the other end of the red (positive) cable to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Connect the other end of the black (negative) cable to the negative (-) terminal of your 12V battery.
WARNING: Ensure correct polarity. Reversing the connections will damage the inverter and may pose a fire hazard.
- Secure Connections: Double-check that all cable connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts, which can cause overheating or power loss.
- Initial Power On: Once all connections are secure, turn on the inverter's main power switch. The digital display should illuminate, showing the battery voltage.

6. Operating Instructions
After successful installation, follow these steps to operate your inverter:
- Turn On the Inverter: Flip the main power switch on the inverter to the "ON" position. The digital display will show the current battery voltage.
- Connect Appliances: Plug your 110V AC appliances into the inverter's output sockets. Ensure the total wattage of all connected appliances does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating.
- Monitor Performance: Observe the inverter's display for battery voltage. If the voltage drops too low, the inverter's low voltage protection will activate, shutting off power to protect your battery.
- Power Off: When you are finished using the inverter, first turn off all connected appliances, then flip the inverter's main power switch to the "OFF" position.
- Disconnect from Battery (Optional): For long-term storage or if not in use for an extended period, it is recommended to disconnect the inverter from the battery.

7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your TATALIKEN Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep Clean: Regularly wipe the exterior of the inverter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure Ventilation: Periodically check that the cooling fans and ventilation openings are free from dust, debris, or obstructions. Blocked vents can lead to overheating.
- Check Connections: Occasionally inspect battery cable connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion. Clean any corrosion with a wire brush and baking soda solution if necessary.
- Storage: When not in use, store the inverter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your inverter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter does not turn on. | Loose battery connections, low battery voltage, faulty fuse. | Check battery cable connections. Ensure battery voltage is sufficient (above 11V for 12V systems). Check and replace internal fuses if necessary (refer to qualified technician). |
| No AC output. | Overload, short circuit, over-temperature, low/high input voltage. | Reduce connected load. Disconnect appliances and restart. Ensure proper ventilation. Check battery voltage. |
| Appliances not working correctly (especially inductive loads). | Insufficient inverter wattage for inductive load's peak power. | Ensure the inverter's peak power rating is 3-10 times the appliance's rated power for inductive loads. Consider a higher wattage inverter if frequently using such devices. |
| LED/energy-saving bulbs flicker or don't work. | Compatibility issues with non-standard bulbs. | The inverter provides pure sine wave output, which is generally compatible. If issues persist, ensure the bulb is a standard type. |
| Inverter shuts down frequently. | Overload, overheating, low battery voltage. | Reduce load, improve ventilation, charge or replace battery. |

9. User Tips
- Battery Capacity: For optimal performance and longer run times, ensure your battery has sufficient capacity (Ah). A general rule is that for a 12V 60AH battery, the continuous power it can supply is approximately 12V * 60AH * 0.8 = 576W. Match your inverter's continuous power to your battery's capability.
- Appliance Types: Differentiate between resistive loads (e.g., computers, televisions, fans, lights) and inductive loads (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines, hand drills, air conditioners). Inductive loads require significantly more power at startup.
- Car Cigarette Lighter Limit: Remember that the car cigarette lighter port is typically limited to 100W. For any appliance exceeding this, always connect the inverter directly to the car battery using the provided clamps.
- Sound System Compatibility: The pure sine wave output is beneficial for sensitive audio equipment, reducing potential interference and ensuring clean power for car sound amplifiers.
