LVYUAN 200W Car Power Inverter User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your LVYUAN 200W Car Power Inverter. This device converts 12V DC power from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket into 110V AC power, along with 20W Power Delivery (PD) USB-C and 18W Quick Charge (QC) USB-A outputs, enabling you to power and charge various electronic devices on the go.

2. Safety Instructions

• Water and Damp Conditions: Avoid exposing the inverter to water or damp environments. Internal components may become hazardous if wet.
• Device Wattage Compatibility: Always ensure that the total wattage of your electronic devices does not exceed the inverter's maximum output of 200 watts. Excessive power consumption can cause the internal fuse to blow.
• Vehicle Operation: For optimal performance and to prevent draining your car battery, it is recommended to use the inverter while the vehicle's engine is running.
• Inductive Loads: This inverter is not designed to power inductive electrical appliances such as induction cooktops or microwave ovens.
• Protection Features: The inverter is equipped with smart sensing chips to protect against overheating, undervoltage, overcurrent, overvoltage, overload, and short circuits. If the LED indicator turns red, it signifies a fault condition.
• Cigarette Lighter Socket Limits: Be aware that some vehicle cigarette lighter sockets are designed for lower consumption (e.g., 120W), which may reduce the inverter's effective capacity. Consult your car's manual for specific limits.

7. Maintenance

• Keep Dry: Always keep the inverter away from water and damp conditions to prevent damage and ensure safety.
• Starting Vehicle: Disconnect the inverter or ensure it is turned off before starting your car to avoid potential power surges.
• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior of the inverter. Do not use liquid cleaners.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Power Output:
  • Check if the inverter is securely plugged into the cigarette lighter socket.
  • Ensure the vehicle's engine is running.
  • Verify the LED indicator is blue/green. If red, a protection mode is active.
  • Check the wattage of connected devices; they might exceed the 200W limit, causing the internal fuse to blow. Replace the fuse if necessary (refer to a qualified technician).
• Red LED Indicator: A red light indicates that one of the inverter's safety protections has been activated (e.g., overheating, undervoltage, overcurrent, overvoltage, overload, or short circuit). Disconnect all devices, turn off the inverter, and allow it to cool down if overheating is suspected. Reconnect after a few minutes.
• Device Not Charging: Ensure the device is properly connected to the correct port (AC, USB-C, or USB-A) and that the device's charging requirements are compatible with the inverter's output.
