2. Safety Instructions

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the inverter. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter. Do not block any ventilation openings.
  • Environment: Do not expose the inverter to rain, moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures. Operate in a dry, well-ventilated area.
  • Connection: Connect the inverter directly to a 12V DC power source (e.g., car cigarette lighter socket). Ensure the vehicle's electrical system can support the inverter's power draw.
  • Load Capacity: Do not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating of 300W. The peak power is 600W. Overloading can damage the inverter and connected devices.
  • Protection Features: The inverter includes built-in protections against overheating, under-voltage, over-voltage, short-circuit, overload, and overcharge. If a protection is triggered, the inverter may shut down.
  • Children and Pets: Keep the inverter out of reach of children and pets.
  • Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the inverter. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

4. Setup

  1. Vehicle Preparation: Ensure your vehicle's engine is running or the ignition is in the ACC position to provide stable 12V power and prevent draining the car battery.
  2. Connect to Cigarette Lighter: Insert the inverter's cigarette lighter plug firmly into your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket. The cable length is 80 cm, providing flexibility for placement.
  3. Power On: Flip the power switch on the inverter to the "ON" position. The LED power indicator will illuminate, indicating the inverter is ready for use.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the inverter is set up, you can connect your electronic devices:

  • AC Devices: Plug your 230V AC devices (e.g., laptops, CPAP machines, small lights, game consoles, DVD players) into the AC outlet. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed 300W continuous power.
  • USB Devices: Connect your mobile phones, tablets, or other USB-powered devices to the USB-C (PD 27W) or USB-A (QC 18W) ports for fast charging. Note that the total output for both USB ports combined is 5V/3A Max.
  • Simultaneous Use: You can use the AC outlet and USB ports simultaneously, provided the total power consumption remains within the inverter's limits.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ALLWEI Power Inverter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Inverter not turning on / No power output
  • Loose connection
  • Vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse blown
  • Low vehicle battery voltage
  • Inverter's internal fuse triggered
  • Ensure the cigarette lighter plug is fully inserted.
  • Check and replace the vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse if necessary.
  • Start the vehicle's engine to ensure sufficient battery voltage.
  • If the inverter has an accessible fuse, check and replace it (refer to specifications for fuse type).
Inverter shuts down during operation
  • Overload protection triggered (device wattage too high)
  • Overheating (poor ventilation, prolonged use)
  • Under-voltage or over-voltage protection
  • Short-circuit in connected device or cable
  • Reduce the load by unplugging some devices. Ensure total wattage is below 300W.
  • Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure ventilation openings are clear.
  • Check vehicle battery voltage.
  • Inspect connected devices and cables for damage.
Devices not charging or charging slowly via USB ports
  • Combined USB output exceeds 5V/3A Max
  • Device not compatible with fast charging standards
  • Faulty USB cable
  • Charge one high-power USB device at a time.
  • Ensure your device supports PD 27W or QC 18W for fast charging.
  • Try a different USB cable.
AC outlets are too close for two large plugs
  • Design limitation
  • Use one large plug at a time, or use a short extension cord/power strip if multiple AC devices are needed and their combined wattage is within limits.
