INSTRUCTIONS FOR:DC TO AC POWER INVERTERMODEL NO’s: DPI150 DPI300

Thank you for purchasing a Soyond product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions. and maintained properly, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT: SPECIFICALLY, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS INVERTER SHOULD NOT BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM OR OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT OR DEVICES. BEFORE USING THE INVERTER, YOU NEED READ AND SAVE THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to Instruction Manual

1. SAFETY

DANGER! - Beware, Misusing or incorrectly connecting the SOYONDDPI may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following safety instructions and pay special attention to all Caution and Warning statements in the guide. Warnings identify conditions that may result in personal injury and lose of life. Cautions identify conditions or practices that may damage the unit or other equipment.KEEP AWAY from children. DPI series inverter generates the same potentiallylethal AC power as a normal household wall outlets. Treat it with the same repect that you would any AC outlets.

DO NOT insert any objects into AC outlets or fan hole.DO NOT expose the DPI150/300 to water, rain, snow or spray.DO NOT connect DPI150/300 to power utility AC distribution wiring under anycircumstances. DPI150/300 housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) underextended high power operation.

DO NOT use DPI150/300 in the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks.

DO NOT use the in an enclosure containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.

DO NOT replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehiclecan supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. Information on the vehicle fuse rating is typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual.If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. On no account should fuses be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit orcause fire.

CAUTION: Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to DPI150/300.

DO NOT use the inverter with the following appliances:• Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.• Battery chargers used in hand power tools. These chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the charger battery terminals.

SAFETY FEATURES• Overload protection with automatic shutdown• Low battery voltage shutdown• High-input voltage protection with automatic shutdown• Overheat protection with automatic shutdown• Output short circuit protection.

ENSURE at least 2 inches of air space is all sides of DPI150/300 during operation.KEEP AWAY from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.

DPI150 and DPI300 is capable of continuously powering most 110 volt AC products that use 120W and 240W or less. Its AC output waveform is modified sine wave, is designed to function similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power. Most AC products rated for 120W and 240W or less will operate normally with DPI150 and DPI300.

The power or wattage rating of AC products is the average power they use. Whenmany AC products are first switched on, the initially consume more power than theirpower rating. TVs, monitors and electric motors are examples of products that have high surge power as high as 300W and 600W. Ocaasionally some products rated less than 120W and 240W may exceed its surge capabilities and trigger its safety overload shutdown feature.

>>Indicators controls and connectors● An AC outlets is provided on one end of the inverter. A 110-volt AC products with a continuous power consumption of 120W and 240W or less can be plugged in.● The inverter receiveds its operating power through its DC plug that fits standard vehicle cigarette lighter sockets and 12-volt power outlets.● The ON/OFF switch enables output AC power at the AC outlet when switch on.● The green POWER light indicates AC power is present at AC outlet and the inverters operates normally.● The red FAULT light indicates inverter shutdown caused by low or high battery voltage, overload or excessive temperature.

>>Inverter operation● Plug the inverter DC plug into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter or 12V outlet.● Turn the AC products you need to operate the AC outlet and switch it on. As the battery charge issued up battery voltage will begin to fall. When inverter senses the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 10.7V then audio warning. When input voltage drop to 10.0V this inverter will automatically shut down to prevent battery over discharge. The RED fault light illuminates.

● If the inverter exceeds a safe operation temperature due to insufficient ventilation or a high temperature environment, it will automatically shut down. Then RED fault light will turn on.● In the event of overload, low battery voltage or overheating. The inverter will automatically shut down.

CAUTION! Although the inverter has protection against over voltage, it may still be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16V.

>>Interference with electronic equipmentGenerally most AC products are operated by inverter just as they are driven byhousehold AC power. Below is information concerning two possible exceptions.

(1) Buzz sound in audio systemsSome inexpensive stereo system and boom box have inadequate internal powersupply filtering and buzz slightly when powered by the inverter.

(2) TV signals interferredThe inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However therewill still weak signals interference maybe visible in the form of lines scrollingacross the screen.

>>Interference solution● Use an extension cord to increase distance between inverter and TV.● Adjust the direction of the inverter, antenna and cables.● Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna and use shielded antenna cable if possible.● Try a different TV model. Different models televisions vary considerably in their susceptibility to interference.

>>Battery operating time

5

When using the DPI150/ DPI300 inverter, operating time will vary depending onthe charge level of battery. Its capacity and the power level drawn by particularAC load. With a typical vehicle battery and a 50 watts load(such as a portablestereo/CD player), an operating time of 5-6 hours or more could be expected.

When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly recommendedto start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery before its capacitydrops too low. The inverter can operate while the engine is running. But thenormal voltage drop that occurs during starting mant trigger the inverter’s lowvoltage shutdown feature.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING

● Problem: AC products will not operate. No inverter lights ON.

● Problem: Measured inverter output is too low

Possible cause:Poor contact with lightersocket or 12 volt outlet

(1) Lighter socket or 12 volt outlet may reuquire ignition to be switched on(2) Cigarette lighter or 12volt outlet fuse is blown

Inverter unit has beenconnected with reverseDC input polarity

Check vehicle fuses and replace blown fuse with correct value

Probable inverter damage has occured. Have unit repaired.

Suggestion:Press plug firmly into socket.Clean plug or socket if necessaryTurn key to accessory position

3.

Possible cause:Standard “averagereading”AC voltmeterused to measure outputvoltage, resulting in anapparent reading 5 to 15 V too low.

Suggestion:

Inverter’s “modified sine wave” output requires “true RMS” voltmeter for accurate measurements.

Possible cause:AC product powercomsunption is higherthan rated

Suggestion:Use a large battery to make upfor increased power requirement

Possible cause:AC product(s) connected are rated at more than the inverter’s continuouspower rating; overloadshutdown has occurred.

Suggestion:

Use a product with a powerrating less than the inverter’scontinuous power rating.

Battery voltage is too low

Recharge the battery

Battery is old or defectiveBattery is not being properly charged

Replace battery.Have a vehicle electrial systemchecked by a qualified technician

● Problem: Battery run time is less than expected

● Problem: AC product will not operate, red FAULT light ON
