The location where you should
use your CPI 150 must be:
• dry–Do not use the unit
where water can drip or
splash on it.
• cool–Ambient air
temperature should be
between 30˚ and 105˚ F
(0˚ and 40˚ C). The cooler
the better.
• ventilated–Allow at least
1 inch (3 cm) of clearance
around the unit for proper
air flow. Make sure that
ventilation openings on the
ends of the unit are not
obstructed.
To prevent fire, do not cover
or obstruct ventilation
openings.
The inverter must only
be connected to batteries
with a nominal output
voltage of 12 volts. It will
not work with a 6 volt
battery, and will be
damaged if it is connected
to a 16 volt battery.
