Handy Mains Power Adaptors (270W)

GENERAL. These economic inverters convert battery voltage to 115 or 230V AC, for powering small power tools and domestic appliances, etc. All models have an output power of 300 watts short term, and a continuous power available of 270 watts. Output is either by standard UK 13A or Euro SHUKO or IEC (Kettle type) socket.

The HANDY MAINS is fitted with an audible warning indicating that the battery is becoming discharged. The warning tone gets louder as the battery voltage falls, prompting you to boost the battery.

These units are designed to be permanently installed with direct connection to the battery. A third low current signal lead is for remote on/off control (though the front panel switch provides a manual override if desired). The HANDY MAINS may be mounted on a flat surface using the mounting bracket kit SM 2791.

BATTERY DRAIN: A figure of 1 amp (12V input) or 0.5amp (24V input) for every 10 watts of output load is a good guide. Intermittently used power tools will not significantly drain the battery, but anything used continuously could. Its a good idea to operate with the battery being charged when supplying high power continuously.

CAUTION: This adapter is supplied on the basis of the user determining the suitability for the purpose for which it is to be used. Not for life dependent use. Total Live to Neutral load capacitance must not exceed 0.47uF on 230VAC units or 1.0uf on 115VAC variants.
