Introduction
DC Fuse Replacement (For Cigar Plug)
Thank you for choosing the CyberPower CPS150SI AC Mobile Power Inverter. To
enjoy all the features and beneꢀts of CPS150SI, please read and follow all
instructions completely.
The CPS150SI contains a fuse inside in the lighter adapter (see Figure 2) to
protect the unit against overloading. If the inverter draws more than 150 watts,
the internal fuse may open to protect the inverter, vehicle battery, and the
connected equipment. To replace the fuse, please follow the instructions below:
The CyberPower CPS150SI AC Mobile Power Inverter is a plug-and-play, portable
source of 110/120 volt AC power. The AC Mobile Power converts DC battery
power from your vehicle into standard 110/120 volt AC power, allowing you to
power most notebook computers, cell phone chargers, camcorders, and other
electronic products drawing 150 watts or less of AC power.
1. Unplug the inverter from the power source.
2. Remove the contact retainer from the 12V DC adapter.
3. Replace the 15 amp fuse.
4. Reassemble the fuse, contact pin, and contact screw carefully.
5. Ensure all pieces shown in Figure 2 are installed in the correct sequence.
* Note: For in-warranty units, the replacement fuse can be obtained from CyberPower Technical Support.
