• Model #2021000 Inverter for 12V DC power
• Model #2021100 Inverter for 24V DC power

The #2021 Series inverter is designed to power fluorescent fixtures for transportation using a battery source or anywhere 12V or 24V DC power is available. Encased in a rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure, the 2021 is entirely epoxy-encapsulated to provide a high degree of resistance to moisture and vibration. It is also fuse-protected to prevent possible overheating.


• INPUT #2021000 - 12V DC @ 2.5A
• INPUT #2021100 - 24V DC @ 1.5A
• OUTPUT - Operates one fluorescent tube rated from 15 to 40 W
• WEIGHT - 13 oz. (0.36 kg.)




NOTE: It is preferred that an interrupter socket be used so that when lamp is removed, power to inverter is discontinued.


This inverter was designed as a separate unit for the #2011 fixture. These units invert the direct current of a battery to the alternating power required to fire and sustain the lighting of fluorescent tubes. The units contain quality solid-state devices and discrete components for reliability. The units are encapsulated to improve vibration specifications. Critical heat sensitive components are heat sunk to the chassis to eliminate possibilities of thermal damage. The input power requirements are 12.4 volts DC nominal at 2.75 amperes. Mounted on the chassis is a circuit interrupting socket, so that when the tube is removed no input is accepted.

The units have three connecting power wires:
1. Black - Battery negative (ground)
2. Red - Battery positive
3. White - Lamp output

Trouble shooting procedures:
No light output:
• Replace fluorescent tube
• Verify power to unit connections
• Replace inverter unit

Electrical Specifications:
  Minimum Maximum
Input Voltage 10 volts 15 volts
Input Current 2.6 amps 3.0 amps
(Frequency 2,500 cycles)


Recommended tube lengths: 2 feet - 20 watt / 4 feet - 40 watt. 6 foot and longer tubes may draw excessive current and are not recommended for use with this style inverter.

Mounting Requirements:
1. Unit should be attached to a good chassis or equivalent ground
2. Unit must be attached to a material which will act as a heat sink (steel, aluminum, brass, etc.)
