4. Introduction: 4-1.Inverter Operation Switch the power ON, then the power inverter is ready to supply AC power to the loads. Turn on the loads separately after the inverter is ON to prevent OVP status caused by the surge power. 4-1-1. Switch the power ON, then the buzzer will send out beep sound. At the moment, the inverter is doing self-diagnosis. Then the LED’s indicators will also show various colors.

Troubleshooting WARNING Do not open or disassemble the ST series Inverter. Attempting to service the unit may cause the risk of electrical shock or fire.
Problems and Symptoms Possible Cause No AC Power “Output” STATUS illuminates the LED Solutions a. Power status light is blinking fast. Over input voltage. (OVP) Check input voltage Reduce input voltage. b. Power status light is Blinking slowly. Low input voltage. (UVP) Recharge battery. Check connections and cables. c. Power status light is blinking Intermittently. Thermal shutdown. (OTP) Improve ventilation. Make sure ventilation, shafts of the inverter are not obstructed.
