Troubleshoot
Under Voltage Alarm
Use a multi-meter to check the voltage of the battery. Make
sure the battery voltage is not below the rated specification
of the inverter. The inverters have an input requirement of
at least 10.5 ± 0.5 volts. Disconnect battery if necessary.
Over Voltage Alarm
Use a multi-meter to check the voltage of the battery. Make
sure the battery voltage is not exceeding the rated
specification of the inverter. The maximum input voltage
should not be exceeding 16 volts.
Over Load Protection
Turn off the inverter and check the rated specification for
the electronic device(s). Be sure to check that the watts
(volts * amps) does not exceed the specification for the
inverter. Be very cautious if using power strips as they can
be clear indicator for overload for inverters.
Also, some electronic devices may require an initial high
power surge start. Make sure all AC appliances are off
before turning on the inverter’s power switch.
Short Circuit
A short might occur down the DC line connecting to the
inverter. Check the battery connections going to the
inverter and ensure that there is continuity. If there is an in-
line fuse installed, check to make sure the fuse has not
blown. Reset the inverter by turning it off for approximately
5 seconds and powering it back on.
Other Considerations
Battery cables are
connected to the
inverter but it does
not power on
The inverter needs a minimum of 10.5 volts to operate. Use
a multi-meter to make sure the battery levels are suitable
for operation. If all checks out, check the wire connections
and inspect for any breaks or tears.
There is no AC output
or LED indicator
lights on
Make sure the inverter is switched to Power saver on or
Power saver off.
The battery charger
turns off while
connected to an
external AC source
The AC input voltage is not within the acceptable range.
Idle draw from
inverter
When the inverter is switched on, the circuitry inside is
activated. Even if there is no load on the AC side of the
inverter, users will experience a small amount of current
draw to keep the circuitry within the inverter ready to power.
It is recommended to turn off the inverter when not in use.
The inverter is only
able to run AC loads
for a short period of
time
This will happen when the battery voltage is low. Check
battery voltage and resume running loads when battery
voltage is above 12.7 volts.
