Over temperature 
protection 

Red LED blinking 
intermittently 

Over temperature protection 
indicates that the inverter has shut 
itself down because it has become 
overheated. 

The inverter may overheat if it has 
been operated at power levels above 
its rating or if it has been installed in 
a location which does not allow it to 
properly dissipate heat. The inverter 
automatically restarts once it has 
cooled down. 

Overload 
protection  

 

Red LED solid 

Overload protection indicates that 
the inverter has shut itself down 
because its output circuit has been 
short circuited or drastically 
overloaded. 

Switch the ON / OFF switch to OFF, 
correct the fault condition, and then 
switch the ON / OFF switch back to 
ON. 

5.6 Power Saving Mode  

These Inverters include a power saving mode. When power saving is enabled and 
there is no load present, the inverter will draw approximately three watts of power. 

The LED will be solid green if a load is present, and flashing green once every 
second if there is no load present. If the inverter has just been powered up and 
power saving is enabled, the LED will remain solid green for approximately 10 
seconds and then start to flash if there is no load present. Power saving is enabled 
and adjusted through dip switches S1, S2, and S3 on the front of the inverter.
