Understanding the Error Code 

Code 

Condition 

Corrective Action 

E01 

Unit has sensed input under voltage 
and has shutdown 

Recharge battery immediately and 
restart unit 

E02 

Unit has sensed input over voltage 
and has shutdown 

Check battery voltage or if any external 
charger is connected to the battery bank 

E03 

Unit output has sensed overload or 
short circuit and was shutdown 

Check load connected to the output. 
Reduce load and restart the unit 

E04 

Unit has sensed internal 
temperature was high and has 
shutdown 

Turn unit off and wait for 15 minutes 
before restarting. Check if any object 
has blocked the air flow of the unit 

E05 

Unit has sensed input voltage is low 
and warning occurs 

Recharge battery as unit will shutdown 
shortly 

E06 

Unit has sensed load connected is 
close to overload shutdown limit 
(Not applicable for 38210, 38215) 

Reduce load 

E07 

Unit has sensed internal 
temperature is high and is close to 
thermal shutdown limit 

Reduce load and check if any ventilation 
of the unit is blocked 

 

AC Load on Power Inverter 

Although the Power Inverter can provide high surge power up to two times the rated output power, 
some appliances may still trigger on the inverter protection system. A higher power inverter is 
required for those appliances. 
For 38210, 38215 modified sinewave inverter, some appliances like speed controllers found in 
some fans, power tools and some power tools

’ AC charger may not like the modified sine wave 

generate by the inverter, those appliances may not work or may be damaged if they are 
connected to the inverter. If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact 
the manufacturer of the device. 

 
 
Estimate Run time on Load 

Following run time is an estimate based on using a 12V-120AH battery bank for reference. Actual
