Feature Identification
Troubleshooting
Please check the following before sending the Inverter in for service:
Symptom
Problem
Correction
Alarm sounds.
Low battery voltage
(<10.5 V).
Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to recharge vehicle battery.
Output overload.
Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by unplugging high-
wattage devices. Load should not exceed your Inverter’s
maximum continuous output power (see
Specifications
).
Inverter does not turn
ON when power switch
is turned ON
Automatic Inverter
shutdown due to low
battery voltage (<10V).
Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to recharge vehicle battery
Automatic Inverter
shutdown due to output
overload.
Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by unplugging high-
wattage devices. Load should not exceed your Inverter’s
maximum continuous output power (see
Specifications
).
Blown fuse.
Replace fuse with standard automotive fuse of identical
amperage (see
Specifications
).
Inverter is unable
to power connected
equipment.
Battery running low. Low
battery voltage reduces
Inverter power output.
Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to recharge vehicle battery.
Connected equipment
load exceeds Inverter’s
maximum continuous
output power.
Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by unplugging high-
wattage devices. Load should not exceed your Inverter’s
maximum continuous output power (see
Specifications
)
Connected equipment
experiences audio/
video distortion.
Loose connections.
Check and secure all connections.
Audio/video interference.
Reposition equipment antennas and Inverter.
1
Lighted ON/OFF Switch:
move to ON (“I”) position to power connected equipment; switch will
illuminate. Move to OFF (“O”) position to stop powering connected equipment.
2
AC Outlet:
accepts 230V AC equipment you would normally plug into a wall outlet.
3
DC Fuse(s) (externally mounted):
protect vehicle battery from damaging overload. If fuse
blows, replace with standard automotive fuse of equal amperage.
CAUTION: installing non-
rated fuses could cause equipment damage and void your warranty.
4
Vehicle Lighter/Accessory Plug:
connects to a standard 12V DC vehicle lighter/accessory
outlet.
5
Cooling Fan:
maintains internal cooling.
6
Ultra-Compact, Lightweight Metal Case
Low Battery Alarm (internal, not shown):
detects low voltage and shuts down Inverter to preserve
vehicle battery. If alarm sounds, turn Inverter OFF and run engine to recharge battery.
Overload Alarm (internal, not shown):
detects wattage overload on Inverter outlets and shuts
down Inverter as a protective measure. If alarm sounds, turn Inverter OFF and reduce wattage load
(by unplugging high-wattage devices).
