5. TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE
Proceed as follows for quick detection of common faults.
DC loads must be disconnected from the batteries and the AC loads must be disconnected
from the inverter before the inverter and/ or battery charger is tested.
Consult your Victron Energy dealer if the fault cannot be resolved.
Problem
Cause
Solution
The inverter fails
to operate when
switched on.
The battery voltage is too high
or too low.
Ensure that the battery voltage
is within the correct value.

inverter is higher than the
nominal load.
Reduce the load.
The alarm LED

Pre-alarm alt. 4. Voltage ripple
on the DC input exceeds
1.25Vrms.
Check the battery cables and
terminals.
Check the battery capacity;
increase if necessary.
The alarm LED
flashes
intermittantly.
Pre-alarm alt. 5. Low battery
voltage and excessive load.
Charge the batteries, reduce
the load or install batteries with
a higher capacity. Use shorter
and/or thicker battery cables.
The alarm LED is
on
The inverter did cut out following
a pre-alarm.
Check the table for the
