TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM:�LOW�OR�NO�OUTPUT�VOLTAGE
Reason
Solution
Poor�contact�with�battery�terminals
Clean�terminals�thoroughly
Using�incorrect�type�of�voltmeter�to�test�
output�voltage
Use�true�RMS�reading�meter
PROBLEM:�INVERTER�IS�SHUT�DOWN
Reason
Solution
Battery�voltage�below����volts
Recharge�or�replace�battery
Equipment�being�operated�draws�too�much�
power
Cable�gauge�may�be�inadequate—use�
heavier�cables
Inverter�is�too�hot�(thermal�shut�down�mode) Allow�inverter�to�cool
Check�for�adequate�ventilation.
Reduce�the�load�on�the�inverter�to�rated�
