Trouble Shooting:
Symptom
Possible Cause
Solution
Low AC output voltage: 190-
210VAC
Using average reading
Voltmeter
Use true RMS meter and cable
No AC output voltage. Over
Temp LED On.
Insufficient ventilation around
inverter
Ensure true power rating of
appliance (including power
factor) is less than inverter
output rating
Improve ventilation
Check ratings and reduce with
different appliance
Inverter shuts down when trying
to start a load
Possible surge from motor
starting causing shut down
Check that battery voltage is
within specification. If voltage
drops excessively when
starting, batteries size may
have to be increased. Or load is
too large for inverter.
Load LED flashes
Overload
Reduce load. Remove load.
No AC output voltage. Bar
Graph in lower RED zone.
Low input voltage
Check battery status.
Re-charge if required.
No AC output voltage. Bar
Graph in upper RED zone.
Excessive input voltage
Check input voltage.
Reduce if too high.
TV channel interference on
some channels
Connection of chassis ground
lug at rear of inverter needs
attention.
High power loads being used
during TV viewing.
Ensure TV antenna providing a
good signal.
DC power cables too long
causing excessive radiated
interference.
Check chassis ground lug is a
solid connection.
Do not use high power loads.
Check antenna wiring and
connection. Move TV away
from power inverter.
Shorten cables if necessary
and twist them together with
approx. 2 to 3 twists per foot.

Safety Instructions
Explosive Gas Precautions:
This equipment contains components that can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion
do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations
that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing petrol-powered
machinery, fuel tanks, joints or other connections between components of the fuel system.
Precautions When Working With Batteries:
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid gets into
eyes, immediately flood eyes with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical
attention immediately. NEVER smoke, allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of batteries or engine.
Do not drop a metal tool on the battery as the resulting spark or short-circuit of the battery may
cause an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short circuit current, high enough to weld a
ring or similar metal, causing a severe burn.
Operating Limits:
The inverter will operate most AC appliances within its power rating.
When operating microwaves, please note that the power commonly advertised for microwave
ovens is the cooking power (the power delivered to the food) not the power actually used by
the microwave oven. Microwave ovens generally will consume 40% to 100% more than the
advertised cooking power. Check the rating sticker at the rear or under the oven to determine its
actual power draw.
In some cases the power inverter may not be able to start some electric motors even though the
rated current draw is within the limits of the inverter. If a motor will not start, check the voltage
reading of the battery voltage indicator. If the voltage indicator reads below 11.0 volts (19V on
24V models, this could be the reason for not starting. Check that the wire connections are good
and that the battery is fully charged. If these are ok and you get the same, then this is indicative
that the inverter is too small for the application.
