LEd IndICATor And SHUTdoWn ProTECTIon

The LED glows GREEN automatically when plugged into a 12-volt DC source and will not glow
under the following conditions:
1. When the power input from the vehicle's battery drops to approximately 10.5-volts, low
battery shutdown occurs and inverter shuts off. Solution: Recharge or Replace the battery.
2. When the power input from the vehicle's battery exceeds 15-volts, high voltage overload
protection occurs. Solution: Reduce the voltage range to between 12-volts and 14-volts.
3. The continuous load demand from the equipment or device being operated exceeds the
continuous load rating of the inverter being used. Solution: Use a higher capacity inverter
or lower rated device.
4. The case temperature becomes hot (exceeds 145°F). Solution: Allow the inverter to cool.
Do not block the cooling slots or air flow over and through the inverter. Reduce the load on
the inverter to the continuous rated output.
rESET: To reset after shutdown occurs, switch the inverter On/Off switch to the OFF position.
Check the source of the problem and correct. Switch the inverter On/Off switch to the ON position.
noTE: If the red LED is lit and the green LED is not, see the Troubleshooting section.

If THE InVErTEr fUSE BLoWS

Your power inverter is fitted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced under normal
operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse polarity or a short circuit within the
device or equipment being operated.
If the fuse does blow:
1. Disconnect the device or equipment immediately.
2. Find the source of the problem, and repair it.
3. Install a new 25-amp fuse. The fuses can be found on the right side of the inverter.
Do not install a fuse higher than 25-amp, as this may damage the inverter and any
product you use with the inverter. Make sure to correct the cause of the blown fuse before using
the inverter again.
