6. PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER
Your POWER INVERTER monitors the following potentially hazardous
conditions:
Low Battery Voltage - This condition is not harmful to the inverter but could
damage the power source. An audible alarm will sound when input
voltage drops to 10.6. The POWER INVERTER automatically shuts down
when input voltage drops to 10.0 volts. When the condition is corrected,
the unit may be restarted.
Over Voltage Protection - The POWER INVERTER will automatically shut
down when the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC.
Short Circuit Protection - Reverse polarity or a short circuit condition will
usually result in an external or internal fuse being blown.
Overload Protection - The inverter will automatically shut down when the
continuous draw exceeds 750 watts. When the overload is removed the
inverter will self-start.
Over Temperature Protection - When the temperature sensor inside the
POWER INVERTER reaches 150 degrees F, the unit will automatically shut
down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting after
a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.
Low Battery Alarm - An alarm will sound when the voltage from the battery
drops to 10.6 volts. This is an indication that the battery needs to be
recharged. The user should stop operation of the electronic device at this
time, since the inverter will shut down automatically shortly thereafter, when
the battery voltage drops to 10 volts. Start your engine to recharge the
battery.
If the low voltage alarm sounds when the battery is fully charged, follow
the steps for solving lack of output power in the Troubleshooting Guide. The
alarm will sound when the inverter is overloaded, in thermal shutdown, or
if there is an excessive voltage drop between the battery and inverter.
NOTE: It is normal for the alarm to sound while the unit is being connected
to, or disconnected from, the power source. This is not indicative
of a problem.
