7. LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The LED glows GREEN automatically when plugged into a 12V
DC source, but will not glow under the following conditions:
1. When the power input from the vehicle’s battery drops to
approximately 10 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 ow over and through the inverter. Reduce the
load on the inverter to the continuous rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs:
1. Disconnect the inverter from the 12V power source.
2. Check the source of the problem and correct.
3. Reconnect the inverter to the 12V power source.
NOTE: If the red LED is lit and the green LED is not, see the
Troubleshooting section.
8. IF THE INVERTER FUSE BLOWS
Your power inverter is tted 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 fuse (25A). The fuse can be found on the right
side of the inverter. NOTE: If you are using the 12V accessory
plug to power the inverter, there is also a 15A fuse in the end
of the plug.
