Possible Cause

Suggested Remedy

The AC product(s) connected are rated at less than the inverter’s continuous power rating; high starting surge has caused overload shutdown.

Battery is discharged (alarm is sounding).

The inverter has overheated due to poor ventilation and has shutdown (alarm is sounding).

Input voltage is greater than 15 volts.

The product exceeds the inverter’s surge capability. Use a product with a starting surge power within the XPower’s capability.

Recharge battery.

Switch inverter OFF and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Clear blocked fan or remove objects covering unit. Move the inverter to a cooler place. Reduce load if continuous operation is required.

Verify the charging system is properly regulated and the battery is 12 volts nominal.
