Troubleshooting
Low output voltage
Possible cause and remedy:
•The power inverter is overloaded. Reduce the load until you no longer exceed the maximum load as specified in the technical data.
•The input voltage is below 11 V. Maintain the in- put voltage of the power inverter above 11 V
to keep the output voltage constant.
Low battery voltage signal sounds continually
Possible cause and remedy:
•The battery is defective. Replace the battery.
•Insufficient voltage or power supply. Check the condition of the in vehicle receptacle and the 12 V vehicle plug and if necessary clean these.
No output power
Possible cause and remedy:
•The power inverter is not fully warmed up. Switch the power inverter on and off again until the device attached to the power inverter is supplied with power. Repeat this process in order to switch the device on.
•The ignition must be switched on for the in vehicle receptacle to be supplied with power. Switch the ignition on and/or in the position I.
•The power inverter is overloaded. Reduce the load until you no longer exceed the maximum load as specified in the technical data.
•The power inverter is overheated. Wait until the device has cooled down. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation space. Make sure that the connected load does not continually exceed the maximum load, in order to avoid overheating again.
•The device fuse is burnt out. Consult the service department in order to put the device back into working condition. Make sure that the power in- verter is connected to the power supply with the correct polarity.
•The cable fuse is burnt out. Change the cable fuse as described in the chapter "Changing the cable fuse".
Make sure that the power inverter is connected to the power supply with the correct polarity.
Cleaning
Risk of potentially fatal electrical shock:
•Never submerse the device in water or other liquids!
•Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the housing.
•Before every cleaning remove the power in- verter from the vehicle receptacle/remove the connection terminals from the automobile bat- tery. Also remove any devices connected to the power inverter.
Cleaning the housing:
Clean the housing surface with a slightly damp cloth Never use petrol, solvents or cleaners since these could damage the surface of the device!
In the event that the ventilation slots become dusty you can clean these with a soft brush.
