AUTOMATIC PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER

Your Inverter circuitry constantly monitors the following potentially hazardous conditions:

a)Low Battery Voltage - This condition is not harmful to the invert- er but could damage the power source. An audible alarm is sounded when input voltage drops to 10.2 volts and the inverter shut down when input voltage drops to 9.5 volts. When the condition is correct- ed (i.e. alternator charges battery) the unit may be restarted.

b)Over Voltage Protection - The inverter will automatically shut down when the input voltage exceeds 15 ±0.3 volts DC.

c)Overload Protection - the inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous draw exceeds 300 watts.

d)Thermal Protection - When the temperature of the internal heat sinks reaches 150°F, the solid-state temperature sensor located in the inverter will automatically shut down the unit. The unit may be "restarted" by turning the unit OFF and then ON again after approxi- mately 15 minutes of cool down.
