Low Voltage Protection:
If the DC input voltage drops below the alarm threshold of 10.5V the meter will flash (LUP) to indicate Low Voltage Protection, but the unit will continue to operate. If the input voltage drops to 10.0V or less, the inverter will shut down to protect itself, the meter will continue to flash (LUP), and an alarm will sound. To restore normal operation, return the DC input voltage to at least 12V. The inverter will automatically return to normal operation.
High Voltage Protection:
If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself, the meter will flash (OUP) to indicate Over Voltage Protection, and an alarm will sound. To restore normal operation, return the DC input voltage to less than 15V. The inverter will automatically return to normal operation.
CAUTION: Although the inverter has protection against
Over Temperature Protection:
If the internal inverter temperature rises above the alarm threshold, the meter will flash (OCP) an alarm will sound to indicate over temperature protection, and the unit will continue to operate. If the internal temperature rises to 104ºF, the inverter will shut down to protect itself, the meter will continue to flash, and the alarm will continue to sound.
NOTE: Internal inverter temperature can rise due to being operated in a high heat environment or due to the fan or vents being blocked during operation (even in relatively cool outside air). To restore normal operation, turn the unit off and allow it to cool. The inverter will automatically return to normal operation after it has cooled.
Remote On/Off Switch:
An optional Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack allowing you to turn the power inverter on or off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed in an out of reach location.
USB Outlet; The USB outlet will supply 5 volts at 500ma to charge and power cell phones, iPods® and other small electronics.
Operating Limits
Power Output:
The inverter can deliver 2000 watts for about 60 minutes. The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can resume operation at 2000 watts.
