Low voltage alarm and

Protects the battery from becoming completely discharged. The

shutdown

Low Battery light and audible alarm indicate that input voltage is

 

low (10.7 volts). If the input voltage drops below 10.3 volts, the

 

TS400 shuts down automatically and the Inverter ON light turns

 

off. The TS400 recovers automatically when the input voltage

 

comes up to about 12.6 volts.

 

 

High voltage shutdown

Protects the TS400 by disabling the AC output when the input

 

voltage rises to 15.3 volts or more. The AC output is enabled when

 

the input voltage drops to 14.5 volts.

 

 

Over-temperature

Disables the AC output of the TS400 when the internal temperature

shutdown

rises to unacceptable levels due to higher ambient temperature or

 

overloading. The TS400 recovers automatically when it cools

 

down.

 

 

Overload protection

Disables the AC output of the TS400 if the appliance connected to

 

the inverter exceeds the 400 watt rating of the inverter. The TS400

 

will have to be reset. (See “Resetting After a Fault or Shutdown” on

 

page 3–7.)

 

 

Supplemental circuit

Trips and disables the AC output when a current in excess of 7.5

protection

amps is drawn from the TS400. The supplemental circuit protector

 

can be reset to enable the unit to operate again after clearing the

 

overload condition. (See “Resetting After a Fault or Shutdown” on

 

page 3–7.)

 

 

Short circuit protection

Disables the AC output of the TS400 when a short circuit is applied

 

on the AC output. Once the short circuit is cleared, the TS400 will

 

have to be reset. (See “Resetting After a Fault or Shutdown” on

 

page 3–7.)

 

 

Ground fault circuit

Trips and disables the output of the TS400 when a ground fault

interrupter (GFCI)

current is detected. The output can be enabled again by resetting the

 

GFCI, once the ground fault is cleared. (See “Ground Fault” on

 

page 3–7.)
