Problem	Things to Check
	1. Battery voltage under load.
	2. Battery connections and DC fuse.
	3. Circuit breaker on front panel.
No Inverter	4. Thermal condition, high powered loads or
Output	inadequate ventilation may cause overheating.
	5. Overloads or short circuit, check for excessive
	loads or bad wiring connections.
	6. Reset button oin GFCI outlet.
	Confirm that your volt meter is a true RMS meter.
	Standard volt meters will not accurately read the
Low Inverter	waveform of the inverter and may read anywhere
	from 90 to 120 volts. If a true RMS meter is not
Output Voltage
	available, check the brightness of an incandescent
	light bulb - if it appears normal, the output voltage is
	properly regulated.
	1. Wiring connections - check both the AC and DC
	connections.
Little or No	2. AC input voltage - low voltage input will result in
Output from	low DC output current. Expect reduced charger
Battery	output from generators under 3,500 watts.
Charger	3. AC reverse polarity - check for voltage between
	the incoming white and green wires. If 120 volts is
	measured, this is reverse polarity.
	1. Microwave ovens will normally cook slow on
Microwave	inverters due to a slightly low peak AC voltage. 2.
	Cooking speed will be determined by battery

	voltage. Low voltage results in increased cooking
Slow	time. Support the battery bank with an alternator or
	other charging source for quicker cooking.
	1. Digital clocks either employ an internal time
	base or derive their time base from the incoming
	AC waveform. The frequency is usually well
Slow	regulated at 60 Hz. The clock either counts the
Digital	number of peaks in the waveform or the number
Clock	of times the waveform crosses zero volts. The
	circuitry to count the zero crossing events is more
	popular. The longer zero cross time of the
	inverter's modified sinewave may cause double
	clocking, resulting in a faster clock.
