Schumacher PSI-2000 Troubleshooting Problem Low or No Output Voltage, Problem Red LED On

Page 8

If you are using the power inverter to operate battery charger, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter im- mediately.

If you are powering the inverter with an automobile or marine battery, start the engine every 30 to 45 minutes and let it run for about 10 minutes to recharge the battery.

If you hear a continuous alarm or automatic shut down, turn the inverter OFF immediately. Do not restart the inverter until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.

Disconnect the inverter when not in use in order to avoid battery drain.

J.Troubleshooting

PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage

Reason/Solution

1.Poor contact at terminals. Unhook and rehook the 12-volt connections.

2.Using incorrect type of voltmeter to test output voltage.

Use a true RMS reading meter.

PROBLEM: Red LED On

Reason/Solution

1.Battery voltage below 11 volts. Recharge or replace battery.

2.Equipment being operated is drawing too much power.

Use a higher capacity inverter or do not use this equipment.

3.Inverter is too hot (thermal shut down mode).

Allow inverter to cool. Check for adequate ventilation. Reduce the load on the inverter to rated continuous power output.

PROBLEM: Audible Alarm On All The Time

Reason/Solution

1.Input voltage below 11 volts. Recharge or replace battery to maintain adequate power input.

2.Poor or weak battery condition. Recharge or replace battery.

PROBLEM: Device Does Not Work

Reason/Solution

1.Device does not turn on.

Try turning the inverter ON, then OFF, then ON again. Contact the device manufacture for start up surge and/or if the device is compatible with a modified sine wave. An inverter producing a larger power out-put may be required.

2.Inverter may be defective.

See warranty and call customer service.
