Operating Indicators
•
Indicators at the Output End of the unit show the unit’s power status and alarms for conditions that could cause it to shut down.
Output Watts
Power on – The Voltage Input and Power Output indicators automatically toggle between input and output values at
Over Current | Current Overload Protection – |
| If the inverter is overloaded, |
| it will shut down to protect itself. |
| The meter will flash as shown to |
| indicate Overload Protect. |
| To restore normal operation, |
| disconnect the excessive load |
| and turn the unit Off and On |
| again using the Power Button. |
Short Circuit | Short Circuit Protection – If the |
| AC output of the inverter is short- |
| circuited for one second or more, |
| it will shut down to protect itself. |
| The meter will flash as shown to |
| indicate Short Circuit Protect and |
| an alarm will sound. |
| To restore normal operation, |
| disconnect the short circuit and |
| turn the unit Off and On again |
| using the Power Button. |

Low Voltage ![](/images/new-backgrounds/1311409/31140921xi9.webp)
Low Voltage Protection – If the
DC input voltage drops below the alarm threshold of 10.5V the meter will flash as shown 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 as shown, 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 | High Voltage Protection – If the |
| DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, |
| the inverter will shut down to protect |
| itself, the meter will flash as shown |
| 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. |
