13ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Automatic Shut Down & Related Safety Features.
Each Whistlerinverter model has an unique LED Indicator
warning light system which operates in conjunction with
the automatic shut down feature. These indicator lights
operate as follows:
GREEN LED: System ready.
RED LED: System overload/automatic shut down.
YELLOW LED: Open fuse.
Your inverter will shut down automatically when any of the
following problems occur:
1. The power input from the battery drops below
9.5 volts.
2. The power input from the battery exceeds 16 volts.
3. The continuous draw of the appliance or equipment
being operated exceeds the design parameters of the
inverter.
The inverter is equipped with the following additional safety
features:
1. Thermal Cut Off:
Automatic shut down if internal temperature exceeds
safe design parameters.

Note:
• Make certain to correct the source of the overload
which caused the blown fuse before turning your
inverter back ON (l).
The Power Source.
When the engine is off, most batteries will provide ample power
supply to the inverter for one to two hours. The actual length
of time is a function of several variables including the age and
condition of the battery and the power demand being placed
on it by the equipment being operated with the inverter.
If you are using the inverter while the engine is off, we
recommend you start the engine every hour and let it run for at
least 10 minutes to recharge the battery. We also recommend
that the device plugged into the inverter be turned off before
turning over the engine.
Although it is not necessary to disconnect the inverter when turn-
ing over the engine, the inverter may momentarily cease opera-
tion as the battery voltage decreases. When the inverter is not
supplying power, and turned on, it draws very low <0.40 A ).
