	INVERTER - If ERROR LED comes on, see ERROR CAUSES section

PROBLEM

Unit will not come on (no LED’s are on) and the

Control Panel Display is blank or off

INDICATION

DC voltage on the inverter’s DC terminals is incorrect.

DC voltage on the inverter’s DC terminals is correct

SOLUTION

Check the battery voltage, fuses or breakers and DC cable connections to the inverter

Have unit serviced

Unit comes on, but goes off quickly

(several attempts made)

Excessive load on output, unit is in over-temperature protection (needs to cool down), incorrect battery voltage.

See ERROR CAUSES section

No AC power output

INVERTING LED is on, with no ERROR LED.

Look at Control Panel display under ‘Inverter volts’ and check AC voltage on inverter AC terminal block.

AC1/AC2 IN GOOD LED is flashing

(with no AC connected to the input).

Correct AC voltage on Control Panel display but no AC voltage on inverter AC terminal block.

Check for open circuit breaker on the inverter. If circuit breaker on the inverter is not open (popped), have the inverter serviced.

Correct AC voltage on Control Panel display and on inverter AC terminal block.

Check for open AC output breakers or fuses and bad output wire connections

AC voltage on Control Panel display or inverter AC terminal block is incorrect: have unit serviced

Have unit serviced

No AC power output

INVERT LED is flashing.

Low AC power output or

Low surge power

INVERT LED is on

(AC inductive loads are not running at full speed).

AC load too small for Search mode circuit to detect

Insufficient DC current being provided to the inverter to operate the AC loads

Reduce search watts setting, increase load above search watts setting, or defeat search mode by selecting ON.

Check the battery voltage, fuses or breakers and cable connections.

Ensure the battery bank is sufficient (check for low DC voltage while running the load).

Ensure the cable length and size is correct (see owner's manual for correct cable). Tie the battery cables together to reduce inductance.
