Symptom The AC load runs for more than one minute,
the alarm sounds, and the 
light comes on. The inverter is warm or hot to touch.
Possible cause | Suggested remedy |
Poor ventilation or a high- temperature environment has caused the inverter to overheat.
Ensure that ventilation is not restricted around the inverter.
The AC load will not operate; no inverter lights are on. Symptom The cigarette lighter works in the lighter socket, but the inverter does not.
Possible cause | Suggested remedy |
The contact between the plug and the lighter socket or the 12 volt outlet is poor.
The inverter has been connected with reverse DC input polarity.
Press the plug firmly into the socket. Clean the plug or the socket if necessary.
The inverter has probably been damaged. Have it repaired. Instructions for returning the inverter are on page 22. Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered by the warranty.
