Green POWER LED

The POWER LED is on when the inverter is connected to DC power and the inverter is switched On.

Red FAULT LED

The FAULT LED comes on for one of the following reasons:

Condition

Cause / Action

 

 

Over Temperature

The PROwatt 600 has overheated and shut

Shutdown

down. The inverter may have overheated

 

because it was operated at power levels

 

above its 600W continuous output rating or

 

because it was installed in a location that

 

does not allow it to dissipate heat properly.

 

Turn the inverter off and then back on after

 

it has cooled down.

 

Note: To cool the inverter quickly, remove

 

any loads, and leave the switch on to keep

 

the fan running.

 

 

Overload Shutdown

A severe overload has caused the

 

PROwatt 600 to shut down.

 

Turn it off for 4–5 seconds, correct the fault

 

condition, and turn it back on. Do not turn

 

the inverter on again unless you have

 

corrected the fault condition (removed the

 

load or unplugged it).

 

 

Low Voltage

The supply voltage (battery) has dropped

Shutdown

below 10 V.

 

 

High Voltage

The supply voltage (battery) has exceeded

Shutdown

15 V.
