Operation

Over Temperature

The “Otemp/Less Load” System Status message indicates the inverter/charger transformer and power components have exceeded a safe operating temperature. Reduce the load on the inverter. When the unit cools, it automatically resets and resumes operation. If this condition occurs often, make sure the inverter is in a cool location, has adequate ventilation, and the cooling fan is operational.
