LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The LED glows GREEN automatically when plugged into a 12 volt DC source,
but will not glow under the following conditions:
1. When the power input from the vehicle’s battery drops to approximately 10
volts, low battery shutdown occurs and the inverter shuts off.
Recharge or replace the battery.
2. When the power input from the vehicle’s battery exceeds 15 volts, high voltage
protection occurs. Reduce the voltage range to between 12 volts and 14 volts.
3. The case temperature becomes hot (exceeds 145°F).
Allow the inverter to cool. Do not block the cooling slots or air flow over
and through the inverter. Reduce the load on the inverter to the continuous
rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs, remove the 12 volt plug from the
accessory outlet. Check the source of the problem and correct. Reinsert the
12 volt plug into the accessory outlet.
IF THE INVERTER’S FUSE BLOWS
Your power inverter is fitted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced
under normal operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse
polarity or a short circuit within the device or equipment being operated.
If the fuse does blow:
If the fuse does blow:
1. Disconnect the device or equipment immediately.
2. Find the source of the problem and repair it.
3. Install a new 15 amp fuse. The fuse can be found on the end of the
accessory plug on the inverter.
4. Do not overtighten the fuse cap; finger-tight is sufficient.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a fuse higher than 15 amps, as this may damage
the inverter. Make sure to correct the cause of the blown fuse before using the
inverter again.
