Power and Protection Indicators
•
The Power and Protection Indicators include a green light,
a red light, an alarm and a current meter.
Green Light
Power on – The green light should remain on steady.
Red Light and/or Alarm
Current overload – The red light will turn on momentarily,
then the inverter will shutdown. The inverter will continue to
check for appropriate current levels while trying to restart
the load.
DC input voltage overload – The red light will turn on
and the inverter will shutdown. The inverter will continue
to check for appropriate voltage levels while trying to
restart the load.
DC input voltage shortage – As a warning that the voltage
is getting low, the internal alarm will sound. When the
voltage is too low, the inverter will shutdown and the red
light will turn on. The inverter will continue to check for
appropriate voltage levels while trying to restart the load.
Temperature overload – The red light will turn on
momentarily, then the inverter will shutdown. The inverter
will continue to check for appropriate temperature levels
while trying to restart the load.
NOTE A momentary sound of the internal alarm
and/or flash of the red light is normal at start up.
Current Meter
The current meter indicates the
current drawn from the battery.
It will not indicate the current
drawn by other loads also
connected to the battery.
For long term operation, the
current meter should remain in
the middle of the bar graph.
Operating Limits

Power Output
The inverter can deliver1500 watts for about 60 minutes.
The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can
resume operation at 1500 watts. Note: The wattage
rating applies to resistive loads.
The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power
rating. Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps,
and other motor-operated equipment require very high
surge currents to start. The inverter may not be able
to start some of these motors even though their rated
current draw is within the inverter’s limits. The inverter
will normally start single phase induction motors rated
at one-half HP or less.
Input Voltage
The inverter will operate from input voltage ranging
from 10 volts to15 volts. Optimum performance will
occur when the voltage is between 12 volts and 14 volts.
If the voltage drops below 10.5V+/-0.3V, an audible low
battery warning will sound. The inverter will shut down if
the input voltage drops below 9.5V+/-0.3V. This protects
the battery from being over-discharged. It will restart when
the input voltage exceeds 12V+/-0.3V.
The inverter will also shut down if the input voltage
exceeds 15.75V+/-0.75V. This protects the inverter
against excessive input voltage. Although the inverter
has protection against over-voltage, it may still be
damaged if the input voltage were to exceed 16 volts.
