Your Inverter circuitry constantly monitors the following potentially
hazardous conditions:
a)
LLooww BBaatttteerryy VVoollttaaggee --
This condition is not harmful to the invert-
er but could damage the power source. An audible alarm is sounded
when input voltage drops to 10.2 volts and the inverter shut down
when input voltage drops to 9.5 volts. When the condition is correct-
ed (i.e. alternator charges battery) the unit may be restarted.
b)
OOvveerr VVoollttaaggee PPrrootteeccttiioonn --
The inverter will automatically shut
down when the input voltage exceeds 15 ±0.3 volts DC.
c)
OOvveerrllooaadd PPrrootteeccttiioonn --
the inverter will automatically shut down
when the continuous draw exceeds 300 watts.
d)

n --
When the temperature of the internal heat
sinks reaches 150°F, the solid-state temperature sensor located in the
inverter will automatically shut down the unit. The unit may be
"restarted" by turning the unit OFF and then ON again after approxi-
mately 15 minutes of cool down.
