Symptom
The AC load runs for more than one minute, the
alarm sounds, and the light comes on. The inverter is
warm or hot to touch. The alarm may sound.
The AC load will not operate; no inverter lights are
on.
Symptom
The inverter has been connected to the 12 volt
battery and the battery is charged, but the inverter does not
work.
Possible cause Suggested remedy
Poor ventilation or a high-
temperature environment has
caused the
inverter
to
overheat.
Ensure that ventilation is not
restricted around the inverter.
The inverter will turn on again
automatically when it has
cooled sufficiently.
Possible cause Suggested remedy
The inverter could have been
connected with reverse DC
input polarity.
The inverter has probably been
damaged. Have it repaired.
Damage caused by reverse
polarity is not covered by the
warranty. Instructions for
returning the inverter are on
