Low Voltage Protection – If the 

DC input voltage drops below  

the alarm threshold of 11.3V +/- 

0.3V the meter will flash as shown 

to indicate Low Voltage Protection, 

but the unit will continue to 

operate. If the input voltage drops  

to 10.0V or less, the inverter will 

shut down to protect itself, the 

meter will continue to flash as 

shown, and an alarm will sound.
To restore normal operation, return 

the DC input voltage to at least 

12V. The inverter will automatically 

return to normal operation.
 High Voltage Protection – If the 

DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, 

the inverter will shut down to protect 

itself, the meter will flash as shown 

to indicate Over Voltage Protection, 

and an alarm will sound.
To restore normal operation, return 

the DC input voltage to less than 

15V. The inverter will automatically 

return to normal operation.

Low Voltage

High Temperature

Over Temperature Protection –  

If the internal inverter temperature 

rises above the alarm threshold, 

the meter will flash as shown, an 

alarm will sound to indicate Over 

Temperature Protect, and the unit 

will continue to operate. If the 

internal temperature rises to 40ºC 

(104ºF), the inverter will shut down 

to protect itself, the meter will 

flash as shown and the alarm will 

continue to sound.

NOTE Internal inverter temperature 

can rise due to being operated in a 

high heat environment or due to the 

fan or vents being blocked during 

operation (even in relatively cool 

outside air).
To restore normal operation, turn 

the unit Off and allow it to cool. 

The inverter will automatically 

return to normal operation after  

it has cooled.
