Table 4-2, Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause/

Condition

Solution

AC output turns 

on and off.

Search mode (PS2) 

enabled, and the AC 

load is <10W.

Normal condition when in 

Search mode. The load 

connected must be below the 

AC load sense threshold of 

10W; so the power output will 

be pulsed every 10 sec for 

checking the load.

No AC output. 

Status LED is 

red.

Unit has shut down. 

Check the error code 

shown on the display.

Verify the error condition, 

and then make the necessary 

correction.

AC output only 

on L1/L2 output 

terminals.

The inverter’s GFCI or 

20A thermal breaker 

has tripped.

AC Output L1/N1 terminals 

are connected directly to 

the inverter’s output. The 

terminals are not under the 

tripping in

fl

 uence of either 

the GFCI or the 20A thermal 

breaker on the unit.

No AC output. 

All the LEDs 

and the display 

are off.

The unit is off.

Note:

 

The Power 

button’s on/off action 

takes place at its 

release moment and 

after a “beep” is 

heard.

Turn the unit on by pressing 

the Power button (when the 

unit is in Inverter mode, or 

in By-Pass mode if the PS4 

parameter is set). Otherwise, 

the unit should always 

automatically turn on at the 

moment AC input power is 

connected.

No power coming into 

the unit.

Check the battery DC fuse, 

the disconnect switch (if 

installed), and the AC input 

source. The AC input branch 

breaker is either tripped or 

turned off.

No AC output 

to the GFCI and 

L2/N2 output 

terminals. The 

Status LED is 

green or amber.

GFCI tripped.

Check the AC load for a 

ground fault, and reset the 

GFCI. Make sure the loads 

do not have the neutral and 

ground bonded.
If no load plugged in to GFCI, 

there may be humidity inside. 

Try drying with a hairdryer. 

Ensure unit is in a dry area.

Note:

 

The GFCI contains a lockout feature that 

prevents a RESET if there is no power being supplied 

to it. Therefore, make sure to force By-Pass mode 

or do not have either the PS0 or PS2 setting when in 

Inverter mode, before resetting.

The unit’s 20A thermal 

breaker is tripped.

Check loads and reset the 20A 

thermal breaker.
