9. LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The LED glows GREEN when the switch is on, and under the following
conditions:
1.
When the power input from the vehicle’s battery drops to approximately
10 volts, low battery shutdown occurs and the converter shuts off.
The Green and Red LEDs are on, with a buzzer.
Recharge or replace
the battery.
2.
When the power input from the vehicle’s battery exceeds 16±0.5 volts,
high voltage overload protection occurs. The Green and Red LEDs are on.
Reduce the voltage range to between 12 volts and 14 volts.
3.
The continuous load demand from the equipment or device being
operated exceeds the continuous load rating of the converter being
used. The Green LED is on; the Red LED pulses.
Use a higher capac-
ity converter or lower-rated device.
4.
The case temperature becomes hot (exceeds 145°F). The Green and
Red LEDs are on, with a buzzer. Allow the converter to cool. Do not
block the cooling slots or air flow over and through the converter.
Reduce the load on the converter to the continuous rated output.
TO RESET AFTER SHUTDOWN OCCURS:
1.
Disconnect the converter from the 12V power source.
2.
Check the source of the problem and correct.
3.
Reconnect the converter to the 12V power source.
NOTE:
If the red LED is lit and the green LED is not, see Troubleshooting.
