A. No output current

B. PM repeatedly trips input circuit 

breaker with no battery or load 

connected

C. Reverse polarity battery 

connection to PM has caused PM to 

stop charging

D. High output voltage measured 

across “V OUT” terminals

E. Batteries connected to PM 

overcharging

1. Using a voltmeter, confirm AC input volt age. 

Check input connections. Confirm AC input select 

switch is in correct position (560 watt models) or 

correct AC connector/adap tor is installed (1,000 

watt models).

2. Reduce  DC load and/or determine cause of 

over temperature condition.

3. Clear or replace clogged fan filter. Remove 

fan obstruction, or replace fan if necessary. (See 

section IV-D, Cooling Fans)

4. Replace blown fuse (See section IV-B,  DC 

Output.)

5. Return to place of purchase for repair/re-

placement or contact NEWMAR for return 

authorization.

1. Set AC input select switch to 230V position or 

install 230V connector/adaptor. Note: 115V MOV 

(RV1) may be damaged by incorrect AC voltage 

application. If so, it must be replaced by a qualified 

technician. If breaker continues to trip, contact 

factory.

2. Return to place of purchase for repair/re-

placement or contact NEWMAR for return 

authorization.

Replace output fuse. If fuse blows again, return to 

place of purchase for repair/re placement or contact 

NEWMAR for return authorization.

Check for tight connection of charging leads from 

PM to batteries.

1. Move positive output wire from “V2” position to 

“V OUT” position.

2. Lower output voltage (See section IV-B,  DC 

Output.) to battery manufacturer’s recommended 

charging voltage

VII) Troubleshooting

   Condition 

Solution 

Possible Cause                            

1. PM not receiving AC input voltage or is not 

receiving correct input voltage

2. PM limiting its output due to overload or 

ambient over temperature condition

3. One or both fans not operating properly, 

or filter clogged, causing over temperature 

condition and PM power reduction

4. Blown output fuse

5. Defective Power Module

1. AC input select switch set to 115V (560 watt 

models) or 115V connector/adaptor installed 

(1,000 watt models) while 230V is being applied

2. Internal short

DC output fuse and possibly other compo nents 

blown

Batteries not connected to PM. It is normal to 

read 1/2 volt higher across “V OUT” terminals 

with no battery connected

1. Batteries connected to “V2” output terminals. 

“V2” output is approximately .7 volt higher than 

“V OUT” output

2. Output voltage adjusted too high
