Description 

E-1 

Low battery volt-
age detected 

Input voltage has dropped beneath 10.5V for 
several seconds. The PD1600 Series inverter 
will automatically restart when the input 
voltage reaches 12.0V. 

E-2 

High battery volt-
age shutdown  

Input voltage has surpassed 15.5V. The 
PD1600 Series inverter will automatically 
restart when the input voltage falls below 
15.0V. 

E-3 

AC output over-
load shutdown 

Output power has surpassed the continuous 
power limit or the peak power limit. The 
PD1600 Series inverter will not automati-
cally restart. A manual restart is necessary  

E-4 

Over-temperature 
shutdown 

Internal temperature of the inverter has ex-
ceeded its safe operating limit. The PD1600 
Series inverter will automatically restart 
when internal temperatures return to safe 
operating conditions. 

ERROR CODES 

E-5 

Internal Error 

An internal error has been detected. The 
PD1600 Series inverter will not automati-
cally restart. A manual restart is necessary  

E-6 

Short Circuit 

A short circuit has been detected on the AC 
output of the inverter. The inverter will not 
restart. A manual restart is necessary.
