ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
There is no AC output. The
Green LED marked "POWER"
(2, FIG 6.1A) is lighted. Buzzer
is ON. Shut-down due to high
input DC voltage –
> 16.5V for 12V versions
and > 33V for 24V
versions. • Check that the voltage at the DC input
terminals is less than 16.5V for 12V versions
and less than 33V for 24V versions.
• Ensure that the maximum charging voltage
of the battery charger / alternator / solar
charge controller is below 16.5V for 12V
versions and below 33V for 24V versions.
• Ensure that an unregulated solar panel is
not used to charge a battery. Under cold
ambient temperatures, the output of the
solar panels may exceed 22V for 12V Panels
or 42V for 24V Panels. Ensure that a charge
controller is used between the solar panel
and the battery.
AC output shuts down
completely. Red LED marked
"OVERLOAD" (3, Fig 6.1a)
is lighted. Buzzer is ON. The
Green LED marked "POWER"
(2, Fig 6.1a) is lighted. Permanent shut-down of
the AC output due to con-
tinuous overload > 110%
(3300W
± 50W) for 2 to 3
sec or due to short circuit
on the AC load circuit.
• Reduce the load / remove the short circuit
• The load is not suitable as it requires higher
power to operate. Use an inverter with
higher power rating.
• If the unit goes into permanent overload
again after resetting and removing the load
completely, the unit has become defective.
NOTE:
The unit will be latched in this shut-
down condition and will require manual reset.
To reset, switch OFF the power ON/OFF switch,
wait for 3 minutes and then switch ON again.
Before switching on again, remove the cause
of the shut-down.
There is no AC output. Buzzer
alarm is sounded. Red LED
marked "OVER TEMP" (4, Fig
6.1a) is lighted. The Green
LED marked "POWER" (2, Fig
6.1a) is lighted. Shut-down due to over
temperature because of
fan failure or inadequate
cooling as a result of high
ambient temperature or Check that the fans are working. If not, the fan
control circuit may be defective.
If the fans are working, check that the ventila-
tion slots on the suction side and the openings
on the discharge side of the fans are not
obstructed.
If the fans are working and the openings
are not obstructed, check that enough cool
replacement air is available. Also check that the
ambient air temperature is less than 40ºC.
Reduce the load to reduce the heating effect.
After the cause of overheating is removed and
automatically.
