LED (2)
AC Overload should normally remain OFF. If the inverter shuts
down due to too much AC load being drawn from it then LED (2) will come
ON. The LD600-12 will remain in this condition for 1 minute after the AC
load has been decreased to a safe level. LED (2) will flash if the inverter
shuts down due to “time to shutdown”.
•
If the inverter remains in this condition after one minute, switch (12)
should be turned OFF and then back ON.
LED (3)
DC Volts Low / High
should normally remain OFF. If the inverter
shuts down because the battery volts are too high then this LED (3) will
come ON. It will remain ON until normal battery volts are restored.
•
If the inverter shuts down due to not enough battery volts, then LED (3)
will flash.
•
LED (3) will continue to flash until the battery volts have risen
sufficiently. In this case, charge the battery by starting the vehicle or
using a battery charger.
The low voltage point that the inverter will cut out is adjustable to suit your
particular battery, see page 10 for details of this adjustment.
LED (4)
Temperature Overload
should normally remain OFF. If the inverter
shuts down due to the heatsink getting too hot, then this LED (4) will come
ON. If the transformer is too hot then LED (4) will FLASH. The LED will
remain ON or FLASHING until the temperature has lowered to a safe level;
the inverter will then come back ON.
•
If this LED (4) is coming on regularly, either reduce the amount of load
on the inverter or try to move the inverter to a cooler location.

Demand Start Adjust LED (5) (green) ON
It is sometimes necessary to adjust the demand start sensitivity to overcome
what is called “Phantom Loads”. A phantom load is a load that tricks the
inverter into thinking it should be ON instead of in SLEEP mode.
The wiring of a house or a portable stereo system in standby are good
examples of a phantom load. These loads serve no purpose but yet can
increase battery drain by bringing the inverter ON. Hold the Mode button (7)
down until LED (5) comes ON, (approximately 1 second) indicating you are
ready to adjust this setting. The LD600-12 will leave the factory with a
setting of 4 watts. Now press the Mode button (7) until the desired value is
sought. LEDs (1) – (4) will return to Status after 20 seconds.
