TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem:

Low or no output voltage from the power inverter

Answer:

Check connections between the 12 Volt power source and
the power inverter as detailed in Connecting Your Power
Inverter.  

Answer:

Using the incorrect type of voltmeter to test the output
voltage.  To accurately measure the the output voltage of
your SOLAR Power Inverter, use only a voltmeter identified as
a “True RMS” reading voltmeter.

Problem:

Red LED ON

Answer:

The voltage of the 12 Volt power source may have dropped
below 9.5 Volts – check 12 Volt power source voltage and
recharge as needed.

Answer:

The device being powered is placing a power demand on the
inverter that is beyond its operating capacity – use a higher
capacity power inverter or cease powering that device using
your power inverter.

Answer:

The inverter is too hot – allow the inverter to cool.  Check for
adequate ventilation.  If problem persists, reduce the the load
on the power inverter to the rated continuous power.

Problem:

Low Battery Alarm on Continuously

Answer:

The voltage of the 12 Volt power source may have dropped
below 10.5 Volts – check 12 Volt power source voltage and
recharge as needed.

Answer:

Poor or weak 12 Volt power source – recharge or replace the
battery.

Answer:

Inadequate power delivery from the 12 Volt power source –
check the connections between the 12 Volt power source and
the power inverter.

Problem:

Poor Television/Audio Device Reception

Answer:

Refer to “Suggestions When Using Your Power Inverter to
Power Television and Audio Devices” section within this
Operator’s Manual.
