TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Common Audio/Visual Problems
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
“Buzzing” sound in
audio systems
Inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” may emit a buzzing sound from their
speakers when operated from your inverter. This occurs because the power supply in
the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the
inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a higher quality sound system.
Television
Interference
Your inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, in some
instances, some interference may still occur, particularly where TV signals are weak.
Try the following corrective measures:
• Place the inverter as far as possible from the television. Use an extension cable, if
necessary.
• Readjust the orientation of the inverter, the antenna cables and the TV power cord to
minimize interference.
• Make sure the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate (“snow free”)
signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used.
• Do not use the inverter to operate high-power appliances or tools at the same time
you are using it to operate the TV.
• Make sure the inverter’s case is properly grounded (refer to the “Permanent
Installation Procedure” section of this Instruction Manual).
Error Protection and Troubleshooting Guide
Display Indications, Common Problems, Possible Solutions / Indicacion, Causa Posible, Solucion Posible
LOW DC INPUT VOLTAGE (Below 10Vdc)
•
Battery Voltage too low, Check or Recharge (battery) Power Source
•
Inadequate power being delivered to the inverter or excessive voltage drop. Use heavier gauge wire
•
See “Installation Specifi cations” in users manual
APAGADO DE BAJA ENTRADA DE VOLTAJE
•
Voltaje de la fuente (batería ) demasiado baja Recargue o substituya la ( batería) Fuente de alimentación
•
Potencia inadecuada entregado al inversor o excesiva caída de Voltage .
•
Consulte “Especifi caciones de instalación” en el manual del usuario
HIGH DC INPUT VOLTAGE ( Above 16Vdc)
•
Battery Voltage is too high, Check for fault with battery charging system
APAGADO DE ALTA ENTRADA DE VOLTAJE
•
Voltaje de la batería es demasiado alto, Compruebe si hay fallas en el sistema de carga de la batería
OVERLOAD SHUTDOWN
•
Excessive start-up load. Power tool (or appliance ) draws too much voltage; and cannot be used with your inverter
•
Inadequate power being delivered to the inverter or excessive voltage drop . Use heavier Gauge wire.
•
See “Installation Specifi cations” in users manual.
APAGADO DE SOBRECARGA
•
Excesivo Carga de arranque.
•
Potencia inadecuada entregado al inversor o excesiva caída de Voltage .
•
Consulte “Especifi caciones de instalación” en el manual del usuario.
OVER TEMPERATURE
•
Inverter is too hot (thermal shutdown mode) Allow Inverter to cool. Check for adequate ventilation.
•
Reduce the load on the inverter to rated continuous output.
APAGADO DE ALTA TEMPERATURA
•
Inversor está demasiado caliente.
•
Permita inversor que se enfríe . Compruebe si hay una ventilación adecuada para el inversor .
•
Reduzca la carga en el inversor .
GROUND FAULT PROTECTION / SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
•
Inverter senses a leakage current on the ground terminal or short circuit current on the AC sockets. Unplug the AC appliance or
power tool. Turn off the inverter, disconnect unit from any 12 VDC power source. Check the appliance or power tool and cord.
PROTECCION DE FUGA
•
Inversor detecta una corriente de fuga.
•
Inversor detecta corriente de cortocircuito.
•
Desenchufe el aparato de CA o herramienta eléctrica

No FUNCTION - (If inverter digital display does not illuminate.)
•
Check and make sure the inverter is properly connected to (battery) Power Source .
