Inverter 

Light Action 

Description 

 

Steady Green Light 

Inverter in On and Operating. 

Single Blink Green Light 

Inverter circuit is in Stand-by, Shore power is On and supplying AC power to the 
AC loads. The Inverter will turn On and supply the load if shore power is lost. 

Double Blink Green Light 

Inverter circuit is in load Demand. Shore power is Off. The inverter is waiting for a 
load greater than 20 watts. 

Battery Low 

Light Action 

Description 

 

Solid Red 

Inverter is On and the battery is almost too low to operate the inverter. 

Blinking Red 

The  inverter  is  Off.  The  battery  voltage  dropped  below  10.5  volts  DC  and  the 
inverter shut itself Off. The inverter On/Off switch must be cycled to reset the unit. 

Overtemp 

Light Action 

Description 

 

Solid Red 

The  unit  is  Off.  The  unit  has  turned  itself  Off  because  it is  too  hot.  This  can be 
caused  by  operating  an  AC  load  which  is  too  large  for  the  inverter,  or  lack  of 
ventilation. When the unit cools the inverter will start operating again. 

Overload 

Light Action 

Description 

 

Blinking Red 

The inverter is On but overloaded. Reduce the AC load quickly or the inverter will 
shut off due to the overload condition. 

Solid Red 

The  inverter  is  Off.  An  overload  has  occurred  and  the  inverter  has  shut  off  to 
protect  itself.  Reduce  the  AC load,  the  inverter  On/Off  switch must  be cycled to 
reset the unit. 

Charger 

Bulk Absorption 

Light Action 

Description 

 

Blinking Yellow 

The  charger  is  operating.  The  batteries  were  low  and  in  need  of  a charge.  The 
charger  is  in  the  process  of  charging  the  batteries  to  the  bulk  voltage.  The 
charging current is limited based on the position of the Charger High/Low switch. 

Charger 

Ready/Maint. 

Light Action 

Description 

 

Solid Green 

The charger is operating. The batteries are near full charge and the charger is in 
the maintenance mode.  In  this  stage,  the charger  is  holding  the  batteries  at  the 
float voltage. The charging current is limited based on the position of the Charger 
High/Low switch.
