TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:

TABLE 1 - INVERTER POWER SWITCH TURNED ON

TROUBLE/ INDICATION 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

SUGGESTED REMEDY

No AC output –

DC input below 10 volts

Recharge or replace

red LED lit 

battery

No AC output – 

Excessive appliance

Reduce load-wait for 

red LED lit 

load-thermal shutdown 

inverter to cool. Turn OFF, 

then turn ON

No AC output – 

Inverter fuses open

Contact technical Support 

Green LED not lit 

toll free 866-584-5504 

TROUBLE/ INDICATION 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

SUGGESTED REMEDY

Low battery alarm 

Bad connection or wiring

Tighten all DC 

sounds continuously  

connections

Low battery  

Low battery voltage 

Recharge battery. 

alarm sounds

Remove load from 

inverter while recharging 

battery

Motorized power tool 

Excessive start-up load

If appliance does not start,

won’t start  

then appliance is drawing 

excessive wattage and will

not work with inverter

Motorized power tool 

Purely inductive load

Make the load not purely 

does not operate at 

inductive. Operate an 

correct speed

incandescent lamp at 

same time as motor

Television/Radio 

Snow in picture, buzz 

Keep inverter and 

interference in speaker  

antenna distant from 
each other. Use shielded 
antenna cable. Connect 
antenna to amplifier
