Product Features

Front Panel

The Front Panel view shows the inverters ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC 
Outlets, and Ground Terminal. 

•  ON/OFF Switch 

This switch controls AC output of the inverter. 

•  Operating LED (Green) 

When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating normally.

•  The FAULT  indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down because of: 

Excessive Temperature, Overload, Under Voltage, or Over voltage. 
Immediately turn off  all AC appliances if the FAULT LED is lit. Allow the 
inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents 
are not blocked.

If an  inverter “shutdown” was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may 
excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem.

Observe the Digital Display for low battery voltage. Normal operating 
range is 10.5V to 15V DC.

•  Digital Display 

The Digital Display Shows the DC Voltage input that the inverter senses 
at its terminals. Low battery, excessive load for the cables can cause 
a low voltage reading and inverter shutdown. Low battery is also 
indicated when the Audible Alarm sounds. An alternative display shows 
the “Percent of Load that the inverter can handle”. If the inverter has 
excessive load “OVL” will be displayed.

•  Audible Alarm (internal to the inverter)

When the audible Alarm makes a buzzing sound, the inverter senses a 
low battery condition. The user should reduce the AC load, charge the 
battery, and check the DC cable or excessive losses.

•  Ground Terminal

Grounding the Inverter Enclosure ensures personnel safety should a DC 
cable problem occur. During the installation procedure, the Ground 
Terminal is connected either to a vehicle chassis or to the Negative DC 
Terminal of the battery. Do not directly connect this ground connection to 
the negative DC terminal of the inverter. Use an insulated 10 gauge wire 
to make the ground connection. If the inverter installation is located in 
fixed location, the safety wire can be connected to earth’s ground.
