Troubleshooting 

PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage – Fault LED Lit

Reason 

Solution 

Poor contact with battery, inverter 

terminals or DC socket. 

Clean terminals thoroughly. Reinstall 

and tighten. Clean DC socket with non-

metallic abrasive emery stick.

PROBLEM: No Output Voltage – No LEDs Lit

Reason 

Solution 

Fuse blown

Check vehicle’s Accessory Socket Fuse 

and if blown, replace with the same 

type and rating fuse.

PROBLEM: Inverter is Shut Down – Fault LED Lit

Reason 

Solution 

Battery voltage below 10 volts 

Charge or replace battery. 

Inverter is too hot (thermal shut down 

mode). 

•  Allow inverter to cool. 
•  Check for adequate ventilation. 
•  Reduce the load on the inverter to 

rated continuous power output. 

PROBLEM: Inverter Shut Down – Fault LED Lit 

Reason 

Solution

Equipment being operated draws too 

much power. 

Use a higher wattage inverter or do not 

use this equipment. 

PROBLEM: Continuous Buzzing Sound 

Reason 

Solution 

Input voltage below 10.5 volts 

Keep input voltage above 10.5 volts 

Poor or weak battery condition. 

Recharge or replace battery. 

Poor or loose cable connection 

Inspect terminals and tighten all con-

nections. 

Inadequate power being delivered to 

the inverter or excessive voltage drop. 

•  Use heavier gauge DC cable. 
•  Keep cable length as short as 

possible.

Disposal/Recycling of Inverter 

Electronic products are known to contain materials that are toxic if improperly 
disposed. Contact local authorities for disposal and recycling information.
