• Coil the television power cord or install a clamp-on ferrite choke (available from electronic
parts suppliers).
Note: Some inexpensive audio systems may have a slight “buzzing” sound when operated with
the inverter. This is caused by insufficient filtering in the audio system. The only solution to this
problem is to get a sound system with a higher quality power supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Low or no output voltage
Reason
Solution
Poor contact with battery terminals
Clean terminals thoroughly
Using incorrect type of voltmeter to test
output voltage
Use true RMS reading meter
PROBLEM: Inverter is shut down
Reason
Solution
Battery voltage below rated value.
Recharge or replace battery
Equipment being operated draws too much
power
Cable gauge may be inadequate—use heavier
cables
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
Unit may be defective
See warranty and call customer service
PROBLEM: TV/audio interference
Reason
Solution
Electrical interference from the inverter
Add a ferrite data line filter on to the TV
power cord
PROBLEM: Low battery alarm on all the time
Reason
Solution
Input voltage below rated value.
Increase input voltage m
aintain regulation.
Poor or weak battery condition
Recharge or replace battery
Poor or loose cable connection
Inspect terminals and tighten all connections
Inadequate power being delivered to the
inverter or excessive voltage drop
Use lower gauge wire
Keep wire length as short as possible
