5. Connect your 240V appliance to the inverter and ensure it is switched off.
6. Turn the inverter power switch on.
WARNING! You may observe a spark when you turn the inverter power on since current may
flow to charge capacitors inside. Do not turn the inverter on in the presence of flammable
fumes, as an explosion or fire may result.
The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 60°C. The cooler the better.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Television Interference: Operation of the power inverter may interfere with television reception.
If this situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the problem:
• Turn other loads operating from the inverter off to see if this fixes the problem.
• Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate (“snow free”) signal and
you are using a good quality cable between the antenna and the television. Move the antenna
further away from the inverter.
• Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.
• Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as possible and twist them
together with about six twists per metre. This minimises radiated interference from the cables.
Problem and Symptom
Possible cause
Solution
No output and power
indicator not illuminated.
• Inverter switched off.
• No power to inverter.
• Low battery voltage.
• Switch on inverter.
• Check inverter / battery
wiring.
• Re-charge battery and
check connection and
cables. Switch inverter
power switch off and back
on to re-start inverter.
Appliance works for a short
term and then stops
working. Power illuminator
extinguishes.
• Unit overloaded.
• Unit overloaded.
• Inverter has got too hot.
• Check battery has enough
charge. Re-charge battery.
• Power rating of appliance is
too high. Use a higher
power rated inverter.
• Let inverter cool down and
restart, or reduce inverter
load.
Low output voltage when
measured with a multimeter.
• Using average reading
multimeter.
• Use a True RMS reading
meter.
