Operating Limits 

Power Output

The inverter can deliver 2500 watts for about 60 minutes. 

The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can 

resume operation at 2500 watts. Note: The wattage  

rating applies to resistive loads.
The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power 

rating. Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps, 

and other motor-operated equipment require very high 

surge currents to start. The inverter may not be able  

to start some of these motors even though their rated  

current draw is within the inverter’s limits. The inverter  

will normally start single phase induction motors rated  

at one-half HP or less.

Input Voltage

The inverter will operate from input voltage ranging  

from 10 volts to 15 volts. Optimum performance will  

occur when the voltage is between 12 volts and 14 volts. 

If the voltage drops below 11.3V +/- 0.3V, an audible low 

battery warning will sound. The inverter will shut down 

if the input voltage drops below 10.3V +/- 0.3V. This 

protects the battery from being over-discharged. It will 

restart when the input voltage exceeds 12V+/-0.3V.
The inverter will also shut down if the input voltage 

exceeds 15.5V+/-0.5V. This protects the inverter  

against excessive input voltage. Although the inverter  

has protection against over-voltage, it may still be 

damaged if the input voltage were to exceed 16 volts.

condition

Solution
Reduce the load.
Recharge battery. 

Check connections 

and cable.
Allow inverter  

to cool off.
Reduce load, 

continuous 

operation input 

current required.
Improve ventilation; 

Make sure ventilation 

openings in the 

inverter are not 

obstructed.
Reduce ambient 

temperature.
Make sure  

the inverter is 

connected to  

12V battery.
Check regulation  

of charging system.
Check load for 

proper operation.
Turn inverter on

Check wiring  

to inverter.
Observe  

correct polarity.
Check connections.
Make sure battery  

is fully charged.
