Troubleshooting guide 

Problem 

Possible cause 

Solution 

Low output voltage (96 to 105 volts) 

Using a voltmeter which cannot 
properly read the RMS voltage of 
a modified sine wave 

Use a TRUE RMS reading voltmeter 

Fault  indicator ON  

Low input voltage 
 
 
 
 
 
 
High input voltage 
 
Short circuit or AC wiring error 
 
 
 
Inverter overload 
 

Not enough  battery capacity 
 
Recharge batteries 
 
Improper installation. Check each 
inverter’s  installation steps 
  
Check vehicle alternator conditon  
 
Check the AC wiring (120 volts) and 
test your appliances on an other power 
supply to validate their fonctionality 
 
Remove or reduce load, switch the 
inverter OFF at least 5 second and 
restart the inverter 

No output voltage  

Inverter off 
 
No DC power to the inverter 
 
 
 
 
Reverse DC polarity 

Turn the inverter on 
 
Check the wiring 
 
Check battery fuse et check the 
installation before changing it 
 
Replace internal fuses of  the inverter. 
Damage caused by reversed polarity is 
not covered by the warranty. 

Alarm on all the time 
 
“LVP” code on remote display 

Poor battery condition 
 
Poor DC wiring 
 
 
Poor DC terminal lugs connections 

Charge or change battery 
 
Use proper cables and make solid 
connections 
 
Use proper crimping tool 

Overheat indicator on 

Thermal shutdown 
 
Improper installation 

Reduce load 
 
Allow inverter to cool off 
 
Improve ventilation 
 
Install properly
