ON/OFF Switch
This switch turns the inverter ON and OFF.
Over Temp LED
This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down because of excessive temperature.
Immediately turn off appliances if this occurs. Allow the inverter to cool before continuing.
Internal high-speed cooling fans automatically turn on when the inverter is switched on to
provide instant cooling. The inverter may overheat when it is being used in a location that does
not allow for adequate ventilation.
Overload LED
This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down from an overload condition. Immediately
turn off some appliances to reduce the load. If the continuous combined power requirement
of appliances exceeds the inverters continuous rating, the inverter will overload. Sometime an
appliance with very high start-up load will cause an inverter to shut down. If battery condition
and cables do not support the load, then more batteries and heavier cables may be required.
Bar Graph Displays
The inverter is equipped with two bar graph displays to monitor DC input to the inverter. These
are used to help diagnose problems if they occur.
Volts Display:
The volts display is the measurement of the voltage at the DC terminals of the inverter, not actual
battery voltage. During high wattage applications the display may show a lower voltage level
than the battery because of a voltage drop that can occur between the DC input cables and
the battery. This voltage drop should not be greater than 0.25 to 0.5 volts, as a greater voltage
will seriously reduce run time. This inverter will operate with the following input voltage range,
varying by model:
#
3744
—
10-15V DC Input
#
3744-4
—
20-30V DC Input
#
3744-8
—
40-60V DC Input
The inverter is equipped with an alarm and shut down feature based on these changes in input
voltage:
Feature:
#3744 (12V)
#3744-4 (24V)
#3744-8 (48V)
Alarm sounds when input voltage
drops below:
10.5V ± 0.5V DC
21.0V ± 1.0V DC
42.0V ± 2.0V DC
Inverter shuts down when input
voltage drops below:
10.0V ± 0.5V DC
20.0V ± 1.0V DC
40.0V ± 2.0V DC
Inverter shuts down when input
voltage rises above:
>15.0V DC
>30.0V DC
>60.0V DC
During charging from a generator, solar panel or AC powered charger the battery voltage
will be higher than when it is resting. Voltages greater than allowed may cause damage to the
inverter. Damage caused by excessive voltage input is not covered under the warranty.
