LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION

The LED glows GREEN automatically when plugged into a 12 volt DC source,
but will not glow under the following conditions:
1. When the power input from the vehicle's battery drops to approximately 10
volts, low battery shutdown occurs and the converter shuts off.
Recharge or replace the battery.
2. When the power input from the vehicle's battery exceeds 15 volts, high voltage
protection occurs. Reduce the voltage range to between 12 volts and 14 volts.
3. The case temperature becomes hot (exceeds 145°F).
Allow the converter to cool. Do not block the cooling slots or air flow
over and through the converter. Reduce the load on the converter to the
continuous rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs, remove the 12 volt plug from the
accessory outlet. Check the source of the problem and correct. Reinsert the
12 volt plug into the accessory outlet.
Your power converter is fitted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced
under normal operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse
polarity or a short circuit within the device or equipment being operated.
If the fuse does blow:
1. Disconnect the device or equipment immediately.
2. Find the source of the problem and repair it.
3. Install a new 15 amp fuse. The fuse can be found on the end of the
accessory plug on the converter.
4. Do not overtighten the fuse cap; finger-tight is sufficient.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a fuse higher than 15 amps, as this may damage
the converter. Make sure to correct the cause of the blown fuse before using
the converter again.
PROBLEM
LEDs do not light,
or converter does
not function.
Green LED is
flashing.

IF THE CONVERTER'S FUSE BLOWS

TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Poor contact at terminals.
Blown fuse.
Converter has shut down.
The continuous load demand
of the device being operated
exceeds the continuous load
rating of the converter.
REASON/SOLUTION
Unplug and reinsert the 12V plug.
Replace the fuse.
See LED Indicator and
Shutdown Protection section.
Use a higher capacity converter
or a lower rated device.
