Troubleshooting Protection Modes
The Inverter may shut down and cease supplying AC power under
certain conditions in order to protect the unit, the battery and the
connected equipment.
The LED automatically illuminates green when the Inverter is plugged
into a 12V DC power source and turned on. If conditions cause the
Inverter's LED to illuminate red, its alarm to sound or the inverter to
automatically turn itself off, follow these instructions to restore the unit
to normal operation:

Explanation
When the power input
from the vehicle's battery
drops to approximately
10.5V DC, the low-
voltage alarm will sound.
When the voltage goes
down below 10V DC, the
inverter shuts off.
When the power input
from the vehicle's
battery exceeds 16V DC,
high-voltage overload
protection occurs and
shuts down the inverter.
The continuous load
demand from the
equipment or device
being operated exceeds
the continuous load
rating of the inverter.

Solution
Start the vehicle to
recharge the battery. See
Resetting the Inverter
for more information.
Use a higher capacity
inverter or lower rated
device.
