5. PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER
Your inverter monitors the following potentially hazardous conditions:
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION – If the temperature inside the inverter
is too high, the unit will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at
least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit
while cooling.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION - This condition is not harmful to the
inverter but could damage the power source. The inverter automatically shuts
down when input voltage drops to 10.5 volts. When the condition is corrected,
the unit may be restarted.
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION – The inverter will automatically shut down
when the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC. Input voltage exceeds 16 volts
could damage the inverter.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION – The inverter will automatically shut down when
the continuous draw exceeds rated watts.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION – The inverter will shut down.
EARTH FAULT PROTECTION – This inverter comply with the standard current
leakage allowance. When large current leakage to earth terminal occurs, the
protection circuit activated and shut down the inverter, which prevent electric
shock to human. Turn OFF the inverter, unplug the fault AC appliance and then
turn ON is the only way to restart it.
LOW BATTERY ALARM – An alarm will sound when the voltage from the
battery drops to 10.9 volts. This is an indication that the battery needs to be
recharged. The user should stop operation of the electronic device at this time
since the inverter will shut down automatically shortly thereafter. Start your
engine to recharge the battery.
If the low voltage alarm sounds when the battery is fully charged, follow the
steps for solving lack of output power in the Troubleshooting guide. The alarm
may sound when the inverter is overloaded, in thermal shutdown, or if there is
an excessive voltage drop between the battery and inverter.
NOTE: It is normal for the alarm to sound while the unit is being connected to,
or disconnected from, the power source. This is not indicative of a problem.
