note: When the inverter shuts down due to activation of protection, the GreeN Status
LeD (#4, fig 2.1) will switch off.
1. over temperature protectIon – If the temperature inside the unit is too high,
the unit will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes
before restarting after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.
2. LoW Battery voLtaGe protectIon - The unit automatically shuts down when
input voltage drops to around 10.5V ± 0.3V. Automatic reset at 11.5V ± 0.3V.
3. over voLtaGe protectIon – The unit will automatically shut down when the
input voltage exceeds 15.4V ± 0.2V.
4. overLoad protectIon – The unit will automatically shut down when the continu-
ous surge/draw exceeds rated watts. Will remain latched in shut-down condition. To
reset, unplug the unit from the 12V Power outlet, wait for 3 minutes and then plug
it back in firmly.
5. SHort cIrcuIt protectIon – The unit will shut down. Will remain latched in
shut-down condition. To reset, unplug the unit from the 12V Power outlet, wait
for 3 minutes and then plug it back in firmly.
6. Ground fauLt protectIon – This unit complies with the standard current leakage
allowance. When large current leakage to Ground Terminal occurs, the protection
circuit is activated and shuts down the unit. Will remain latched in shut-down
condition. To reset, unplug the unit from the 12V Power outlet, wait for 3 minutes
and then plug it back in firmly.
If the unit is overloaded, and the GreeN Status LeD (#4, fig 2.1) is not lit, the internal
fuse in the top of the 12V Power Plug portion may be blown.
1. Unscrew the fuse holder cap (counterclockwise)
2. remove the end contact, cap and fuse.
3. Inspect the fuse to see if it is good or blown.
4. replace with a new fuse of same type, same dimension and same ampere rating:
10a, 250v, fast-acting; dimensions: 0.25” x 1.25”; type: aGc-10
5. Carefully reassemble the fuse, end contact and cap.
