Troubleshooting Tips - CEN-TECH 200 watt continuous Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the alarm sounds, this means that
the input voltage is at or below 10.9 V.
Stop using the Power Inverter
and recharge the battery.
If this is not done, the Inverter will
shut off automatically at 10.5 V.
• If you are unsure if the inverter will
have the proper amount of current to
run your devices, add up the total of
the continuous wattage for the items.
If this figure is under 200 watts, then the
Inverter will be able to run the
items at the same time.
• If your product, such as a television
will not start, it is important to keep in
mind that some appliances (including
many televisions) may require two to
six times their wattage to start up.
• If your audio system buzzes while using
this inverter, it is because some sound
systems can not filter out the modified
sine wave produced by the inverter.
Use a sound system that incorporates
a higher quality power supply.

• This inverter is made to minimize the
interference with TV signals. However,
especially with weak TV signals,
some interference may still be visible.
To correct this, place the inverter as far
away as possible from the television
antenna and it's cables. Next, adjust
the orientation of the inverter to
the antenna cables and TV power
cord to minimize the interference.
Also use a shielded antenna cable.
• If the low battery alarm is on all the
time, try these corrective measures:
Recharge battery if in poor condition.
Next, check the battery connection.
You may need to clean the connectors.
• If you are getting a low output voltage,
try reducing the load to minimize watts.
You may have overloaded the inverter.
Reduce the number of watts you
are powering. Also, keep input
voltage above 11 volts to maintain
a constant flow of power.
• If you are not getting any power output,
turn the power switch Off and On again.
The devices may draw too much
power to operate them. The
inverter may be in thermal shutdown.
Let it cool down and make sure there is
adequate ventilation around the unit.
