Possible causes for no power to the 120V outlets on the WINDY NATION PIN-1500-12P when the meter shows 14.1V input include:
1. High Battery Voltage Shutdown – The inverter shuts down if the input voltage exceeds 16V (+/-0.5V). While 14.1V is within the normal operating range (11-15VDC), a voltage spike could have triggered a shutdown.
2. Internal Fault or Protection Mode – The inverter may have entered a protection mode due to overheating, overload, or another issue.
3. Faulty AC Wiring or Connection – Ensure that the AC wiring is properly connected and that the inverter is not in standby mode.
4. Blown Fuse or Tripped Breaker – Check for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker that may be preventing power output.
5. Defective Inverter – If none of the above issues apply, the inverter itself may be faulty and require troubleshooting or replacement.

windynation INTRODUCTION The VertaMax Power Inverter is a highly reliable product that uses advanced technologies for high performance and stability. The VertaMax efficiently converts DC power from your vehicle, boat, or directly from a dedicated 12V DC battery, into 115V AC power that is commonly used in a wide variety of household AC items, such as computers, mobile phone chargers, radio, TV etc.
Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter is operating from the battery supply. Dangerous arcing may result. 1.3 S PECIFICATIONS 1.3.1 Electrical Specifications Parameter PIN-1500-12P PIN-3000-12P Continuous Rated Power 1500 Watts 3000 Watts Peak Surge Power 3000 Watts...
windynation 2.2 M OUNTING Mounting is optional for the VertaMax; however, the environment must be dry and protected from water. The VertaMax can be mounted on a vertical or horizontal surface. If mounted vertically, the unit should be oriented such that neither end is at the top so foreign material cannot settle into the unit.

windynation 3.3.4 Over Heating When the inverter exceeds a safe operating temperature, due to insufficient ventilation or an increase in ambient temperature, the alarm will beep two (2x) times and the FAULT LED will blink Red. If the over-temperature condition persists, the inverter will automatically shut down. The inverter's cooling fan(s) are temperature controlled and only activate when the inverter is approaching an unsafe operating temperature When the temperature drops, the inverter will automatically return to normal operation.
