    2-7-11 Over Load Protection Indicator: (OLP) The overload indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down due to the output being overloaded. The inverter must be manually restarted. Turn off the AEP-700 inverter, correct the fault condition, then, turn the AEP-700 inverter back on.
  • Page 16: Cooling Fan Operation

    2-9 Cooling Fan Operation The AEP-700’s cooling fan operates by detecting output power and over temperature conditions of the inverter. Upon starting the inverter, with the output power is under 1/2 capacity (300W), the cooling fan remains off, complying with energy savings specifications. After the output power exceeds 1/2 capacity (300W), the cooling fan will turn on to decrease the internal temperature.
