Questions and answers
Inverter light is off. Bulk light is flashing. No other lights. No power out if the inverter. On button is in. Circuit breakers are in. Reset button makes no change. What can i do to get inverter on?
To troubleshoot a Vanner LIFESTAR 20-1050CUL-DC inverter with an off light, a flashing bulk light, and no power output, do the following:
1. Check utility power – A flashing light may indicate that utility (shore) power is present.
2. Check GFCI – Reset the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on the receptacle.
3. Check battery connections – Ensure battery terminals are secure and free of corrosion.
4. Check DC fuses – Inspect and replace blown DC fuses if utility power is off.
5. Check battery voltage – Recharge the battery if voltage is below 10.5 VDC.
6. Check for poor DC wiring – Inspect for loose or corroded DC connections.
7. Check for heavy DC load – Reduce load if it is causing voltage dips.
These steps address issues indicated by flashing LEDs and a lack of power output.

i have this unit does it always have to be installed to a 120 volt outlet in oreder to opperate
No, the Vanner LIFESTAR 20-1050CUL-DC operates as a 12 VDC to 120 VAC inverter, meaning it primarily runs on a 12V DC power source, such as a deep-cycle battery. However, it has an AC input for battery charging and includes a transfer relay that requires a DC source to function. It does not need to be continuously connected to a 120-volt outlet to operate as an inverter.
