Need help?
Do you have a question about the CSW2012-X and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have a CSW 2012-HX remote says r2.4 and will not power up? How do I fix it? Thanks
To fix a Magnum Dimensions CSW2012-HX inverter that will not power up:
1. Check Battery Voltage: Make sure the input battery voltage is above 10.5 VDC. If it's too low, recharge the battery and verify it is properly connected.
2. Check Error Codes: If the inverter shows an error code, use the error code table (Table 4-1) in the CSW2012X manual to identify the issue and follow the suggested corrective action.
3. Check Remote Display Setting: If the remote display shows "PS0" (inverter disabled), change it to "PS1" (inverter enabled) using the remote display unit. Follow the instructions in section 3 of the CSW2012X manual.
4. Avoid Overload: Make sure you are not powering too many devices at once. Turn on appliances one at a time to prevent overload or surge issues.
5. Verify Connections: Ensure all cables between the battery and inverter are properly connected and not too short or loose.
These steps should help resolve the issue with the inverter not powering up.
