8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

8.1 COMMON PROBLEMS:

POWER TOOLS AND MICROWAVE OVENS WON'T START
Read the information panel on each power tool carefully to accurately determine
the tool's input wattage. The wattage output is sufficient to operate most power
tools and microwave ovens, but remember, the power needed to start the power
tool may be as much as 2 to 6 times its continuous wattage requirements.
"BUZZING" SOUND IN AUDIO SYSTEMS AND/OR SNOW IN TVS
Inverters are shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. Ensure that the TV
antenna provides an adequate "snow free" signal and the antenna cable is high
quality and shielded without the inverter operating. The problem may not
be with the inverter. However, in some cases, some interference may be visible,
particularly with weak TV signals. Try the following corrective measures:
• Position the TV and antenna further away from the inverter, if it is the cause
of interference. Adjust the antenna, or use commercial cable hook-up (if possi-
ble) for best results
• Do not operate high-power appliances or tools when you are watching TV
• Make sure inverter's case is properly grounded as described in section 5.5.2
item 16
INVERTER SHUTS DOWN OR BATTERY FUSE OPENS
Inverter will continuously deliver rated watts (FIGURE 6) of AC power
continuously and will deliver rated peak watts ; after which, the inverter may
shut itself down, or the battery fuse will open, due to overload or excessive load
demand on start-up. Replace battery fuse, if opened. Allow the inverter to cool
for at least 15 minutes before attempting to start or run a high current draw
device. Reduce the load on the inverter to its maximum rated output power.
