Solution
Use a true RMS reading voltmeter.
Check the connections and cable to
see if the battery is fully charged.
Recharge the battery if it is low.
Reduce the load.
Turn the inverter on.
Check the wiring to the inverter and
to the Disconnect/Battery Selector
switch.
The inverter has probably been
damaged. Return the unit. Damage
caused by reverse polarity is not
covered by the warranty. Information
for returning the inverter is provided
in the Warranty section
Solution
Recharge the battery; check the connections
and cable. Make sure the Mobile Digital
Power Inverter is connected to a 12 V battery
check the voltage regulation of the charging
system. Allow the unit to cool off. Reduce the
load if continuous operation is required.
Improve ventilation. Make sure the inverter's
ventilation openings are not obstructed.
Reduce the ambient temperature.
Reduce the load. Make sure the load does not
exceed the Mobile Digital Power Inverter's
output rating.
Remove the short circuit.
Use proper cable size and lengths and make
solid connections. Charge the battery.
Install a new battery
Turn off the unit then wait about 3 to 5
seconds before turning it on again
