Troubleshooting Guide (1000 / 2000 / 3000 Watt Inverters)
Your inverter features several built-in protection features to ensure safe and efficient operation. Below is a guide which shows the typical faults that occur during normal operation and how to correct them and resume using your
inverter. If a fault occurs, you will be alerted by an audible alarm (Constant Beep for 30 seconds then silence for 5 minutes; this will repeat until the fault is resolved). The power button LED will also turn red to alert you as well.
Please refer to the table below to safely correct any problems and allow your inverter to reset and resume operation. If you have additional questions, please contact Customer Service at (800) 300-1857.

What to do
Recharge your battery, or connect the
inverter to a new, fully charged battery
Connect to a 12 Volt battery
Disconnect your devices and ensure
that your combined power draw is less than
1000W, 2000W, or 3000W (varies by inverter) power button again for 2 seconds to turn on.
Disconnect any devices and allow the
inverter to cool down for 10 minutes
Ensure that nothing is blocking the cooling
fan and that air is circulating freely
around the inverter.
AC Outlet Reset Button (3000 Watt inverters):
The 3000 Watt inverter features AC outlets equipped with a manual reset button. This
button which acts as a breaker for the outlet in the event of an overload or if the connected
device is short-circuited.
If these faults occur, the button will pop out and the outlet will shut off. Unplug the
connected item and press the button to reset.
Rather than shutting the entire inverter down, the other outlets are not affected and will still
operate as long as they do not also experience a fault.
