*All ratings at 25 °C unless otherwise listed
Check all connections including the wire harness between the remote and the inverter
Call the PDI service department
Check the AC wiring to make sure that wires aren't touching each other
Check each AC load for failure
Determine surge requirements for AC loads. Motorized loads may draw peak power greater than the peak power rating
Make sure DC input wire size and length comply with Figure 15
Tighten DC input connections
Ensure all DC input connections are tightened
Ensure that all any external DC disconnect switches are in the on position
Ensure that the DC input wires are connected to positive and negative correctly (not reversed)
If using the remote display panel, make sure that it is connected to the inverter using the provided 50' cable
Ensure that the equipment ground wire is properly secured to the equipment ground lug
