3.4 Protections and automatic restarts
Overload
Some loads like motors or pumps draw large inrush currents in a start-up situation. In such
circumstances, it is possible that the start-up current exceeds the over current trip level of the
inverter. In this case the output voltage will quickly decrease to limit the output current of the
inverter. If the over current trip level is continuously exceeded, the inverter will shut down: wait
30 seconds and then restart.
After three restarts followed by another overload within 30 seconds of restarting, the inverter
will shutdown and remain off. The LEDs will signal shutdown due to overload. To restart the
inverter, switch it Off, then On.
Low battery voltage (adjustable)
The inverter will shut down when the DC input voltage drops below the low battery shutdown
level. After a minimum delay of 30 seconds, the inverter will restart if the voltages rise above
the low battery restart level.

Trouble shooting
Red LED Off
status OK
Red LED On or blinking:
The Inverter is still on, but will shut down when the
condition gets worse. See red LED table for warning
reason
Red LED Off
Check operational mode by pushing push button one time.
Check Remote on/off connector.
Check DC cable connections and fuses.
Red LED On or blinking
The inverter did shut down because of a protection. It will
no longer automatically restart. The red LED indicates the
reason for shutdown. Remove the cause and then restart
the inverter by switching it Off, and then back On.
Trouble shooting
Reduce load
Recharge or replace battery
Check DC cable connections
Check cable cross section as it may be insufficient.
See section 4.2 Protections and automatic restarts for
manual and automatic restart behavior.
Reduce DC input voltage, check for faulty charger
Reduce load and/or move inverter to better ventilated area
Check DC cable connections and cable cross section.
