Common Problems; Troubleshooting - Husky HSK065HD Owner's Manual & Warranty

When the condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted.
Over Voltage Protection - The Husky Power Inverter will automatically shut down when
the input voltage exceeds 15.5 volts DC.
Short Circuit Protection - Reverse polarity or short circuit condition may cause external
or internal fuses to open and may cause irreversible damage to the inverter. Take extra
care to insure a proper polarity hook-up.
Overload Protection - The inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous
draw exceeds 750 watts. When the overload is removed, the inverter will self-start.
Over Temperature Protection - If the temperature inside the Husky Power Inverter
reaches 150 degrees F, the unit will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool
for at least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit
while cooling.
Low Battery Alarm - An alarm will sound when the voltage from the battery drops
below 10.6 volts. This is an indication that the battery needs to be recharged. The user
should stop operation of the electronic device at this time, since the inverter will shut
down automatically shortly thereafter, when the battery voltage drops to 10 volts. Start
your engine to recharge the battery.
If the low voltage alarm sounds when the battery is fully charged, follow the steps for
solving lack of output power in the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual. The
alarm will sound when the inverter is overloaded, over-temperature or if there is an
excessive voltage drop between the battery and the inverter.
NOTE: It is normal for the alarm to sound while the unit is being connected to, or
disconnected from, the power source. This is not indicative of a problem.

COMMON PROBLEMS

"Buzzing" sound in audio systems:
Some inexpensive stereo systems and "boom boxes" emit a buzzing sound from their
speakers when operated from the Husky Power Inverter power inverter. This occurs
because the power supply in the electronic device does not adequately filter the
modified sine wave produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use
a higher quality sound system that incorporates a higher quality power amplified
supply.
Television Interference:
The Husky Power Inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals.
However, in some instances, some interference may still be visible, particularly with
weak TV signals. Try the following corrective measures:
• Position the inverter as far as possible from the television, the antenna and the antenna
cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary
• Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the antenna cables and the TV power cord to
minimize interference
• Make sure that the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate ("snow free")
signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used
