Low/High Battery Voltage Protection In the event of battery voltage going outside of the normal operating voltages of the Sinergex PureWatts Elite 300 (11- 15VDC), an audible alarm will sound and the unit will shut down. This protects internal circuitry of the inverter and the battery from excessive discharge.

CAUTION: Do not connect your 12V PureWatts Elite 300 to 24V systems, damage will result and void warranty. Overheat Protection Inverters heat up during operation – this is normal. However, if the unit’s internal temperature reaches excessive levels, a protection system shuts the unit down. Once it cools to within operating limits it will restart.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE No Output Has the cigarette lighter socket fuse blown? Many cigarette lighter sockets have small fuses to protect against accidental short-circuits. Also, Sinergex Inverters have an inline fuse within their cigarette lighter plug – check that this hasn’t blown. Is the cigarette lighter socket clean? If you are a smoker and use your cigarette lighter socket, ash and dust can build up in the socket.

Alarm Operates Continuously Has one of the inverter’s protection features activated? Your inverter is fitted with a variety of protection features: Overload – remove the load (if alarm turns off, it’s likely that the unit was overloaded). Overheat – if the unit is warm/hot to touch and was functioning normally, it’s likely that the overheat protection has activated.
Page 16
Unit gets excessively hot Your inverter will operate at beyond its continuous rating for (sometimes) lengthy periods of time – the limiting factor is heat build up within the inverter unit. If your load exceeds 300 watts – the overload or overheat protection will eventually cut Your inverter is rated for use in normal ambient temperatures.

Battery runs flat quickly Your battery should operate for a reasonable amount of time (generally several hours). As batteries age, they lose capacity. If the battery continuously runs flat, you should consider having it tested. If replacement is recommended, try to acquire a deep cycle battery that is happier being used with an inverter.
