Load Level Indicator:
The load level indicator indicates the power drawn from the power inverter output. It
will indicate total watts drawn by all loads.
For long-term operation, the level should be in the green and orange areas of the bar
graph. Short-term operation is possible with wattage in the red area. If the wattage
rise to the "Blinking Red" the inverter will protect itself, and may reduce its output
voltage or shut down entirely.
5-4.
Fault Indicator:
The over voltage indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down
because its input voltage has been over the high limit.
6. Operating Limits:
6-1.
Power Output:
Some motors used in refrigerators, freezers, pumps and other motor-operated
equipment require very high surge currents to start, often as much as 6 – 7 times rated.
The power inverter may not be able to start some of these motors, even though their
rated current draw is within the power inverter.
If the motor refuses to start, observe the battery voltage indicator while trying to start
the motor. If the battery voltage indicator drops below the low input level while the
inverter is attempting to start the motor, this may be the reason the motor won't start.
Make sure that the battery connections are good and that the battery is fully charged.
If the connections are good and the battery is charged, but the voltage still drops
below the low voltage level, you may need to use a larger battery, or larger wire.
6-2.
Input Voltage:
The power inverter will operate from input voltages ranging from 10.9V – 14.7V (12V
version) 21.8V – 29.4V (24V version), or 43.6V - 58.5V (48V version). If the voltage
drops below 10.5V (12V version), 21V (24V version), an audible low battery warning
will sound and the voltage indicator will be in slow blinking red. The power inverter
will shut down if the input voltage drops below 10V (12V version), 20V (24V
version), or 40V (48V version).
