Common Audio/Visual Problems

Problem Explanation/Recommendation
Buzzing sound in audio Some inexpensive stereo systems and boom boxes make a buzzing
systems sound when operated from the inverter, because the power supply in
the electronic device does not properly filter the modified sine wave
produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a
sound system that has a higher quality power supply.
Problem: Television The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals.
Interference however, in some instances, some interference may still be visible,
especially when the TV signal is weak. Try the following to improve the
picture:
1. Move the Inverter as far away as possible from the TV set, the
antenna, and the antenna cables. Use a short AC extension cord, if
necessary.
2. Adjust the orientation of the antenna cables, and the TV power cord
to minimize interference.
3. Make sure that the antenna feeding the TV provides an adequate
(snow-free) signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is
used.
Fault Conditions
Input Output Possible Cause
LED LED
Color Color
Yellow Low input voltage
Red Battery voltage below
10.5 volts
Red Equipment being
operated draws too
much power
Red Inverter in thermal
shutdown condition
Red AC output is shorted
Red or Yellow Fault LED Indicator Lights
The red Fault LED indicates inverter shutdown from input fault, over temperature fault or overload /
short circuit fault and the yellow Fault LED indicates an input fault.
Recommendation
Start Engine
Recharge battery or check DC power supply.
Reduce load to maximum 800 watts.
Allow inverter to cool down. Ensure there is adequate
ventilation around the load is no more than 800 watts for
continuous operation.
Unplug the AC appliance. Disconnect the unit from any 12
volt DC power source. Check the appliance cord. Refer to
the Service Information section that follows.
