    FULLY ISOLATED DESIGN Safety is paramount around 240V and in particular with inverters which is why Projecta fully electrically isolates the DC (and therefore battery posts, vehicle chassis, etc) from the 240V AC circuit. DESIGNED TO AS4763 Designed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4763: 2011 – Safety of Portable Inverters.

  • Page 10: Troubleshooting (Faq)

    TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ: Q. Why does the inverter turn itself off? A. If the inverter’s audible alarm sounds and a fault L.E.D illuminates, this indicates that there is a fault or error, and the inverter may turn off. Most commonly this would be caused by an appliance that is drawing too much power (overloading), low battery voltage or voltage drop due to insufficient size cables or poor connections (refer to 'Understanding your Inverter' tables, page 7).
  • Page 11 Q. How do I check or change the fuses? Pro-Wave inverters contain internal fuses and should only be checked or replaced by a qualified electrical appliance repairer. THE DC SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE ANY REPAIR, THEN TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH OF THE INVERTER “ON”...
