Trouble Shooting

Problem: No Power Output, indicator not ON

Possible causes and suggestions:

• The Car’s battery is low (<11.5Vdc) or defective

Start the engine to recharge or replace the car’s battery if
needed. Disconnect the input cable before starting the car’s
engine to minimize power surge. If such a case occurs,
reconnect the cable to resume normal operation.

• Connection cable is not secured

Reconnect the cables and make sure all plugs are secured.

• Equipment being operated draws too much power

Reduce load to continuous 100 watts or below.

• Inverter in thermal shut down condition

Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation
around the unit.

• Inverter Fuse blown

Unplug the power cable and replace the fuse following fuse
replacement instruction.

• Automotive Fuse for Cigarette Lighter Blown

Check and replace the fuse for your car's cigarette lighter
following the instructions in your car's service manual.

• Inverter is overloaded

Reduce load to continuous 100 watts or below.

• Input voltage below 11.5Vdc

Keep input voltage above 12Vdc to maintain regulation.
Replace the car’s battery if needed.

Safety Precautions

• This device outputs 240Volts of electricity just as a wall
socket does. Exercise extreme care that nothing comes in
contact with the AC connector.

• Do not use in the presence of water or moisture.

• Do not attempt to open the inverter. Tampering with the
inverter may cause injuries and will void the warranty

• Do not use or place the inverter near flammable
materials or any locations that may accumulate flammable
fumes or gases.

• To avoid potential property damage, do not leave this
inverter or any device operating unattended in vehicle.

• Always disconnect the input (remove CLA from power
socket) to the inverter when it is not in use.

• Disconnect the input cable before starting your car or RV
to minimize surges.

• Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse
and may cause permanent damage to the inverter
(Damage due to reversed polarity is not covered by our
warranty).

• Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.

• Improper use of this inverter can cause personal injury,

property damage, and or loss of life.
