    Why Purkeys 1200+ Inverter has no AC output, Yellow LED is lit and Green LED is not lit?
    • M
      Marc WagnerJul 31, 2025
      If your Purkeys Inverter isn't providing AC output, the yellow LED is lit, and the green LED isn't lit, it could be due to the DC input being below 10.5 volts. Test the batteries and perform a voltage drop test. Also, inspect the vehicle's charging system.

    Why motorized power tool does not operate at correct speed with Purkeys 1200+?
    • Y
      ygonzalezAug 8, 2025
      If a motorized power tool isn't operating at the correct speed with your Purkeys Inverter, it might be due to a purely inductive load. To resolve this, make the load not purely inductive by operating an incandescent lamp at the same time as the motor.

    • R
      Rodney DuncanAug 13, 2025
      If your Purkeys Inverter's low battery alarm is sounding, it is likely due to low battery voltage. Recharge or replace the batteries. Also, check the vehicle charging system.

    Why Purkeys 1200+ Inverter has Yellow LED lit when power is on?
    • J
      James SanchezAug 17, 2025
      If your Purkeys Inverter has the yellow LED lit when the power is on, it indicates weak batteries or cable issues. Test the batteries and conduct a voltage drop test.

    Why motorized power tool won't start with Purkeys Inverter?
    • R
      Robert WyattAug 21, 2025
      If a motorized power tool won't start with your Purkeys Inverter, it's likely due to an excessive start-up load. If the appliance doesn't start, it's drawing too much wattage and won't work with this inverter. Check with a Kill-a-Watt tester.

    Why Purkeys Inverter red LED light turns off and on and the on/off switch is on?
    • C
      Carly MorseAug 26, 2025
      If the red LED light on your Purkeys Inverter turns off and on while the on/off switch is on, the timer has timed out because the inverter has been used for the entire run time during the set period. You must wait until the remaining time of the set period expires or reset the timer.
