CHARGER LED:
- indicates charging, but no charge is
occurring to the batteries
Circuit breaker on side of inverter is
open
Engage ’AC INPUT’ circuit breaker on side of unit
- is on, but no output power No AC voltage on inverter AC terminal
block.
Check ’AC PASS-THRU’ circuit breaker on side of
inverter
Good AC voltage on inverter AC
terminal block.
Check for open AC output breakers or fuses and AC
wiring connections
Charger is inoperative or giving a low
charge rate
AC voltage has dropped out-of-
tolerance
Check your AC voltage for proper voltage and
frequency of your model.
Charger controls improperly set (check
charge rate)
Refer to owner’s manual for the proper setting (adjust
charge rate)
Low peak AC input voltage (164 volts
peak required for full charger output)
Use larger generator (increasing AC voltage/RPM ’s
on present generator may help)
AC current output of generator too
small to handle the load
Reduce charge amps setting or reduce pass through
loads
Loose or corroded battery cable
connections.
Check and clean all cable connections
Loose AC output connections Check all AC output wiring connections
Generator is unstable - charger is losin
g
synchronization
Turn battery charger rate knob down to less than half-
way until problem is gone
AC lights flicker while charging Generator is unstable - charger is losin
g
synchronization
Turn battery charger rate knob down to less than half-
way until problem is gone
Charger turns down while charging from a
generator
High peak AC input voltage from
generator (inverter is trying to protect
itself).
Load generator down with a heavy load.
Turning generator output voltage down may help (may
turn peak voltage down, but be aware of your loads on
the AC output running at a lower voltage)
