    What to do if the Trace Engineering SW II - REV 4.01 Inverter charger drops off before full charging and ERROR LED flashes?
    • P

      If the Trace Engineering Inverter's charger drops off before fully charging and the ERROR LED flashes while the AC output drops momentarily, it might be due to cold temperatures affecting the Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS). Try disconnecting the BTS during charging or increasing the HIGH BATTERY CUTOUT setting.

    Why is the AC IN GOOD LED flashing on my Trace Engineering Inverter, but it won't start charging?
    • A
      Angela MartinezAug 17, 2025
      If the Trace Engineering Inverter's AC IN GOOD LED is flashing but it won't start charging, give it 40 seconds to synchronize. If it still doesn't charge, the AC frequency at the input terminal may be out of tolerance, or the AC voltage may be outside the 'Upper/Lower VAC limit' settings. If you're using a generator, adjust the AC voltage or frequency accordingly.

    Why does my Trace Engineering SW II - REV 4.01 Inverter charger stop before full charge, even without an error?
    • W
      William PhillipsAug 21, 2025
      If the Trace Engineering Inverter charger stops before fully charging, even without an error, it could be due to several reasons: 1. The AC frequency at the input terminal might be too high or low, or the AC voltage is outside the specified limits. If you're using a generator, adjust its voltage and frequency, reduce the 'Set AC Amps' to lower the load, or widen the 'Upper/Lower VAC limit' settings. 2. The circuit breaker on the inverter might be open. Engage the circuit breaker on the side of the unit. 3. The unit might be overheating. Cool it down, check the cooling fan, and ensure nothing is blocking airflow.

    Why is the charger output low on my Trace Engineering Inverter?
    • S
      Stacy LewisAug 25, 2025
      If the Trace Engineering Inverter has low charger output, check the following: 1. Ensure all battery connections are clean and tight. 2. Verify all AC wiring connections are secure. 3. Consider replacing weak or soft batteries. 4. Make sure the battery cables meet the recommendations in the owner’s manual.

    How to fix a Trace Engineering SW II - REV 4.01 that won't turn on?
    • R
      Randy BeckAug 27, 2025
      If your Trace Engineering Inverter won't turn on and no LEDs are lit, with a blank control panel display, the DC voltage on the inverter's DC terminals may be incorrect. Check the battery voltage, fuses, breakers, and DC cable connections to the inverter. If the DC voltage is correct, the unit may need servicing.

    What causes low AC output voltage on a Trace Engineering Inverter?
    • R
      Robert HowardAug 31, 2025
      If the AC output voltage of your Trace Engineering Inverter has fallen below the SET INPUT LOWER LIMIT VAC setting, the cause could be high battery voltage or an excessively large load.

    What to do if there's no AC power output and the INVERT LED is flashing on my Trace Engineering SW II - REV 4.01?
    • M
      Melinda SmithSep 3, 2025
      If the Trace Engineering Inverter's AC power output is absent and the INVERT LED is flashing, the AC load might be too small for the Search mode circuit to detect. Try reducing the search watts setting, increasing the load above the search watts setting, or disabling search mode by selecting ON.

    What does GENERATOR START ERROR mean on my Trace Engineering SW II - REV 4.01?
    • K
      kathy74Sep 6, 2025
      If the Trace Engineering Inverter shows a GENERATOR START ERROR after five attempts to start the generator, reset the auto generator control system by selecting OFF and then AUTO or ON from the SET GENERATOR menu.

    What does GENERATOR SYNC ERROR mean on Trace Engineering Inverter?
    • K
      Kelly BlackSep 9, 2025
      If the Trace Engineering Inverter displays a GENERATOR SYNC ERROR, check the generator's output voltage and frequency and ensure that the 'Set Input lower or upper limit VAC' is set correctly.
