  If your Xantrex Inverter shows no output voltage and the status LED is red, it could be due to several reasons: * **Low input voltage (error code E01):** Verify the unit is connected to a 12V battery, check the DC connections and cable, and recharge the battery. * **High input voltage (error code E02):** Ensure the unit is connected to a 12V battery and check the voltage regulation of the external charging system, if any. * **Unit overload or AC output short circuit (error code E03):** Reduce the load, ensuring it does not exceed the output rating. * **Thermal shutdown (error code E04):** Allow the unit to cool off, reduce the load for continuous operation, improve ventilation, and ensure the inverter’s ventilation openings are not blocked.

  If your Xantrex Inverter LCD screen shows no output voltage, but the green status LED for Battery mode is illuminated, consider the following: * **GFCI tripped:** Check the load and reset the GFCI or supplementary breaker. * **Circuit breaker tripped:** Reset the circuit breaker or check the AC output disconnect circuits. * **Low battery voltage:** Check DC connections and cable and recharge the battery. The LCD screen may display DC voltage as 000.

  If your Xantrex Inverter LCD screen shows no output voltage and neither of the green status LEDs (for Grid mode and Battery mode) is illuminated: * **Check AC shore power:** Make sure AC shore power is available and within the operating range. Turn the inverter ON. * **Inverter shutdown:** Check AC shore power and battery voltage. Turn the inverter ON and look at the LCD screen for any error code.

Why is there no output voltage and the status LED not lighting up on my Xantrex 806-1212?

  If your Xantrex Inverter has no output voltage and the status LED is not lighting up, it could be due to the ignition lock (ACC) signal not being present. If the ignition control feature is in use, make sure the vehicle’s ignition is On and the ignition control switch on the front of the unit is On (|).
