Troubleshooting

Please check the following before sending the Inverter in for service:

Symptom Problem Correction

Alarm sounds. Low battery voltage (<10.5 V). Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to

recharge vehicle battery.

Output overload. Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by

unplugging high-wattage devices. Load

Vehicle Electrical System Limitations

NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain vehicles’ 12V DC lighter/accessory outlet electrical systems, you may not be able to continuously

run a full load (375 watts) from your PVINT375. If you regularly blow fuses, it may indicate your vehicle is not adequately wired to support

a PVINT375 as it is designed. In this case, consult vehicle manufacturer recommendations for rewiring from the fuse block or battery with

appropriate wiring (8 - 10 gauge) and fusing (at least 40 amp).

Typical Runtimes Before Battery Recharge

Although you can operate your Inverter with your vehicle engine off, best results are usually attained with the engine

running. Since the Inverter converts electrical energy (and doesn’t produce it), the Inverter’s performance is relative to the

condition of your vehicle’s electrical system (battery, alternator and wiring). If other loads (air conditioner, heater, lights,

etc.) are also using power, you may get less runtime.
