Why is my power inverter not working?

Problem:

No AC output power

Possible Causes:

1. Poor contact with the DC power outlet.

2. The vehicle’s electrical system requires ignition to be on.

3. The vehicle’s DC power outlet fuse is blown.

4. Over-heating of the power inverter.

5. The vehicle’s battery voltage is below 11 volts.

6. The vehicle’s battery input voltage is greater than 15 volts.

7. You overloaded your power inverter.

Suggested Solutions:

1. Poor contact with the DC power outlet.

• Ensure the power inverter is securely plugged into your vehicle’s DC power outlet. If not, replace the DC power outlet if necessary.

• Check the vehicle fuse panel and replace the damaged fuse.

4. Over-heating of the power inverter.

• Allow inverter to cool. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the unit and load does not exceed the unit’s Continuous Power rating (see specifications).

5. The vehicle’s battery voltage is below 11 volts.

• First, unplug the power inverter.
• Second, start the vehicle to charge the battery.

6. The vehicle’s battery input voltage is greater than 15 volts.
