13. LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The Green LED lights automatically when
then converter is plugged into a 12 volt DC
power source and is turned on. The Red
LED lights, the alarm sounds and the con-
verter automatically turns itself off under
the following conditions:
1.
When the power input from the vehi-
cle’s battery drops to approximately
10.5 volts, the low voltage alarm will
sound. When the voltage goes down
below 10 VDC, the converter shuts off.
Recharge or replace the battery.
2.
When the power input from the vehicle’s
battery exceeds 16 volts, high voltage
overload protection occurs.
3.
The continuous load demand from the
equipment or device being operated
exceeds the continuous load rating of
the converter. Use a higher capacity
converter or lower rated device.
4.
The thermal resistor exceeds 80° C
(176° F.) Allow the converter to cool.
Do not block the cooling slots or air
flow over and through the converter.
Reduce the load on the converter to
the continuous rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs,
switch the converter’s ON/OFF switch to
the OFF (O) position. Check the source
of the problem and correct. Switch the
converter’s ON/OFF switch to the ON (I)
position.
14. IF THE CONVERTER’S FUSE BLOWS
Your power converter is fitted with fuses,
which should not have to be replaced
under normal operating conditions. A
blown fuse is usually caused by reverse
polarity or a short circuit within the device
or equipment being operated.
If a fuse does blow, take the converter to
a qualified technician for repair.
15. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
• Before each use, ensure that all of the
converter’s components are in place
and in good working condition.
• After use and before performing main-
tenance, unplug and disconnect the
converter.
• Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe external
surfaces of the converter’s case.
• Servicing does not require opening the
unit, as there are no user-serviceable
parts. All servicing should be per-
formed by qualified service personnel.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place, out of
the reach of children.
• Recycle or properly dispose of internal
electrical components.
