Question 1

No output voltage, no LED lights up

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: No contact to the battery or defective fuse (in the inverter or the vehicle). Check contact and cable. Have repairs carried out by a specialist to change the fuse.

Question 2

No output voltage, green and red LED light, power consuming device is switched off

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: The battery voltage is less than 11 V (MSI212/MSI412) or 22 V (MSI224/MSI424), poor contact to the battery, or input voltage too high. Charge the battery (start the engine), clean the contacts, check the input voltage, and reduce the input voltage.

Question 3

No output voltage, green and red LED light, power consuming device is switched on

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Overheating or inadequate cable connection (cross section too small or poor contact). Switch off power consuming devices, let the inverter cool down and ensure better ventilation, make certain that the ventilation slots are not covered, lower the ambient temperature, use a cable with a larger cross section, and check contacts.

Question 4

The device switches on and off repeatedly (up to five times, then the inverter is switched off)

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Excessive load. Switch off the device, reduce the load, and switch on the device.

Question 5

No output voltage, green and red LED light

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Excessive load, short circuit, or electrical wiring error. Switch off the device, reduce the load, remove the short circuit, check electrical wiring, and switch on the device.

Question 6

The inverter switches off when the consumer is switched on, red Status LED lights

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Starting current too high. Compare the device power with the maximum power of the inverter.
