PROBLEM : 'Battery voltage too low or too high' error keeps on
appearing
Possible cause :
Poor battery condition.
Poor connection or inadequate
wiring between battery and
inverter, resulting in too much
voltage drop.
General failure in your electrical
system (in case of no direct
battery connection).
PROBLEM : 'Overloaded or shorted output' error keeps on
appearing
Possible cause :
Inverter is overloaded.
Connected equipment features a
bad power factor (cosϕ at
sinusoidal currents).
Connected equipment causes a
short circuit at the inverter's
output.

Remedy :
Replace battery or charge it first.
When extending the battery wires
of the inverter make sure you use
the correct wire gauge (≥ 1.5 times
larger than the fixed battery wires).
It's not advisable to extend the
battery wires to more than 3
meters.
Check your electrical system or
consult an electrical engineer to
check it for you.
Remedy :
Make sure that the total power
rating of the connected equipment
is lower than the nominal inverter
power rating.
Reduce the required power
consumption of the load. Please
note that, for example, a computer
load features a bad power factor,
which causes a reduction of the
maximum output power of the
inverter by approx. 20%.
Make sure that the connected
equipment is not broken or
malfunctioning. Check if the AC
power cord between the inverter
and the connected equipment is
OK. Any physical damage on the
power cord can produce a short
circuit. Be careful!.
