PROBLEM : 'Overloaded or shorted output' error keeps on appearing
Possible cause :
Inverter is overloaded.
Connected equipment features a bad
power factor
Connected equipment causes a short
circuit at the inverter's output.
PROBLEM : 'Inverter temperature too high. Cooling down' error keeps on
appearing
Possible cause :
Airflow around the inverter is
obstructed.
Too high ambient temperature.
Note: Don't turn-off the inverter when it's operating in an 'Inverter temperature too
high. Cooling down' error. The inverter needs this error time to cool down.
If none of the above remedies helps to solve the problem you encounter, contact your
local Victron Energy distributor for further help and/or possible repair of your inverter.
Do not open the inverter yourself, there are dangerous high voltages present inside.
Opening the inverter will directly void your 12 months warranty period.

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!.
Remedy :
Make sure there is at least 10
centimetres of clearance around the
inverter. Remove any items placed on
or over the inverter. Keep the inverter
away from direct sunlight or heat
producing equipment.
Move the inverter to a cooler place or
provide additional cooling by an
external fan.
