However, the user should try to augmentany stationary inverter charging system with either wind power or solarpower. These can continue to operate during power outages and they alsoreduce recharge time. For mobile or marine charging systems, a higher ratedalternator may be necessary to charge a battery bank.Regular Loss of Commercial PowerIf the inverter system is used during commercial power outages that occurdaily, configure the charger system to replace energy during the time thatcommercial power is available.Replacement of battery energy always requires more than was taken fromthe battery (typically 30 percent more). Follow battery manufacturer’srecommendations for maximum charging current.Warning:There is danger of explosion . do noT connecT or disconnecTcharger cables direcTly afTer baTTery discharge or recharge – makesure ThaT The baTTery bank area is Well venTed before aTTaching orremoving cables .If the flooded lead acid batteries are used, be sure that periodic checks ofbattery electrolyte levels are accomplished. Follow battery manufacturer’sinstructions in keeping the electrolytes at the proper level. Be sure to use puredistilled water when replacing evaporated electrolyte liquid.Operating Issues(Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.)Although all inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference,some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especiallywith weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improvereception.• Make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal undernormal operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard110/115V AC wall outlet). Also ensure that the antenna cable is properlyshielded and of good quality.• Sometimes vehicle alternators produce some electrical noise. There arefilters available to mount on the alternator to reduce noise.• Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and televisionpower cord.• Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12volt power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to thetelevision set.TroubleshootingPROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage – Fault LED LitReason SolutionPoor contact with battery or inverterterminals.Clean terminals thoroughly. Reinstalland tighten.PROBLEM: Inverter is Shut Down – Fault LED LitReason SolutionBattery voltage below 10 Volts Charge or replace battery.Inverter is too hot (thermal shut downmode).• Allow inverter to cool.• Check for adequate ventilation.• Reduce the load on the inverter torated continuous power output.Unit may be defective.
