Troubleshooting4–2 975-0209-01-01Troubleshooting GuideSymptoms Problem RemedyNo power output andno warning LEDsBattery voltage at the inverter’sterminals is too low or not present.Check the battery voltage, fuses or switches andcable connections.No power output andLED indicator isflashing greenLoad is too small for search sense modecircuit to detect.Reduce search threshold setting or defeat searchmode (“Set Idle” on the remote).No power output andRed error LED is onor flashing• Battery voltage is too low or too high• Overcurrent condition• Over-temperature condition• Check the battery voltage at the inverter’sterminals• Remove loads from the inverter and restart• Remove loads and let inverter cool downbefore restartingInverter turns loadson and off• Low battery• Loose or corroded batteryconnections• Loose AC output connections• Search sense threshold is too high• Check condition of batteries and recharge ifpossible• Check and clean all connections• Check all AC output connections• Disable search sense mode or set searchsense mode (“Set Idle”) lower.Inverter clicks every20 secondsThe output of the inverter is wired backto its own input.Check for proper AC input and output wiringCharger isinoperative• The AC input voltage does not matchthe inverter spec.• The RV Series charger circuit breakerhas blown.• Check AC input for proper voltage andfrequency of your model.• Reset breaker, check installation.Batteries apparentlynot being chargedcorrectly• Charge controls are improperly set.• The BTS has adjusted the chargevoltage.• Ensure Battery Capacity, Battery Type, andMax Charge Rate settings are correct.• No remedy if the BTS is installed correctlyand operating.Overload LED “ON”while chargingCharger circuit may be damaged. Have inverter serviced.Low charge rate • Low peak AC input voltage (164 Vpeak required for full charger output).• AC current output of generator is toosmall to handle the load.• Use a larger generator, speed up thegenerator, check AC input wiring size,adjust charge rate, battery cables are toosmall or too long.• Reduce charge amps setting or reduce pass-through loads.Low AC outputvoltageMeasuring with the wrong type ofvoltmeter (displays 80–100 VAC).Voltmeter must be a true RMS reading meter(most are not).Low surge power Weak batteries, battery cables are toosmall or too long.Refer to cable and battery recommendations inowner’s manual.AC Lights flickerwhile chargingGenerator is unstable—charger is losingsynchronizationTurn battery charger rate (“Max Charge Rate”)down until problem is gone.
