37 The AC load will not operate. No inverter light s are on. Inverter will run some small loads, but not larger ones. Possible Cause Suggested Remedy Battery is defective. Chec k battery and replace if required. The inverter has been connected with reverse DC input polarity . Check connection to battery . The inverter has likely been damaged and ne[...]

38 Measured inverter out put is too low . Alarm is sounding. Possible Cause Suggested Remedy A standard “average-reading” AC voltmeter has been used to measure output voltage, resulting in an apparent reading 5-15 volts too low . For accura te measurement, the XPower modified sine wave output requires a “true RMS” voltmeter for accurate mea[...]

39 Battery run time is less than expected. The AC load will not o perate. The F AUL T light is on. Possible Cause Suggested Remedy The AC product power consumption is higher than rated. Use a larger batte ry to make up for the increased power requirement. The battery is old or defe ctive. Replace the battery . The battery is not being charged prope[...]

40 The AC product(s) connected are rated at less than the inverte r ’ s continuous power rating; high starting surge has caused overload shutdown. The product exceeds the inverter’ s surge capability . Use a product with a starting sur ge power within the XPower’ s capability . Battery is discharged (alarm is sounding). Recharge battery .
