5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected, the stabilizer operates automatically. The bi-colour LED indicator provides status information:
- Green LED: Indicates normal operation and safe voltage output.
- Red LED: Indicates high/low voltage cut-off or thermal overload protection activated.
- No LED: Indicates no input power or the unit is switched off.
The initial time delay of 8 seconds will activate upon power-on or after a power restoration, allowing the TV's compressor to stabilize before receiving full power.
6. Safety Information
- Do not open the stabilizer casing. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Ensure the stabilizer is installed in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid exposing the unit to water or excessive moisture.
- Do not overload the stabilizer beyond its specified 1.3 Ampere capacity.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- In case of smoke, unusual smells, or abnormal operation, immediately disconnect power and contact customer support.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stabilizer not turning on / No LED indication | No input power; Power switch off; Blown fuse. | Check main power supply; Ensure power switch is ON; Check and replace fuse if necessary (refer to manual for fuse type). |
| Red LED is ON, no output power | Input voltage is too high or too low; Thermal overload activated. | Wait for voltage to return to normal range; Allow unit to cool down if thermal overload is suspected. |
| Output power fluctuates | Unstable input power; Overload. | Ensure input power is stable; Reduce connected load if exceeding 1.3 Ampere capacity. |
| Connected device not working | Device fault; Incorrect connection. | Check device's own power supply and functionality; Verify all connections are secure. |
