Protection Features and LED Display Indicators
The inverter is equipped with multiple safety protections, indicated on the LED display:
| Indicator | Description | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| LO (Low Voltage) | Input voltage is too low (below 21V DC). The inverter will shut down to protect the battery. | Recharge or replace the 24V battery. |
| HI (Over Voltage) | Input voltage is too high (above 30V DC). The inverter will shut down to prevent damage. | Check battery charging system. Ensure input voltage is within 21V-30V DC. |
| OL (Overload) | Connected AC load exceeds the inverter's rated power (3000W continuous, 6000W peak). The inverter will shut down. | Reduce the connected load. Restart the inverter. |
| OH (Over Heat) | Internal temperature of the inverter is too high. The inverter will shut down. | Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure adequate ventilation. Clear any obstructions from cooling fans. |
| Short Circuit | A short circuit is detected on the AC output. The inverter will shut down. | Disconnect all AC loads. Check wiring for shorts. Restart the inverter. |
| Polarity Reverse | Incorrect connection of battery terminals (reversed polarity). Protected by internal fuses. | Correct battery cable connections. Check fuses if inverter does not power on. |
