6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ETAKER Fleet 1000, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Charger Not Activating: Ensure your vehicle is in motion for the smart start feature to engage. Check all cable connections for looseness or damage. Verify the car battery voltage is within the acceptable range (12-30V).
• No Solar Charging: Ensure solar panels are properly connected and receiving sufficient sunlight. Check solar input voltage (12-48V).
• Low Charging Output: Confirm all connections are secure. Ensure the power station/battery bank is capable of accepting the full 1000W input. Check for any obstructions to the cooling system.
• Overheating: Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation and the fan is not obstructed. Clean any dust or debris from the cooling fins.
• Automatic Shut Down: The unit has built-in protection features (overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, reverse polarity). If it shuts down, check for any faults in the connected system.
