The unit will automatically reset after the hot spot has cooled down to 70°C.
Reverse Polarity at the Dc input terminals
The Positive of the battery should be connected to the Positive DC input terminal of
the inverter (9) and the Negative of the battery should be connected to the Negative
DC input terminal of the inverter (8). A reversal of polarity (the Positive of the battery
wrongly connected to the Negative DC input terminal of the inverter and the Negative
of the battery wrongly connected to the Positive DC input terminal of the inverter) will
blow the external / internal DC side fuses. If the DC side fuse is blown, the inverter will
be dead. The GREEN LED marked “PoWER” (2) will be switched off and there will be no
AC output.

Reverse polarity connection is likely to damage the DC input circuitry. The
internal fuse(s) should be replaced with the correct size of fuse shown under
specifications. If the unit does not work after replacing the fuse(s), it has been
permanently damaged and will require repair / replacement (Please read Sec-
tion 11 - “Troubleshooting Guide” for more details).

cAUtion!
Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered by warranty! When making
battery connections on the input side, make sure that the polarity of battery
connections is correct (Connect the Positive of the battery to the Positive termi-
nal of the unit and the Negative of the battery to the Negative terminal of the
unit). If the input is connected in reverse polarity, DC fuse(s) inside the inverter
will blow and may also cause permanent damage to the inverter.
