FAQs

What type of battery is required?

The inverter requires a 12V DC battery, typically a leisure or automotive battery.

Can I use the inverter while the battery is charging?

Yes, but ensure the battery charger and the inverter's combined load do not exceed the battery's capacity.

What is the function of the ECO mode?

ECO mode reduces power consumption by putting the inverter in standby when the load is low. It periodically checks for increased load to save power.

What devices can I power with this inverter?

You can power most household devices that require 230V AC, such as lights, small appliances, and electronics, within the inverter's power rating.

What is the VE.Direct port for?

The VE.Direct port is used for monitoring and configuring the inverter using a computer, smartphone, or tablet.

What should I do if the inverter is overloaded?

Reduce the load connected to the inverter. If the overload persists, consider a larger inverter.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on the product label on the unit.

Is a power lead included?

No, a power lead is not included and must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Inverter not turning on.

Check the battery connection, ensure the battery is charged, and verify the remote on/off switch is not in the off position.

Low output voltage.

Check the input voltage from the battery. The battery might be low, or the connections may be loose.

Inverter shuts down frequently.

The load may be exceeding the inverter's capacity. Reduce the load or check for short circuits.

ECO mode not working.

Ensure the load is above the minimum threshold (15W) and that ECO mode is enabled in the settings.

VE.Direct port not connecting.

Ensure the correct cable or dongle is used and that the device is compatible with the inverter.
