inverter is enabled (i.e., switch is on) or the unit is charging. Light
sequences are described as follows:
Loads stop operating without
warning after they have been
running.
Shorepower is not connected. Too many appliances have
reduced the battery voltage to
shutdown level.
Ambient temperature is too
high.
Reduce the number of loads.
Allow the inverter to cool and
restart. Recharge the batteries.
Disconnect appliances and let the
unit cool down.
The inverter will not work
even after toggling the switch,
charging the batteries, and
letting the unit cool down. Remote switch may be
disconnected at the unit

firmly connected.
