Operation
24 975-0328-01-01
Overload Protection
In the event of an overload (> 400 W) or overheating, the
Powerpack Solar 400 automatically sounds an alarm,
displays an error code, and shuts down.
When this happens, remove the load immediately. The unit
resets automatically after a few seconds.
High Surge Appliances
The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power
used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions,
computer monitors and appliances with motors consume
much more power than their average rating when they are
first switched on.
Although Powerpack Solar 400 can supply momentary surge
power up to 600 W, some appliances may exceed the
capabilities of the Powerpack Solar 400 and trigger the
inverter’s safety overload shutdown circuit.
Trouble Appliances
Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be
damaged if they are connected to the inverter:
• Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals
on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
Important: Do not use sump pumps, coffee makers, hair
dryers, flat irons, or electric grills with the
Powerpack Solar 400.
CAUTION
The output of the Powerpack Solar 400 inverter is
non-sinusoidal. Some equipment may be damaged by the
inverter’s modified sine wave (non-sinusoidal) output.
