If your Energy Center fails to operate as specified, follow these troubleshooting steps to correct the issue. If
you still experience issues, please contact a Product Specialist at Aervoe Industries, Inc. at 800-227-0196

Problem: AC charging not working

Confirm the 120V AC POWER CORD is fitted securely in the input port of the Energy Center and
electrical wall outlet; and that the GFI or circuit breakers have not been tripped

Make sure the MAIN POWER SWITCH is in the ON position prior to charging and that the
CHARGING LED is illuminated under the AC STATUS MONITOR

Verify the 10A AC protection fuse is not broken or missing (located above the 120V charging
input). Replace with a new fuse if necessary as specified in this manual.

If the problem has not cleared up, call Aervoe for further assistance.

Problem: Solar or wind turbine charging not working

Make sure the MAIN POWER SWITCH AND DC SWITCH ARE in the ON position prior to charging
and that the WIND & SOLAR CONTROLLER display is functioning.

Confirm that the connection cords between the solar panel or turbine and the Energy Center are
installed correctly.

If using a solar panel, position it in direct sunlight. The panel will need to be repositioned
throughout the day to keep it in direct sunlight. Refer to your solar panel instructions.

If using a wind turbine, make sure it is placed in an area that receives adequate wind speed.
Refer to your turbine instructions for wind speed information.

Check the BATTERY STATUS . If it is flashing then an overvoltage or other fault has occurred.
Reset the system by disconnecting all power inputs and turning the Energy Center off and on
again. Reconnect the solar or wind turbine. If the problem has not cleared up, call Aervoe for
further assistance.

CAUTION

USER SERVICEABILITY IS LIMITED TO BATTERY AND FUSE REPLACEMENT.
