Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting
Table 7 is organized in order of common symptoms, with a series of possible causes. Each cause also
shows possible troubleshooting remedies, including system display checks where appropriate.
These instructions are for use by qualified personnel who meet all local and governmental code
requirements for licensing and training for the installation of electrical power systems with AC and DC
voltage up to 600 volts.

WARNING: Shock Hazard
During an error shutdown, the inverter’s output terminals are not live. However,
if the inverter recovers from a shutdown, the terminals will become live without
notice. Several error shutdowns can be recovered automatically, including
Low
Battery V
,
High Battery V
, and
Over Temperature
. See page 58.
Table 7 Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Possible Remedy
No AC output
(will not invert).
No DC voltage.
Use a DC voltmeter to check the voltage directly on the DC
terminals. If not present, the problem is external. If present, the
inverter could be damaged. Contact OutBack Technical Support.
