WHAT CAUSES FAULT MODE AND HOW TO FIX IT OF THE IVR1200LBKS

1) Overload or short - reduce the load to 720W or less
2) coil/inductive/motor loads - not recommended for motors and inductive loads
3) Battery fault or flat - use a good quality deep-cycle 12V 100Ah / 12V 200Ah battery
4) If the battery was connected in reverse, there will be no power to the unit - the fuses have blown. Take to the agent to replace fuses under warranty. Out of warranty: Replace the 4x blade fuses inside the unit.
