    Just ran into an issue where my MultiPlus-II has turned itself off and the ‘temperature’ LED stays lit. I’m guessing it overheated. How do I safely handle this?

    The steady ‘temperature’ LED on your MultiPlus-II 230V is indeed telling you that the unit has overheated and shut itself down for safety.

    Here’s how you can handle this:

    • Turn the unit off and unplug it from any power source. It’s important to let it cool down completely.

    • Check the environment where your inverter is installed. It should be out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources, and in a well-ventilated area.

    • Inspect the inverter’s fans and vents. Are they working properly? Are they blocked or clogged with dust? Cleaning them out or repairing any non-functional fans is crucial.

    • After ensuring the inverter is cool and the area is well-ventilated, you can restart the inverter. Watch closely to see if the temperature climbs again.

    • If the inverter continues to overheat, consider the load you’re placing on it. Are you perhaps demanding too much from it? Try reducing the load and see if that helps manage the temperature.

    • Regularly check the internal temperature against the specifications in your manual. It might provide additional guidance on safe operating temperatures.

    If these steps don’t solve the problem, it’s a good idea to contact a professional or the manufacturer’s support team for assistance. Continuous overheating can be symptomatic of deeper issues that might require repair or replacement of parts.
