Inverter Question

Asking for a neighbor. He has a 2015 XLR Thunderbolt AMP 385 and is boondocking on his property. Residential fridge works on generator but not off the inverter. It worked last time he was here. The only thing he did different was to remove the batteries to charge them and re-install prior to the trip. I doubt it's a polarity issue or the fuses in the converter would have blown.

I think the model is either a CSW1012 or CSW2012 and is white. It has a CSW-TS15 Magnum transfer switch. Where it is mounted the display is hard to read but shows battery voltage without the generator running at 13.4 to 13.5. The other display which I assume is the output shows zeros. The external switch works fine as you can hear it beep one time when it powers up.

Since the fridge works fine off the generator I would imagine there is a reset someplace but not sure where it would be located. I know on some of the WFCO inverters they say to disconnect the DC white wire for 5 minutes with the power off the inverter then hook it bakc up and turn the power on to clear it.

Any help would be appreciated as he will be boondocking for a week working on his property. Attached is a photo of inverter that I got off the internet.

I agree. Just found the owners manual. Waiting for him to come back. I will let you know if that solves the problem. Thanks !!!

That solved the problem. Apparently when he installed the batteries the DC load must have tripped the GFCI or it could have been a bumpy road. All is well and he will be happy the rest of his stay.
