USING THE Pi150M
Preliminary: Make sure your 12V socket is in working condition . Plug the 12VDC power plug into your 12v socket to turn on the Pi1 SOM . The LED will illuminate green to confirm the unit is on LED INDICATORS (Green LED = Power On / Red LED = Power Protection Mode) The unit will enter power protection mode in the following conditions
- Low Input Voltage – when the input voltage drops below 10-11VDC.
- High Input Voltage when the input voltage exceeds 15-16VDC.
- Thermal Protection when the internal temperature exceeds 185°F (85°c).
- Overload Protection when a consistent load exceeds 166Wor USB output current exceeds 5 6A.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- When the Pi1 SOM enters power protection mode it will automatically reset once the unit’s conditions return to normal For questions or concerns please contact our Tech Support at 1-800-363-4490 ext. 1

TROUBLESHOOTING
Red power
protection
light is on| 1. Unplug the unit from your 12Vaccessory port Disconnect any
cables from the AC input and/or the USB inputs.
2. Plug the unit back into the 12Vaccessory port. If the red light goes off
reconnect one device at a time. If the light goes back on try to connect
another device instead Important note: Check that the maximum watt rating of
the connected AC device 1s not greater than 1 SOW. If it is, the safety
circuit will be triggered
3. If the red light does not go off when there are no connected devices, try
the inverter in another vehicle
4. If it works in another vehicle there may be a problem with your car’s
battery or charging system Please contact Scosche at 1-800-363-4490 ext. 1 for

No power to the unit| 1. If your vehicle is already in accessory mode or ‘On”
and there is no power to the unit, go to step 2.
2. Connect another device to your car’s 12V input like a USB car charger.
3. If that device works correctly, unscrew the end of the Inverter’s car
socket adapter and check the fuse If it looks burned or damaged replace it
with a 25A automotive fuse. This can be found at an auto parts store.
4. If that device does not work either, you may have a blown car fuse Please
check your car’s user manual for instructions on replacing the fuse.
