Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the inverter, turn them on
separately after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have
to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and will help
prevent an overload shutdown.
Display Screen
You can monitor important status information on the LED (light emitting
diode) display screen.
To select which information the screen displays, press the Display
Function button. The
VOLTAGE, CURRENT and AC POWER lights indicate
what information the screen is showing.
Battery Voltage
Indicator
The
BATTERY VOLTAGE INDICATOR indicates the DC voltage at the input
terminals of the inverter. At low input currents, this voltage is very close
to the battery voltage. At high input currents, this voltage is lower than the
battery voltage because of the voltage drop across the cable and DC
connections.
Battery Current
Indicator
The
BATTERY CURRENT INDICATOR displays the current draw from the
battery in amps. It will not indicate current draw from other loads
connected to the battery.
Output Power
Indicator
The
OUTPUT POWER INDICATOR indicates the AC output power in kW.
