Inverter Operation
This section explains how to operate the inverter efficiently and effectively:
• Gives procedures for operating the inverter from the front panel
• Discusses operating limits and inverter loads
• Discusses battery charging frequency
• Provides information about routine maintenance
Turning the Inverter O
N
and O
FF
The ON/OFF switch on the inverter’s front panel is the main ON/OFF switch
that turns the control circuit in the inverter on and off.
To turn the inverter on and off from its front panel:
• Move the O
N/OFF switch to the On position to turn the inverter on.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the Off position to turn the inverter off.
When the switch is Off, the inverter draws a very low current from the
battery. See important note below.
To turn the inverter on and off from the remote switch:
• Make sure the main O
N/OFF switch on the front panel is turned on.
• Move the remote O
N/OFF switch to the On position to turn the inverter
on.
• Move the remote O
N/OFF switch to the Off position to turn the inverter
off.
When the remote switch is Off, the inverter draws a very low current
from the battery.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
The inverter’s ON/OFF switch does not disconnect DC battery power
from the inverter. You must disconnect AC and DC power before
working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
IMPORTANT:
The inverter draws less than 300 mA from the battery with
the main ON/OFF switch turned on and no load connected. If the main
switch is left on, even with no loads the inverter will eventually discharge
the battery.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the inverter off when you
are not using it
