4.AC Power Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) — A 3-prong outlet for 120 volt AC appliances which shuts down inverter if leakage or ground fault current is detected.

5.Internal protective circuits including:

•Overload and over-temperature shutdown (activated if AC output exceeds 250 watts)

•AC short-circuit shutdown

•Low voltage shutdown

•A new cooling technology that more efficiently cools the power transistors and, combined with soft start, dramatically increases reliability and product life

AC Power Supply Controls and Indicators

The Inverter ON/OFF Switch turns the AC power circuitry on and off. The ON/OFF switch can also be used to reset the AC power after shutdown due to overvoltage, overload or over-temperature condition. The AC outlet (covered when not in use) supplies power to AC appliances.

AC Power Supply Operation

1.Turn power switch to ON (the power indicator lights).

2.Plug in appliance and turn the appliance on.

Note: The AC power supply shuts down automatically when the battery voltage level is too low. If the LED flashes, a faulty condition such as an overload, overheating or short circuiting has occurred. Turn the AC Power Supply off and unplug the appliance. Wait a few minutes, then turn power back on.

USING THE EMERGENCY AREA LIGHT

The Area Light is controlled by the ON/OFF slide switch directly above it on the front panel. Make sure the light is turned OFF when the unit is being recharged or stored.
