TurningYourInverterOn or Off

Be sure to have your power inverter properly installed before attempting to turn the unit on (see installation page 6).

To turn the power inverteron:

1.If a DC power supply is being used as the power source, switch it on.

2.On the left side panel, switch the On/Off Switch to on.

The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If several loads are to be operated by the inverter, turn them on separately, after the inverter has been turned on. This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting currents required for all the loads at once.

To turn the power inverteroff:

1.On the left side panel, switch the On/Off Switch to off.

Operating Limits

Operation

NOTE The On/Off Switch turns the control circuit in the inverter on and off. It does not disconnect power from the inverter.

When the switch is in the off position, the inverter draws no current from the battery. When it’s in the on position, but no power is being supplied to the load, the inverter draws less than 500 milliamperes from the battery. This is low current draw. It would take more than a week to discharge a 100 ampere- hour battery at this rate depending on the age of the battery.

Remote On /Off Switch (not included)

An optional Remote On/Off Switch (not included) can be connected to the Remote Jack allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverteron or off from a convenientlocation when the inverter is installed in an out of reach location.
