INSTALLATION

Testing for backfeed. If a backfeed condition is indicated, disconnect from shore power and disconnect the AC output wires on the inverter. Make sure the inverter is OFF. Apply shore power and measure for

voltage between the black and white wires that were attached to the inverter output feeding the electrical panel or loads, not the inverter output wires. If there is voltage on these wires, a back-feed condition exists and must be corrected or damage will result.

3.Test the battery charger function:

With shore power applied and the

transfer switch engaged, the battery charger should be in operation. The CHARGE LED will blink for 8 seconds. After the 8 seconds, the unit will enter the charge mode and the LED will be illuminated. (NOTE: When using Temperature Sensitive Charging, this time may be longer.)

NOTE: When AC is available, the unit will automatically default to charge mode without the operator setting the unit in CHARGE mode. It is necessary to press the CHARGE switch OFF, if you do not want to charge.

Verify the charger is working by using a volt meter. The battery voltage should gradually increase. If using a Remote Control Panel, the DC Amps LED indicates the current the charger is putting out and the DC Volts LED indicates an increase in battery voltage.

Turn the INVERT ON, the green LED should blink. Remove shore power and the inverter should automatically pick up the AC load when shore power is removed.

NOTE: For low power system shut down mode, both the INVERT and CHARGE LEDs must be OFF.

Repeat the test for transfer and battery charger with the generator if you have one.

Congratulations, you have completed a successful installation.
