Schumacher PSI-2000 instruction manual Using Gfci Outlet, LeDs and Audio Alarm

F. Using GFCI Outlet

The GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter) must be tested before each use. To test:

1.Turn the inverter ON.

2.Push the "Reset" button located on the GFCI receptacle, first to assure normal GFCI operation.

3.Plug a nightlight (with an "ON/OFF" switch) or other product (such as a lamp) into the GFCI receptacle and turn the product "ON."

4.Push the "Test" button located on the GFCI receptacle. The nightlight or other product should go "OFF."

5.Push the "Reset" button, again. The light or other product should go "ON" again.

Note: If the light or other product remains "ON" when the "Test" button is pushed, the GFCI is not working properly and should not be used. Call Customer Service.

The PSI-2000 includes two, "GFCI" (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) out- lets located on the right side of the inverter. The purpose of a GFCI outlet is to quickly stop the flow of electricity in the event a ground fault occurs on the device plugged into the inverter’s GFCI outlet. Use only a 3-prong grounded plug when using the GFCI outlet.

Note: The GFCI outlet could have been shipped in the “tripped” position. It needs to be “reset” to ensure safe electrical operation. The inverter needs to be ON, connected to a power source and a device plugged into the inverter to reset. To reset: press the “TEST” button (stops flow of electricity to outlet) on the outlet face. Next, press the “RESET” button (restores flow of electricity to outlet) on the outlet face.

G. leDs and Audio Alarm

Green – Power On

Red Light and/or Audio Alarm Current Overload – Red LED glows for a short time and inverter shuts down. Current load too high for inverter. Re- duce current demand.

Voltage Overload – Red LED glows and inverter shuts down. Voltage range of 15.5V ± 0.5V DC too high for inverter. Voltage exceeding 16 volts may dam- age the inverter. Reduce voltage range to 12 volts to 14 volts.

Voltage Shortage – Alarm sounds indicating voltage is getting low (10.5V

±0.3V DC). Inverter shuts down and red light glows when voltage falls be- low 10.0V ± 0.3V DC. Inverter needs

voltage source between 12 volts and 14 volts.

Temperature Overload – Red LED glows for a short time and inverter shuts down. Provide ample ventilation for inverter to restart.

Analogic Output Power Display - shows AC continuous power consumed. Five lights indicate half of the continuous output power and ten lights indicate full continuous power consumption. When the inverter is OFF, no lights appear.

Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Device The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference. Despite
