About Link 1000 Settings

Changing the Idle Mode Setting

The Idle mode setting determines the size of AC load that is needed to wake the inverter from its Idle (or standby) mode.

The settings are 0 W, 4 W, 6 W, and 15 W. The default is 4 W.

If you set the Idle mode to 0 W, Idle mode is actually defeated and the inverter stays on all the time. When the inverter is on, it draws approximately 0.5 amps. This setting is useful if you want to ensure uninterrupted power to a very small load like an electric clock.

The other three settings let you conserve battery power because the inverter stays off until an adequate-sized load brings the inverter out of Idle mode.

To change the Idle mode setting:

Note: The INVERT button LED must be on before you can change the Idle mode setting.

1.Press and hold SET until SEL appears.

2.Press the INVERT/IDLE MODE button. The present value appears.

3.Press and hold SET until the display scrolls through the other values.

4.Release SET when the value you want appears.
