Terminals and Ports

Installation

DC TERMINALS: Connect to battery cables and DC system. See page 19 for instructions.

CONTROL WIRING TERMINAL BLOCK: Receives control wires for a variety of functions, including automatic generator starting. See pages 23 and 24 for instructions and the International Series GFX Operator’s Manual for more information.

The Terminal Block can be unplugged from the AC board for convenience. While installed, keep screws tight and the block itself secured tightly to the AC board, to prevent malfunction.

INVERTER ON/OFF: Receives wires for a manual on/off switch to control the inverter. The JP1 jumper alongside disables these terminals when installed (factory default). In this state, the inverter is always ON and can only be controlled by the system display. See page 22 for instructions.

AUX OUTPUT (AUX+/AUX-): Delivers 12 Vdc up to 0.7 amps (8.4 watts). The output can be switched on and off for many functions. The default function is to drive a cooling fan. See page 23 for hookup instructions. See the system display manual for programming instructions.

DC and AC GROUND TERMINALS: Connect to grounding system for both batteries and AC. See page 18 for instructions.

AC TERMINAL BLOCK: Receives AC input and output wires. See page 21 for instructions.

XCT+/XCT- : Non-operational terminals. Do not connect anything to them.

MATE and RTS PORTS: Receive the RJ45 and RJ11 plugs from the system display and Remote Temp Sensor. See page 22 for instructions.

The jacks are mounted sideways. When viewed from the left side, they appear as shown below.

AUX LED INDICATOR: Amber LED turns on when 12 Vdc output is present.

LED INDICATORS: Display the unit status and battery voltage. The Operator’s Manual contains extensive descriptions of the LED functions.

The three BATTERY LEDs (green, yellow, and red) are based on DC voltage, and provide a very general idea of battery state.

The green INVERTER LED tells if the inverting function is on.

The yellow AC IN LED tells if an AC source is present.

The red ERROR LED indicates either a Warning or an Error. A Warning is an alert for a problem that is not severe enough for shutdown. An Error usually accompanies inverter shutdown. See the Operator’s Manual for more information.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

The inverter’s AC output is defaulted to ON from the factory. It will deliver 230 Vac as soon as DC power is connected.
