Operation (continued)
“OPERATION” Indicator Lights
“LINE” Green Indicator: If the operating mode switch is set to “AUTO”, this light will illuminate continuously while connected equipment is receiving continuous AC power from a utility/generator source. If the operating mode switch is set to “CHARGE ONLY”, this light will flash to alert you that the unit's inverter is disabled and will not supply AC power when utility/generator power is unavailable or unsafe for connected equipment.
“INV” (Inverting) Yellow Indicator: This light will illuminate continuously while connected equipment is receiving
“LOAD” Red Indicator: This red light will flash if the power demanded by connected appliances and equipment exceeds load capacity while the Inverter/Charger is operating from battery power. It will also flash due to inverter overheating. If this happens, turn the operating mode switch to “DC OFF”, remove the overload and allow the inverter to cool. After the unit has adequately cooled, you may turn the operating mode switch to either “AUTO” or “CHARGE ONLY”.
“BATTERY” Indicator Lights
These three lights will illuminate in several sequences to show the approximate charge level of your connected battery bank and alert you to fault conditions:

Resetting Your Inverter/Charger to Restore AC Power |
|
| 1 | ||
|
|
| |||
Your Inverter/Charger may cease to supply AC power or DC charging power in order to protect itself from overload or to protect your electrical system. To restore normal functioning:
Overload Reset: Switch the operating mode switch to “DC OFF” and remove some of the connected electrical load (i.e. turn off some of the AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload of the unit). Wait one minute, then switch the operating mode switch to either “AUTO” or “CHARGE ONLY”.
Output Circuit Breaker Reset: Alternatively, check the unit's output circuit breaker. If it has tripped, remove some of the electrical load, wait one minute to allow components to cool, and reset the circuit breaker. See the Troubleshooting section for other reasons why AC output may be absent.
