Operation

Turning the Inverter Off Between Charges

The inverter draws less than 600 mA from the battery with the On/Off switch turned on and no load connected, but left in this state the inverter will eventually discharge the battery.

To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the inverter off when you are not using it.

Battery Voltage Indicator

You can monitor important status information on the LED (light emitting diode) display screen.

To select which information the screen displays, press the Display Function button. The VOLTAGE, CURRENT and AC POWER lights indicate what information the screen is showing.

The BATTERY VOLTAGE INDICATOR indicates the DC voltage at the input terminals of the inverter. At low input currents, this voltage is very close to the battery voltage. At high input currents, this voltage is lower than the battery voltage because of the voltage drop across the cable and DC connections.
