Operation

Operating Several Loads at Once

If you are going to operate several loads from the inverter, turn them on separately after you have turned the inverter on.

Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and will help prevent an overload shutdown.

Display Screen

 

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.

Battery Voltage

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.

Battery Current

The BATTERY CURRENT INDICATOR displays the current draw from the

Indicator

battery in amps. It will not indicate current draw from other loads

 

connected to the battery.

Output Power

The OUTPUT POWER INDICATOR indicates the AC output power in kW.
