Inverter Mode Messages

When the inverter is on (no AC present), it is either inverting or searching the AC output circuits for a load meeting the specifications set up in the Set Idle menu selection (see Figure 3-3 on page 13), if the search sense mode is selected. When the inverter is in the search sense mode, “Searching” appears in the screen and the Inverter LED will slowly flash.
