System Start-up Check
WARNING
Review the “Important Safety Instructions” on page vii before operating the inverter/charger.
To test the charging and inverting functions from the RS2000 front panel:
1.Disconnect AC power from inverter input by opening the breaker or disconnect. Press the Inverter Enable button on the RS2000. The Inverter On light illuminates.
2.Place a load on the inverter. For example, plug a 100 watt light bulb into an outlet that the inverter is powering and make sure it works. The inverter should run the load using battery power.
3.To test the charger, reconnect the AC input power to allow AC to the AC input. The Charger On light should illuminate after a brief delay. Any AC loads previously powered by the inverter will also work at this time.
4.Remove the AC input power. The inverter/charger should transfer to invert mode immediately. (The transfer relay will make a clicking sound and the Inverter On light will illuminate.) Loads should continue to operate uninterrupted.
To test the transfer switch:
1.Press the Inverter Enable button on the unit to disable. The Inverter On light is not illuminated.
2.Apply qualified AC power to the RS2000 input. After a brief delay, the External AC light should illuminate and AC loads on the output should operate.
If any part of this procedure fails, determine the cause before using the inverter/charger. Consult the “Troubleshooting” chapter starting on page
