Turning the Unit On and Off
Turn On:
Before turning the unit on for the first time, determine what output voltage you need. If
needed, change the unit’s output voltage parameter (Section 3.4) before turning on
the load.
1
Press down the ON/OFF button until
“Ready On” appears on the LCD. The fan
turns on.
The LCD shows “Ready On” while it con-
ducts a self test. The ON LED turns on. If
line power is sent to the loads, the ON-
LINE LED turns on. If battery power is sent
to the loads, the ON-BATT LED turns on.
TIPS:
1) A brand new unit needs to charge the
batteries before the maximum run time is
reached. This takes about 24 hours after
the unit is turned on.
2) If you are changing the unit’s param-
eters (Section 3.4), change them before
turning on the loads.
