To Test the GFCI Outlet:
1. Turn the inverter On (see page 15 for details).
2. Plug a test lamp into the outlet.
3. On the GFCI Outlet, press the Test Button.
The Reset Button should pop out and power to the lamp should turn Off.
If the lamp remains On, or if the Reset Button does not pop out, the unit is
defective. Return the inverter to the place of purchase for replacement or service.
4. On the GFCI Outlet, push the Reset Button to return to regular operation.

NOTE The On/Off Switch turns the control circuit in the inverter On and Off.
It does not disconnect power from the inverter.
When the switch is in the Off position, the inverter draws no current
from battery. When it’s in the On position, but no power is being supplied
to the load, the inverter draws less than 500 milliamperes from the battery.
This is low current draw. It would take more than a week to discharge a
100 ampere-hour battery at this rate depending on the age of the battery.
Remote On/Off Switch
•
A Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack allowing you to turn
the inverter On or Off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed in an
out-of-reach location. Be sure to have your power inverter and Remote On/Off Switch
properly installed before attempting to turn the unit On (see “Installation” page 6).
To Turn the Power Inverter On or Off:
1. On the left side panel of the inverter, switch the
On/Off Switch to On.
2. Press the Remote On/Off Switch button to toggle
On or Off. The remote On/Off Switch power indication
light will remain lit when power is On.
The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads.
If several loads are to be operated by the inverter, turn them
On separately, after the inverter has been turned On. This will
ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting
currents required for all the loads at once.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlet
•
The AC outlet on your CobraMarine
™
Power Inverter is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). This protects you against hazardous electrical shock that could be caused by
dampness, faulty mechanism, worn cables, water spray, etc.
Test the GFCI periodically to make sure it is operating properly.
