Turning Your Inverter On or Off
•
Be sure to have your power inverter properly installed
before attempting to turn the unit on (see installation
page 6).
To turn the power inverter on:
1. If a DC power supply is being used as the power
source, switch it on.
2. On the Output End, press the Power Button to 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.
NOTE The Power Button turns the control circuit
in the inverter on and off. It does not disconnect
power from the inverter.
When the button is in the off position, the inverter
draws no current from the battery. When it’s in the
on position, but no power is being supplied to a
load, the inverter draws less than 600 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
•
An optional Remote On/Off Switch (see page 24 to order
accessories) can be connected to the Remote Jack
allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverter on or off
from a convenient location when the inverter is installed
in an out of reach location.
