7.
Route the cable to the inverter and insert the connection into the jack located near the
battery select dip switch.
IMPORTANT:
The communications cable should not be in parallel or in the same conduit as
the AC and/or DC wires. If required, only cross the wires at 90° angles of each other.
STEP 8: Test Installation
WARNING
: Shock hazard –
AC power from a utility/grid will still pass through
the inverter to the AC output even with the inverter turned OFF. Turning the
inverter OFF with the button will not disconnect DC or AC input power, this must
be done manually.
Prior to use:
1.
Verify the inverter is inverting DC battery power AND delivering AC power to the outputs.
2.
For installations where AC input and output are hardwired to the inverter, verify the
inverter transfers from inverter power to utility/grid power when the utility/grid power is
present.
Prior to system testing, close the DC fuse and disconnect or the DC circuit
breaker to start supplying the inverter with DC power.
Testing in INVERT MODE –
1.
If hardwired, ensure utility/grid power is not present.
2.
Press the “
Inverter
” button
≈
ISEC to turn the inverter on. The status LED on the panel
will glow yellow and the display screen will illuminate.
3.
Using an appliance within the inverter’s range, plug it into the GFCI on the front of the
inverter, or plug it into an AC outlet hardwired to the inverter.
4.
Turn ON the appliance and verify it functions properly.
If the appliance functions as expected, the installation is a success! If it
was a hardwire installation, continue reading.
Testing in UTILITY/GRID MODE –
1.
Using the same appliance from the previous test (must be within power range of inverter),
plug it into the GFCI of the inverter.
2.
Connect the utility/grid power source.
The inverter will transfer the appliance to utility/grid power. The status LED
on the panel will change from
yellow
to a ten-second flashing
yellow
for
≈
20 Sec and then
green
. If the appliance then functions as expected, the
installation is a success!
