OPERATION
Inverter Power On and Off
The AC output can be turned on or off by pressing the ON/OFF button on the
display panel. With the remote feature, the inverter can be turned on or off
remotely as well.
GFCI Testing
To test the GFCI, start by plugging a load such as a lamp into the outlet. Press
the TEST button to shut power off to the load. If the load turns off, then this
part of the test is a pass. Next, press the RESET button. If power is restored to
the load, then this test is a pass and verifies the functionality of the GFCI.
Operating the Inverter within the Load Range
Load Type Precautions
•
Resistive Loads –
Be careful with resistive loads that generate heat
(toasters, electric stoves, etc.). Due to the high current drawn by these
loads, a typical battery bank would be drained very quickly. Therefore,
it would impractical to run the inverter with these types of loads for an
extended period of time.
•
Motor Loads –
Use caution with the type of motor that you connect the
inverter. Induction motors require a much higher startup current than their
running current. Since motors vary in their characteristics, it is best to test
the motor load on the inverter. If the motor does not start or loses power,
the inverter should be turned off and the motor removed. If the motor
startup current is too high, the inverter will turn itself off.
NOTE:
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at their own expense. If in a residential setting you are
encountering interference with TV and Radio reception while NOT in inverter
mode, then simply disconnect AC power from the power Inverter to confirm
if this unit is causing the interference, if so explore the following options to
minimize interference:
1.
1.
Make sure your AC connections include a proper ground connection
2.
2.
Reposition your receiving antenna
3.
3.
Purchase a separate AC line filter
4.
4.
Relocate the affected appliance so it is further separated from the power
inverter
