Inverter (if so equipped)
A factory installed inverter converts 12-volts DC to useable 120-volts AC and supplies con-
tinuous AC power to the appliance plugged into it. It is important that you familiarize your-
self with the inverter function and operation. The inverter should be “off” when not in use.
The factory installed inverter is not intended for use, nor should be used, with any
medical device(s). The inverter may, however, be used with some CPAP machines, de-
pending on the CPAP model. Consult your CPAP machine’s instruction manual before
use to ensure proper operation.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a residential style refrigerator, the inverter may
be used to supply the 120-volts AC necessary to power the refrigerator.
Maintenance
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the inverter
case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the
case has been removed
. The inverter cooling fins and the
cooling fan should be kept clear of any obstructions.
Your RV may have an inverter remote display (appearance
may vary) on the Command Center switch panel. There
are power and select buttons, Status/Display indicators and
a single line digital alpha- numeric display. The display
can show measured battery voltage, AC output power, in-
verter settings and error codes.
POWER
button is used to turn the inverter on and off. To turn on the inverter and the LED
display press and hold
POWER
for 1 second until you hear a beep.
The
STATUS and DISPLAY
indicators indicate the inverter status:
•
STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both GREEN - Unit is plugged into shore power.
The panel is in
Bypass Mode
and will display battery voltage in DC volts.
•
STATUS LED AMBER, DISPLAY LED GREEN -
Inverter Mode
is active. In-
verter is ON and will display battery voltage in DC volts. (Not connected to shore
power)
•
STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both AMBER -
Inverter Mode
is active. Inverter
is ON, pressing the SELECT button will display inverter power output. Display
shows power output in KW.
•
STATUS LED FLASHES AMBER, DISPLAY LED IS OFF - If the unit is in
In-
verter Mode
, and you plug in shore power, the STATUS LED will begin flashing
AMBER and the unit will switch to
Bypass Mode
within 20 seconds of detecting
an AC input.
•
If the STATUS LED is RED and DISPLAY LED is OFF, the display will show an
error code of E01 through E12. This indicates a fault in the inverter circuit that
needs attention. Inverter will shut down.
NOTE:
When in
Inverter Mode
you will be able to cycle through
Battery Voltage, Inverter Power, inverter settings and error codes.
When in
Bypass Mode
you will be able to cycle through Battery
Voltage, inverter settings and error codes. Inverter Power will not be
available because the inverter is idle.
