CAUTION: Equalizing may cause DC system voltage to
exceed 16 volts. Be sure to disconnect any equipment not
rated for this voltage. Equalizing causes the battery to release
hydrogen from your battery and may reach explosive concen-
trations in a closed environment. Make sure the battery area
is well ventilated. Do not smoke or operate spark causing
devices in the vicinity of batteries being equalized.
The BATTERY STATE LED’s indicate the approximate state of the bat-
tery bank. It is based on the battery voltage sampled over a period of time
under the present load conditions. The battery state does not represent the actu-
al Amp-hour capacity remaining in the battery.
Lowest State: Voltage is low. Charging is recommended. In charge mode,
indicates charge.
Middle State: Battery is in normal range. In charge mode, indicates accep-
tance.
Highest State: Battery voltage is at its highest and the battery is charged.
In charge mode, indicates float.
NOTE: Depending on battery size and condition, loads con-
nected to the battery may affect the battery voltage and the
BATTERY STATE display. In charge mode BATTERY
STATE LEDs also indicate charger states.
The FAULT LED indicates a possible error has been detected and the
Inverter/Charger has shut down to protect itself and the electrical system. The
source of the error must be corrected before restarting the inverter or charger
functions. However, an OVERTEMP error will reset automatically, and opera-
tion will resume, when the unit has cooled sufficiently.
