Use the inverter when shore power is not available and the generator is
not going to be used as the secondary AC power source option. To turn the
inverter on or off, momentarily depress the inverter
ON/OFF
button on the
RC7GS remote. This will supply silent AC power to most receptacles, the
television and microwave. It is important to remember that use of the
inverter will greatly increase house battery power consumption. Turn off
the inverter when not in use to conserve house battery power.
The inverter is programmable with many features. The RC7GS remote
control is used to change or add features and set variable parameters.
Inverter remote may also be used to start and stop the generator.
Some of the features available are:
• Automatic generator start.
• Fully adjustable battery charge rates.
• Adjustable fuel gauge cut-out.
• Adjustable charging curves for different battery types.
• Adjustable power sharing.
• Meters Menu.
The remote control liquid crystal display (LCD) and light emitting diode
(LED) lights are used for operation status conditions. The LED lights give
inverter status, charge status, battery condition and error indications at a glance.
The LCD screen displays charging cycle status, various meter readings, auto-
matic generator operation status, programming field and error messages. The
inverter
ON/OFF button turns the inverter on or off. This button can be used to
start or stop the generator. The up or down arrows are used to scroll up or down
through the operations field or meters field. The up arrow is used to toggle
between operations and meter fields. Pressing the up and down arrows simulta-
neously accesses the programming field. The settings button is used to set or
scroll through a particular programming field.
NOTE: The main switch on the inverter is to remain ON.
The inverter can be set-up for stand-by power operation. If for AC input is
discontinued to the motorhome the inverter will automatically provide AC
power. When AC power is resumed the inverter will automatically return to
“stand-by” mode. The stand-by mode is activated by momentarily pressing the
“on/off” inverter remote button while the motorhome is plugged into shore
power or operating from the generator. Stand-by mode is indicated by the
inverter status light blinking. Battery charging is not affected by stand-by oper-
ation.
NOTE: Remember to disable stand-by operation when not in use.
House battery power may be accidently consumed.
It may run down the house batteries.
