Operation

CAUTION!
When the inverter is switched OFF using the optional external Remote
!
Control RC-300, there will be a very minor current drain of up to 3mA
for the 12V version of the inverter and up to 5mA for the 24V version of
the inverter. There will be NO drain from the battery when the inverter is
switched OFF as follows:
a) When NOT using external 1-Wire or 2-Wire ON/OFF Control: By
switching OFF the 3-Position Rocker Switch (1, fig 6.1a) to center position
marked “ON” / “OFF”
b) When using external 1-Wire or 2-Wire ON/OFF Control: By Switching OFF
the inverter by (i) opening the switch or the relay contact in 2-Wire ON/
OFF Control (fig 8.2a) or (ii) opening the switch or relay contact in 2-Wire
ON/OFF Control using switched DC voltage (fig 8.2b) or (iii) opening
the switch or relay contact in 1-Wire ON/OFF Control using switched DC
voltage from the battery supplying the inverter.

Protections
10. PROTECTIONS
The inverter has been provided with protections detailed below:
10.1 POWER SURGE / OVERLOAD / SHORT CIRCUIT SHUT DOWN
INFO
Please refer to definitions of Active Power (Watts), Apparent Power (VA)
i
and Power Factor (PF) at Section 2.1. In the explanation below, the values
of Power are expressed in Apparent Power in VA. Corresponding Active
Power (Watts, W) will depend upon the type of load (Resistive or Reactive)
and its Power Factor (Power Factor may range from 1 to 0.5). Please note
the following:
• Active Power (Watts) = Apparent Power (VA) x Power Factor (PF).
• For resistive type of loads, the Power Factor = 1 and hence, Apparent
Power (VA) = Active Power (Watts, W).
• For reactive types of loads, the Power Factor will be < 1 (up to 0.5)
and hence, the Active Power (Watts, W) will be less than the Apparent
Power (VA).
