Operation
9.1 SWITCHING THE INVERTER ON/OFF
Before switching on the inverter, check that all the AC loads have been switched off.
3-Position Rocker Switch marked ON/OFF/EXT (1, Fig 6.1) is used to switch ON / switch
OFF the unit locally and also to enable switching on/off by external switching control.
Switching options are as follows:
ON
–
Push top end to switch ON locally
OFF
–
Centered to switch OFF locally
EXT Switch
–
Push bottom end to enable switching ON and OFF by external
1-wire / 2-wire switching control (Refer to Section 8.9)
This switch operates a low power control circuitry, which in turn controls all the high
power circuitry.
Optional Remote Control Model RC-15A (Section 8.8) and 1-wire / 2-wire remote ON/
OFF control (explained at Section 8.9) may also be used to switch ON and switch OFF the
inverter.
!
CAUTION!
Please note that the ON/OFF Switch is not switching the high power battery
input circuit. Parts of the DC side circuit will still be alive even when the switch
is in the OFF position. Hence, disconnect the DC and AC sides before working
on any circuits connected to the inverter.
!
ATTENTION!
Veuillez noter que l'interrupteur ON/OFF ne gère pas le circuit d'entrée de bat-
terie à haute puissance. Certaines parties du circuit de côté CC seraient encores
actives même si l'onduleur a été fermé. Alors, il faut déconnecter tous les côtés
CC et CA avant de travailler sur n'importe quel circuit connecté à l'onduleur.
When the inverter is switched ON, the GREEN "POWER ON" LED (2, Fig. 6.1) will be
lighted. This LED indicates that the input section of the inverter is operating normally.
Under normal operating conditions, AC output voltage will now be available at the
GFCI Duplex Receptacle (5, Fig 6.1). The Status LED on the GFCI (5C in Fig 6.1) will be
lighted Green.
Switch on the AC load(s). The GREEN "POWER ON" LED (2, Fig 6.1) and the Green Status
LED on the GFCI (5C in Fig 6.1) should remain lighted for normal operation of the load.
9.2 POWERING ON THE LOADS
After the inverter is switched on, it takes a finite time to become ready to deliver full
power. Hence, always switch on the load(s) after a few seconds of switching on the
