Low Volts Adjust LED (5) (green) FLASHING 

To avoid total discharging of your battery the LD600-12 shuts down at a pre-
set low voltage. As all batteries are different, so too is the minimum voltage 
they should be discharged to. The LD600-12 will leave the factory with a 
setting of 

11.0 volts

, change this setting if required. 

Hold the Mode button (7) down until LED (5) is FLASHING, 
(approximately 2 seconds) indicating you are ready to adjust this setting. 
Now press the Mode button (7) until the desired value is sought. LEDs (1) – 
(4) will return to Status after 20 seconds.

Operation 

Five LEDs are provided on the front panel to indicate a number of 
parameters, and allow adjustment of some of these parameters. 
LED (5) tells you what LED (1) – (4) is displaying as indicated on the front 
panel of the LD600-12. Pressing Mode Button (7) will change the 
information being displayed. 

STATUS indicators LED (5) (green) flashing 

When power is first applied LED (1) should flash. 

When LED (5) (green) is OFF, this indicates the LED (1)  – (4) is showing 
the inverters STATUS, as per written notation to the right of the LEDs. In 
this mode there are no adjustments to be made. 

LED (1) Flashing

 indicated  the LD600-12 is in Demand Start mode, this 

indicates that no power is being drawn from the inverter so it has gone to 
SLEEP to save power. If no power is used within 12 minutes, the LED (1) 
will flash at a slower rate therefore saving more power. 

LED (1) Stays ON

, the inverter has been commanded to provide power to 

the load (e.g. a light switch has been turned on) so it has gone from SLEEP 
mode to ON. Once the load has been removed (e.g. the light switch is turned 
off) the inverter will wait 10 seconds and return to SLEEP mode. 

It is good practice to have your LD600-12 in SLEEP mode as often 
as possible. When the LD600-12 is in SLEEP mode it uses 0.06 
amps from the battery, when the inverter is in the ON mode it uses 
at least 0.50 amps from the battery. 

The amount of power required to go from SLEEP to ON is adjustable and is 
described on page 9.
