starts inverting and output goes to full voltage. When there is no load (or less than 25 watts) detected, the
inverter automatically goes back into search mode to minimize energy consumption from the battery bank.
In “Power saver on” mode, the inverter will draw power mainly in sensing moments, thus the idle
consumption is significantly reduced.

Note: The minimum power of load to take inverter out of sleep mode (Power Saver On) is 25 Watts.

When in the search sense mode, the green power LED will blink and the inverter will make a ticking sound.
At full output voltage, the green power LED will light steadily and the inverter will make a steady humming
sound. When the inverter is used as an “Un-interruptible power supply” the search sense mode or “Power
Saver On” function should be defeated.
Exceptions
Some devices when scanned by the load sensor cannot be detected. Small fluorescent lights are the most
common example. (Try altering the plug polarity by turning the plug over.) Some computers and
sophisticated electronics have power supplies that do not present a load until line voltage is available. When
this occurs, each unit waits for the other to begin. To drive these loads either a small companion load must
