The actual load draw through the remote switch
is less than .1 amp. The fuse should not be larger
than the amp capacity of the switch or the hookup
wire. A recommended fuse is a Bussman SFE-4 or
Littlefuse 311-004.
3.07 120 VAC Output
3.07.1 The 120 VAC output of the inverter is
provided through the Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter to the output on the back of the inverter.
The GFCI test and reset is located at the front of
the inverter.
3.07.2 The 120 VAC output is also pre-
sented in of the AC wiring compartment for direct
hardwire. The hot terminal is for the black field
wire. The Neutral terminal is for the white field wire.
The ground terminal is for the green wire. The
Romex strain relief should be used to secure the
field wires.
3.07.3 The remote AC outlets should be
mounted at a convenient location in a listed outlet
box with approved strain relief.
3.08 120 VAC input - Fig. 1 ("T" option)
3.08.1 120 VAC power from the electric utility
or generator can be connected to the inverter by
plugging in the AC line cord if the inverter has the
"T" option. This cord should be plugged into a
grounded receptacle.
3.08.2 When the external 120 VAC is sup-
plied, the internal transfer switch is automatically
activated, the ext. Power LED will light and the
inverter will turn off. The inverter can not be turned
on when the transfer switch is activated.
3.09 Ignition Control Option - FIG. 1
("I" Option)
3.09.1 If not used, no connection is
necessary to the pink wire.
NOTE: Connecting this wire to chassis ground will
cause damage not covered under warranty!
3.09.2 The pink wire should be connected
to the load side of the ignition switch or relay
controlled by the switch. There should be +12VDC
when the ignition switch is "On" and no voltage
when the ignition switch is "Off".
3.09.3 Normally, this option is used when a
inverter powered TV is viewable by the vehicle
driver. The TV is plugged into the "switched outlet"
and the pink wire is connected to the ignition switch
or relay. When the ignition is on, the ignition option
turns the switched outlet off and the driver cannot
watch TV.
4. START UP/OPERATION
4.01 To operate the inverter turn the On/Off
switch to “ON”. Make sure that the output breaker
and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter are reset.
4.02 If installed and used, turn the remote
switch to "On" position. The green LED on the
inverter will light. The inverter On/Off switch and
the remote switch are not interconnected. You
must turn the inverter “Off” from the same switch
that turned the inverter "On".
4.03 The inverter should be turned "Off"
when not in use.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
5.01 Sensata offers free phone consultation
concerning installation or troubleshooting. Call the
Customer Service Department at: 800-553-6418
or 651-653-7000,
Fax: 651-653-7600;
e-mail: [email protected]
5.02 If the inverter fails to operate, use the
following troubleshooting procedure.
5.02.1 Connect a 100 watt light bulb to the
inverter output.
5.02.2 Make sure that the inverter is
turned on, the output circuit breaker is reset and
that the line fuse is good.
5.02.3 Observe the fault indicating light
on the front of the inverter. If the low battery light
is lit, turn inverter “Off” for 5 seconds, then turn
“On” again. If the low battery light turns on again,
check battery wiring, battery state-of-charge and
voltage.
5.02.4 If the inverter feels hot, it may
have shut down by over temperature. The inverter
must be left to cool to 40 C (104 F). Check to
see that the inverter is not in a closed compart-
ment.
5.02.5 If the above steps are completed
and the inverter still will not operate satisfactorily
call Sensata for a return authorization number.
