Power Save Timer
The Power Save Timer is an adjustable countdown timer from 1 to
25 hours (25 hours is the default) that automatically shuts down
inverter operation to reduce battery discharge and preserve battery
life. During continuous inverter operation, the countdown is
initiated when power from the AC load drops to less than
approximately 50 watts and remains below this level. After reaching
the end of the countdown timer the inverter automatically shuts
down.
To change the countdown timer, see “To change the power save
timer setting:” on page 41.
Checking Battery Status
During inverter operation (in battery mode), you can check the
battery status by observing the battery capacity indicator on the
LCD screen. The battery voltage appears in the left side of LCD
screen.
The normal operating battery voltage range is between 11 and
15 volts.
