PS Series Inverters
When the RC8 is used with PS Series inverters, its red LED
will display the following.
•
Solid
With AC line power present, the unit is charging the
batteries while directing AC to the load. With no AC line
power present, the inverter is running on the batteries and
supplying AC to the load.
•
Blinking Slow (1 to 2 flashes @ 1 second intervals)
The inverter is in search mode (no load connected).
•
Flickering*
The inverter has detected an overcurrent error. The LED
(and inverter) will turn OFF whenever an overcurrent
condition exceeds eight seconds.
•
OFF*
The inverter is OFF or an error condition caused by
overheating, low battery voltage, or high battery voltage
has occurred.
Important:
If the LED does not come back on after pressing
the ON/OFF switch on the RC8, the error condition may not have
cleared. Check the inverter’s error indicator and consult the
operator’s manual for recommendations.
