Switching the FXM from Line mode to Inverter mode
You can also force the FXM to operate in the inverter mode by manu-
ally turning off the input circuit breaker. Doing so will effectively dis-
connect any line power to the FXM, simulating a power outage which
triggers the FXM to swtich to the inverter mode of operation.
Procedure
Turn off the input circuit breaker. The LCD shows

INVERTER
,
the status LED starts flashing to show the FXM is running on
backup battery power. Confirm that the load is receiving power.
Switching the FXM from Inverter mode to Line mode
The FXM remains in inverter mode for as long as the input circuit
breaker is turned off. Backup power is provided to the load until
the batteries are drained to a preset level which triggers the FXM
to shutdown automatically. If it is not necessary to operate the FXM
in inverter mode, you should switch the FXM back to Line mode as
soon as possible.
Procedure
Turn on the input circuit breaker. The FXM qualifies the line

Note
If the FXM constantly switches between Inverter and Line modes due
to a noisy line, the FXM’s input parameters should be broadened
from normal to generator (See “Operating the Novus FXM, Sense
Type.” on page 40. Also See Specifications, “Boost/Buck/Line
Transfer Thresholds” on page 89).
In generator mode, the range of acceptable input frequency and volt-
age is expanded to accept the fluctuations created by a generator.
