Turning Your Inverter On or Off
•
Be sure to have your power inverter properly installed
before attempting to turn the unit
on
(see installation
page 6).
To turn the power inverter on:
1.
If a DC power supply is being used as the power
source, switch it
on
.
2.
On the
Output End
, press the
Power Button
to
on
.
The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads.
If several loads are to be operated by the inverter, turn
them
on
separately, after the inverter has been turned
on
.
This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver
the starting currents required for all the loads at once.
NOTE
The
Power Button
turns the control circuit
in the inverter
on
and
off
. It
does not
disconnect
power from the inverter.
When the button is in the
off
position, the inverter
draws no current from the battery. When it’s in the
on
position, but no power is being supplied to a
load, the inverter draws less than 600 milliamperes
from the battery. This is low current draw. It would
take more than a week to discharge a 100 ampere-
hour battery at this rate depending on the age of
the battery.
Remote On/Off Switch

An optional
Remote On/Off Switch
(see page 24 to order
accessories) can be connected to the
Remote Jack
allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverter
on
or
off
from a convenient location when the inverter is installed
in an out of reach location.
