6.0 Start up and shut down procedures

Start-Up

After the AC input and output wires are connected and the batteries are properly installed, the unit is 
ready to be started up. Start-up requires that the AC input be present. The unit will not start up 
without AC input voltage.
Ensure that the incoming AC voltage is reaching the unit by turning on all feed circuit breakers. Once 
AC input is verified, simply turn on the systems on/off switch located behind the removable circuit 
breaker access door. Place the switch in the up position to on. The unit will go through a series of 
relay clicks to verify proper connections and then go into the charge mode. The unit is now on-line 
and ready. Verify that all load connections are operating within the specifications of the unit by 
measuring AC currents on both the line and load and measure all neutral currents to ensure line and 
neutral currents are the same.
Press the Test button on the front panel to verify that the normally off and switched output loads are 
all operational and again measure currents.
If alarms occur during start-up, see section 8.3 for possible explanations. Also see section 9.1 for 
Start-Up Mode explanations.

Shut-Down

To shut the system down, simply place the system on/off switch to the off position and place the 
input circuit breaker and any optional output breakers to the off position.
If the unit is Shut-Down for a long duration please see Battery Storage Section 2.2 to ensure that the 
batteries are not damaged from the effects of self-discharge and high ambient temperatures.
