INSTALLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION FOR MODEL A31 

PAGE 8 OF 15 

If the green LED "READY" does not light, check the type and number of cells of the battery to verify that 
it is correct. 
 
If  the  LED  marked  “REVERSE  POLARITY”  illuminates,  the  battery  has  not  been  installed  as  indicated.  
Disconnect the battery wires immediately or damage to the inverter may occur. 

8.7 

AC LOAD AND AC BYPASS LINE 

A terminal strip, (TS-A), is provided for the AC load and AC bypass line, when used.  Connect the AC load 
wires phase (hot) to the phase terminal.  Connect the neutral to (N) terminal. 

8.8 

ADJUSTMENTS 

The unit is factory set. No field adjustments are necessary.  If an internal setting must be changed, call 
the factory for more information. 

8.9 

START - UP  

The  start-up  procedure  will  guide  you  on  how  to  safely  power  up  an  A31  Inverter  with  or 
without a static switch and to confirm the utility power wiring to the inverter. 

 

(INVERTER PRIME) 

If  the  inverter  has  a  1  millisecond  static  switch, 

Option  codes  22P  or  22S

,  it  will  have  a  S2A-239A 

circuit board. 

After the pre-charge instructions are complete, turn on the AC output breaker of the inverter. 

The  LED’s  on  the  front  door  should  do  a  blink  sequence  and  the  “LOAD  ON”  prime  LED  and  the 
“INVERTER AVAILABLE” LED should light.  Turn on the bypass source. (Utility). 

The  “PHASE-LOCK”  LED,  “UTILITY  AVAILABLE”  LED,  “INVERTER  AVAILABLE”  LED  AND  “LOAD  ON 
PREFERRED SOURCE” LED should be lit.  The re-transfer switch should be in the auto position.  Confirm 
the output voltage at the load terminals. 

 

(INVERTER STANDBY) 

If  the  inverter  has  a  1  millisecond  static  switch, 

Option  codes  22P  or  22S

,  it  will  have  a  S2A-239A 

circuit board. 

After the pre-charge instructions are complete, turn on the AC output breaker of the inverter.  

The  LED's  on  the  front  door  should  do  a  blink  sequence  and  the  "LOAD  ON  ALTERNATE"  LED  and  the 
“INVERTER AVAILABLE” LED should light. 

Turn  on  the  bypass  source  (Utility).    The  "UTILITY"  LED,  the  "LOAD  ON  PREFERRED  SOURCE"  and  the 
"PHASE LOCK" LED should light.  The re-transfer switch should be in the auto position. 

To  confirm  settings  the  customer  cal  mode  may  be  entered  by  holding  the  select  switch  (SW1  on  the 
239A board, SW1 on the 240 board) in the up position for 5 continuous seconds.  Upon entry the display 
will show “CAL”.  The calibration mode works such that the software will execute each calibration task in 
a  predefined  sequence  advancing  to  the  next  calibration  setting  only  when  the  operator  toggles  the 
transfer  mode  switch.   

Refer  to  the  22P/22S  Static  Switch  (P25-DSSS-1)  specification  sheet 

included in manual.

 

If the inverter has a 20 millisecond static switch

, Option codes 164 or 165,

 it will have printed circuit 

board S2A-139A.  Turn on the alternate source (bypass).  The "BYPASS AVAILABLE" LED and "LOAD ON 
BYPASS" LED should be lit.  The "INVERTER AVAILABLE" LED should be “OFF”.  Turn on the AC output 
breaker of the inverter.  Confirm the output voltage at the load terminals. 

If  the  inverter  does  not  have  any  static  switch,  after  confirming  that  there  is  no  voltage  on  the  load 
terminals, then turn on the AC output breaker of the inverter.  Confirm the output voltage of the inverter 
at the load terminals. 

Once  the  inverter  start-up  has  been  completed  it  does  not  matter  if  you  turn  the  inverter  or  utility 
(bypass) on first because the wiring has been tested.
