6.2 Performing an Inverter Reset
Press and hold the Power ON/OFF button (see Figure 6-1) for approximately
fi
fteen (15) seconds until the Charging/Inverting Status LED comes on and
fl
ashes rapidly. Once the rapid
fl
ashing has begun, release the Power ON/
OFF button. The Status LED will go off after the button is released.
After the inverter reset is completed, press the ON/OFF button to turn the
inverter ON.
Some older inverter models do not allow an inverter reset, if the inverter reset
fails, you will need to power-down the inverter using the procedure below.
In either case, if an “internal fault” does not clear, the inverter will require
repair at an authorized service facility.
Info:
The Power ON/OFF button is a small momentary type switch
which operates by lightly pressing and releasing.
Info:
All adjustable inverter/charger settings in the ME-ARC (except
for the Setup 01B Contrast, 01C Backlight and 03 Gen Control - which
revert back to default) are saved in non-volatile memory and are
preserved until changed - even if an inverter reset is performed or
if all power to the remote or inverter is removed.

6.3 Powering Down the Inverter
Perform the following steps to power-down the inverter:
Remove all AC power (utility or generator power) to the inverter.
Disconnect the positive battery cable to the inverter.
Ensure the inverter and remote control are disconnected from all AC
and DC power (the remote display will be blank).
After the inverter has been disconnected from all power for 30 seconds, re-
connect the positive battery cable and resume operation.
Info:
There may be a momentary spark when the positive battery
cable is connected to the inverter’s terminal; this is normal and in-
dicates that the inverter’s internal capacitors are being charged.
