ON/OFF Switch
The ON/OFF Switch is a momentary push-button switch that duplicates
the ON/OFF switch on the inverter. This switch also allows additional
changes to be made while in the Invert or Charge Mode.
When the inverter is first connected to the batteries, the inverter and
remote go through an internal 10 seconds start-up test. After this test
is completed, the ON/OFF switch can be pressed to turn on the
inverter. Once the inverter has been turned on, momentarily pressing
the ON/OFF switch alternately turns the inverter On/Standby and Off.
On models with the search mode function, the ON/OFF switch can be
used to enable or disable the search mode. While in the Invert Mode,
pressing and holding this switch for three seconds causes the search
mode to alternate between Disabled (Inverter always on - indicated
by the INVERT LED indicator always on) and 5W (the inverter is
looking for at least a 5 watt load to turn on and start inverting -
indicated by the INVERT LED indicator blinking once a second).
On models with the battery charger feature, this switch can also be
used to put the charger in standby (disables the charger) so that all
the incoming power can be used exclusively for the AC loads. To put
the charger in standby, press and hold the ON/OFF switch for three
seconds (you must be in the Charge Mode). When this happens, the
charging indicators (BULK, ABSORB and FLOAT) will go off. To activate
the charger, press and hold the ON/OFF switch for three seconds
again. When the charger is again activated, one of the charging
indicators will come on to show the current charge stage.
Warning - When any external AC power is passing through
the inverter and present on the output. Pressing the ON/OFF
switch will not remove this AC power on the inverter’s output.
Monitoring the LED Indicators
MM-R and MM-RC Remotes
The three LED indicators on the left side of both the MM-R and MM-RC
remotes (
s
ee
figure 13)
will show you the operating status of the
MM
Series inverter.
Monitor these indicators to determine the inverter’s
mode of operation:
INVERT (green) -
• On (solid)
- and AC IN LED indicator is Off - The inverter is On. It is using
energy from the battery to supply AC power to the loads connected
to the inverter.
- and AC IN LED indicator is On (solid) - The inverter is in Standby.
The external AC power (Utility or generator) connected to the
inverters input is passing through the inverter to power the AC
loads. The inverter will automatically turn on to power the AC loads
if the external AC power is lost or disconnected.
• Blinks On (once every second) - The inverter is in search mode.
The AC load is below 5 watts (Search Watts default setting).
• Off - The inverter
is disabled. The inverter is not on or will not come
on if AC power is lost or disconnected.
