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 will allow the
search mode to alternate between Disabled (Inverter always on -
indicated by the INVERT LED 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 Blinking once a second).
On models with the battery charger feature, this switch can also be
used to disable the charger (Charger Standby) so that all the
incoming power can be used exclusively for the AC loads. To turn the
charger off, 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 turn the charger
back on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch for three seconds again.
When the charger is again enabled, 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.
