When the inverter is switched ON, the GREEN "Power ON" LED (2, Fig. 6.1) will be
lighted. This LED indicates that the input section of the inverter is operating normally.
Under normal operating conditions, AC output voltage will now be available at the GFCI
Duplex Receptacle (5). The Green indicator light on the GFCI will be lighted.
Switch on the AC load(s). The GREEN "Power ON" LED (2) and the indication light on
the GFCI should remain lighted for normal operation of the load.
9.2 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED COOLING FAN
The cooling fan is thermostatically controlled. The fan sucks air from the ventilation open-
ings at the bottom of the unit (6A, Fig 6.1) and discharges through opening at the back of
the unit (6B, Fig 6.1). Temperature of a critical hot spot inside the inverter is monitored to
activate the fan and the over temperature shut-down. When the temperature of this hot
spot reaches 118.4°F / 48°C, the fan is switched ON. The fan will be automatically switched
OFF once the hot spot cools down to 107.6°F / 42°C. Please note that the fan may not
come on at low loads or if the ambient temperature is cooler. This is normal.
9.3 INDICATIONS FOR NORMAL OPERATION
When the inverter is operating normally and supplying AC load(s), the GREEN "Power ON"
LED (2) and the indication light on the GFCI will be lighted.
Please see under "Protections"
(Section 10) and "Troubleshooting Guide" (Section 11) for symptoms of abnormal operation.
9.4 NO LOAD DRAW (IDLE CURRENT)
When the ON/OFF switch is turned on, all the circuitry inside the inverter becomes alive
and the AC output is made available. In this condition, even when no load is being sup-
plied (or, if a load is connected but has been switched OFF), the inverter draws a small
amount of current from the batteries to keep the circuitry alive and ready to deliver
the required power on demand. This is called the "idle current" or the "no load draw".
Hence, when the load is not required to be operated, turn OFF the ON/OFF switch on
the inverter to prevent unnecessary current drain from the battery.
i
INFO
When the inverter is turned OFF using the optional Remote Control RC-15A,
some control circuitry in the inverter is still alive and will draw very low current.
Therefore, to prevent any drain from the battery, switch OFF the inverter from
the ON/OFF switch provided on the front panel of the inverter.
i
INFO
Si l'onduleur est fermé avec la Télécommande RC-15, quelques circuits rester-
ont actifs et continueront à tirer un faible courant. Afin de prévenir une perte
de tension de la batterie, fermez l'onduleur en utilisant l'interrupteur ON/OFF
situé sur le devant de l'onduleur.
