REAR PANEL
Chassis ground screw:
The chassis ground screw must be properly connected to the chassis of your vehicle before operating
the inverter.
Fan(s):
In order for the inverter to properly operate, the fan(s) opening must never be obstructed. Allow at
least six inches of clearance around the inverter for airflow. All fans are thermostatics and operate
upon the interior temperature of inverter.
REMOTE CONTROL
(Except E-1000)
ON/OFF:
Your inverter is equipped with one 6 meters jack remote switch. The remote switch allows you to
mount your inverter out of sight and turn it ON or OFF from a convenient location. The ON/OFF
switch on the inverter’s front panel must be turned on for the remote to be operational.
Input Voltage:
By pressing the “SELECT” button until the “INPUT VOLTAGE ” light comes on, the battery voltage
indicator displays the voltage at the input terminal of the inverter. Usually this voltage is very close to
the battery voltage and the difference, if any, is caused by the resistance of the cables and
connections. A regular maintenance will contribute to minimize the possible resistance (see 5).
Output Power:
By pressing the “SELECT” button until the “OUTPUT POWER” ligh comes on, the watts indicator
displays the current provided by the inverter in KW. 1 KW = 1000 watts. If you read 1.20, it means
the inverter is providing 1200 watts.
“FAULT” light:
An audible alarm will sound announcing a faulty condition such as: low or high battery voltage and
overload.
“OVERTEMP” light:
An audible alarm will sound announcing an overtemp condition.
“LVP” on display:
Indicates the inverter is in Low input Voltage Protection mode (see 4.3).
“OLP” on display:
Indicates the inverter is in High input voltage Protection mode or if your consumption exceeds the
nominal capacity of the inverter (see 4.3).
