Power Save Timer
The Power Save Timer is an adjustable countdown timer from 1 to
25 h ( is the default) that automatically shuts down inverter
operation to reduce battery discharge and preserve battery life.
During continuous inverter operation, the countdown is initiated
when power from the AC load drops to less than approximately 50
W and remains below this level. After reaching the end of the
countdown timer the inverter/charger automatically shuts down.
