Changing the Idle Mode Setting
The Idle mode setting determines the size of AC load that is
needed to wake the inverter from its Idle (or standby) mode.
The settings are 0 W, 4 W, 6 W, and 15 W. The default is 4 W.
If you set the Idle mode to 0 W, Idle mode is actually
defeated and the inverter stays on all the time. When the
inverter is on, it draws approximately 0.5 amps. This setting
is useful if you want to ensure uninterrupted power to a very
small load like an electric clock.
The other three settings let you conserve battery power
because the inverter stays off until an adequate-sized load
brings the inverter out of Idle mode.
To change the Idle mode setting:
1. Press and hold
SET
until
SEL
appears.
2. Press the
INVERT
/
IDLE
MODE
button. The present value
appears.
3. Press and hold
SET
until the display scrolls through the
other values.
4. Release
SET
when the value you want appears.
Note:
The
INVERT
button LED must be on before you can
change the Idle mode setting.
