(inverting) the battery bank. The lower portion of the 

Amps DC

  scale also

displays the four 

Error

 conditions. In the upper right portion of the RC6 are

two lights marked 

Bulk Charge

 and 

Float Charge

.  These lights indicate

the stage the battery charger is in. When the inverter is inverting, they are

not lit.

Let’s take a more detailed look at each of the items pointed out in the picture above.

Power On/Off Switch and LED Indicator

The power on/off switch on the lower front right of the remote is a momentary type

switch and alternately turns the inverter on or off when pressed. The green light in the

middle of it will be lit steadily when the inverter is working, and if the inverter is in the

load search sense mode it will blink on and off rapidly. In charger mode the light will

blink slow green.

Battery Voltage Bar Graph

This bar graph contains a light that will move up and down the bar as the battery

voltage changes. The corresponding battery voltage is read to the left of the light. Red

lights mean out of tolerance, yellow lights marginally within tolerances, and green lights

show that everything is in a normal operating range. It is perfectly normal for battery

voltage to drop a bit when operating heavy loads. The inverter constantly monitors the

battery bank and will not allow it to be over discharged or over charged.

Note:

 A completely dead battery will read about 11.6 volts or less in an

“at rest” condition. “At rest” means the battery has been sitting dormant

for several hours with no load on it, and is not being recharged. When

the battery drops below a certain pre-set point, the inverter will shut

down, and if AC power is available to the inverter, it will recharge the

batteries.

Voltage

 is

electrical

pressure. It is

equivalent to

water pressure in

a hose.

Current 

or

Amps

 is the

volume of

electrical flow,

just like gallons

per hour through

a garden hose.
