Turning Your Inverter On or Of f
•
Be sure to have your power inverter properly installed before
attempting to turn the unit on (see installation page 5).
To turn the power inverter on:
1. If a DC power supply is being
used as the power source, switch
it on.
2. On the left side panel, switch the
On/Off Switch to on.
The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads.
If several loads are to be operated by the inverter, turn them
on separately, after the inverter has been turned on. This will
ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting
currents required for all the loads at once.
To turn the power inverter off:
1. On the left side panel,
switch the On/Off Switch
to off.
NOTE The On/Off Switch turns the control circuit
in the inverter on and off.Itdoes not disconnect
power from the inverter.
When the switch is in the off position, the inverter
draws no current from the battery. When it’s in the
on position, but no power is being supplied to the
load, the inverter draws less than 500 milliamperes
from the battery. This is low current draw. It would
take more than a week to discharge a 100 ampere-
hour battery at this rate depending on the age of
the battery.
