Remote Control Panel (Optional)
When the inverters on/off switch will not be easily accessible, an optional remote control panel can be fitted.
1. Recess mount the control panel and fix with 2 x screws
2. Connect data plug to socket (7) on inverter
3. Ensure inverter on/off switch is set to ON(I) position
4. Set remote control panel switch to ON (I) position
5. The power indicator will illuminate green to show the inverter is operating
1. Power on/off switch
2. Power indicator
3. Over load indicator
4. Over temperature indicator
5. Data cable & plug
5. GENERAL INFORMATION
Continuous and Surge Power
A Continuous rating is the amount of power the inverter can handle for a number of hours without
overloading. The Surge rating is a brief burst of power the inverter can provide to help start certain types of
load.
Loads requiring surge power
The power rating shown on most electrical appliances is a continuous rating but some appliances require
up to five times this power for a brief period in order to start operating. This needs to be considered when
rating the inverter to avoid overloading it.
When using a microwave oven it should also be noted that the electrical power required from the supply is
around 50% higher than the actual cooking power of the microwave.
