2500 watt inverter switch
Instead of the regular inverter switch on the monitor panel, your
inverter switch will be on its own smaller panel to the left of the
main monitor panel. The switch has three positions: off in the
middle position, power save auto in the top position, and power
save off in the bottom position.
In the power save auto setting, when you're not using anything
with 120 volt power, the inverter will put itself to sleep. In this
mode, it still uses a small amount of power. If you turn on a 120
volt appliance, it senses a load and will come back on in about
20 seconds. If you select power save auto you'll reduce the
electricity it takes to keep the inverter powered, and your
batteries will require less recharging.
Many appliances use a small amount of power even
when off. It is possible for some of these appliances to use
just enough power to get the inverter to turn on and off
continuosly when in power save mode. If this happens,
either unplug the appliance or turn the inverter off or on.
Pressing the bottom of the switch selects power save off. When this setting is selected, the inverter will be on continuously.
There is a shore power indicator light to the right of the switch to tell you the system is receiving shore power. There is also a
battery charging indicator light to tell you when the batteries are being charged by shore power.
Your refrigerator will run on either 12 volt battery power or 120 volt inverter power.
