Inverter Mode Messages
Charger Mode Messages
Error Mode Messages
When the inverter is On (no AC present), it is either inverting or it is testing the AC output
circuits for loads that meet the Search Sense selection criteria .
Search Mode reduces by about 90% the amount of energy required to operate the inverter
while idling.
When the inverter is in Search Mode, the LCD will display the ‘Searching’ message shown
below and the LED will be flashing slowly each time the unit probes the AC output circuit for
a load. When the unit is inverting, the LCD will display the ‘Inverting’ message and the LED
will be lighted steadily.
Whenever AC power is available, the inverter/charger will automatically switch to charger
mode. There are three separate charger modes: Bulk, Absorption, and Float. Consult your
inverter/charger Owner’s Manual for more information about these charging modes.
When the charger is charging in Bulk mode, the LCD will display the ‘ ’
message and the Charge LED will be lighted steadily.
When the charger is charging in Absorption mode, the LCD will display the ‘
’ message, and the Charge LED will flash slowly. The Bat Full LED will be lighted
steadily when the battery is 90 to 100% fully charged..
When the charger is charging in the Float mode, the LCD will display the ‘ ’
message, the Charge LED will not be lighted, and the Bat Full LED will be lighted steadily.
Your inverter/charger protects itself and your energy system from damage caused by
overloading, high battery and internal temperatures, overcharging by an external source,
and other problems. The RC7 and RC7GS report these conditions by lighting the Error
LED, sounding an alarm buzzer for up to five minutes, and displaying an error message on
the LCD suggesting the appropriate action to remedy the error condition. In most cases,
the inverter/charger will shut down until the error condition is corrected.
When this message is displayed, the inverter/charger transformer and power components
have exceeded a safe operating temperature. Reduce the load on the inverter. When it
has cooled, it will automatically reset and resume operating. If this condition occurs often,
make sure the inverter is in a cool location, has adequate ventilation, and the cooling fan is
operational.
