4 Operation
Chapter 4 explains how to operate the inverter efficiently and effectively.
Specifically, this chapter:
• Gives procedures for operating the inverter from the front panel
• Discusses operating limits and inverter loads
• Discusses battery charging frequency
• Provides information about routine maintenance
Turning the Inverter On and Off
The On/Off switch on the inverter’s front panel turns the control circuit in
the inverter on and off.
To turn the inverter on and off from its front panel:
• Move the On/Off switch to the On position to turn the inverter on.
• Move the On/Off switch to the Off position to turn the inverter off.
When the switch is Off, the inverter draws a very low current from
the battery.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the inverter, turn them on
separately after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have
to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and will help
prevent an overload shutdown.
CAUTION
The inverter’s On/Off switch does not disconnect DC battery power from the
inverter. You must disconnect AC and DC power before working on any circuits
connected to the inverter.
