Warning! Do not operate the power inverter without connecting the ground
terminal to ground. Electrical shock hazard may result, and the GFCI circuit will
not operate properly.
5. Operation:
To operate the power inverter, turn it on using the ON/OFF switch on the front panel. The
power inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If you are operating several
loads from the power inverter, turn them on separately after the inverter has been turned on.
This will ensure that the power inverter does not have to deliver the starting currents for all
the loads at once.
5-1.
Controls and Indicators:
The front panel ON/OFF switch turns the control circuit in the power inverter on and
off. It does not disconnect power from the power inverter.
When the switch is in the OFF position, the power inverter draws no current from the
battery. When the switch is in the ON position but with no load, the power inverter
draws less than 1.65A / normal, 0.12A / power saving mode (12V version) from the
battery.

Input Level Indicator:
The input level indicator indicates the voltage at the input terminals of the power
inverter. At low input current, this voltage is very close to the battery voltage. At
high input current, this voltage will be lower than the battery voltage because of the
voltage drop across the cable and connections. Ideally, the voltage should remain in
the green. If the voltage goes into the RED area, the inverter may shut down.
