Operation
!
cAUtion!
When the inverter is switched Off using the optional external Remote
Control rC-300, there will be a very minor current drain of up to 3mA
for the 12V version of the inverter and up to 5mA for the 24V version of
the inverter. There will be no drain from the battery when the inverter is
switched off as follows:
a) When not using external 1-Wire or 2-Wire on/oFF control: by switching
Off the 3-Position Rocker Switch (1, fig 6.1a) to center position marked
“ON” / “Off”
b) When using external 1-Wire or 2-Wire on/oFF control: by Switching off
the inverter by (i) opening the switch or the relay contact in 2-Wire ON/Off
Control (fig 8.2a) or (ii) opening the switch or relay contact in 2-Wire ON/Off
Control using switched DC voltage (fig 8.2b) or (iii) opening the switch or
relay contact in 1-Wire ON/Off Control using switched DC voltage from the
battery supplying the inverter.

Please refer to definitions of Active Power (Watts), Apparent Power (VA) and
Power factor (Pf) at Section 2.1. In the explanation below, the values of Power
are expressed in Apparent Power in VA. Corresponding Active Power (Watts, W)
will depend upon the type of load (Resistive or Reactive) and its Power factor
(Power factor may range from 1 to 0.5). Please note the following:
• Active Power (Watts) = Apparent Power (VA) x Power factor (Pf).
• for resistive type of loads, the Power factor = 1 and hence, Apparent Power
(VA) = Active Power (Watts, W)
• for reactive types of loads, the Power factor will be
the Active Power (Watts, W) will be less than the Apparent Power (VA)
