Pre-installation Testing
This process is to determine whether your inverter will operate_a specific
equiphent or appliance. Your inverter is desigrred to automatically shut-off
inthb event of i power overload. Testing equipment/applianc-e withstart up
load ratings comparable to the maximum wattage rating of your inverter
will not damage it.
Some refrigerators, freezers, pumps and other similar equipment and
appliances iequire very high start up loads to operate. Before attempling to
pbwer up this type'of
-equipment
or appliance, make sure that all
ionnections have-been properly made and that the power source is fully
charged. Then, follow siep-by step procedures for Operational Guidelines
on page 4.
If voltage indicator confirms that the input voltage is within a9 agceptall.e
range. Turn inverter switch OFR ON, OFR and ON uguln- in quick
suciession. If unsuccessful, it is likely that the inverter model does not
have the required start up capaclty to operate the equipment or appliance
specified.
