Possible Cause
Static electricity may
have been discharged

RJ11 connections on
communication cable
are not making a
good connection.
Remote not getting
suffi cient power from
inverter.

connected to the
Remote port on the
inverter.
Inverter is not
connected to the
batteries.
Solution
Refresh Display: Press and hold the
SELECT knob for 10 seconds.
Reset remote: 1) Disconnect remote
cable from inverter for 5 seconds and
reconnect;
2) Check RJ11 cable connection on back of
remote (Figure 2-2).
Important: Ensure the RJ11 connector is
pushed into the correct port. You should
feel/hear a "click" when the connection is
made.
Ensure inverter batteries are connected
and the inverter is operating correctly;
the inverter should be able to invert and
power AC loads from the batteries (ensure
no AC power is connected to the inverter
AC inputs).
Press any button to reactivate the remote
(or turn Power Save mode Off).
Check communications cable from
inverter to remote; ensure: 1) it is
connected to the Remote port, 2) the
correct communications cable is used
(a 4-conductor telephone cable may be
substituted to determine if the cable is
good).
Ensure the inverter batteries are
connected and the inverter is operating
correctly without any AC power connected
(can invert and power AC loads from
batteries).
