Inverter Operation

Testing the GFCI

Perform the following GFCI Test:
1. Turn the inverter on.
2. Plug a simple appliance, such as a lamp, in the GFCI outlet. Turn the
lamp on.
3. Press the TEST button. Observe a clicking sound. The lamp turns off.
4. Press the RESET button all the way to the bottom until the button
locks into position. The lamp turns back on.
IMPORTANT: Perform this GFCI test once a month to ensure continued
functionality of the GFCI.

Operating Several Loads at Once

If you are going to operate several loads from the inverter, turn the loads on
one at a time 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.

NOTE: Although the inverter
incorporates over-voltage
protection, it can still be damaged
if input voltage exceeds 16 volts.
