Inverter Facts; Electrical Systems - House - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

Important Facts About the Inverter:
• The inverter will not charge automatically unless the remote is set
to CHG or ON by using the red button.
• With AC available, if for any reason battery voltage dropped
below 8.5 Volts DC, before the remote was set to CHG or ON,
the inverter will not charge the batteries. The inverter requires at
least 8.5 Volts DC to operate the internal "brain." Use an alternate
method of inducing a charge voltage to the house batteries.
If this situation occurs:
1. Hook to shore power or start the generator.
2. Start the engine. The alternator on the engine should
supply a charge to the house batteries.
3. The LCD screen should display. Press the red button
until the cursor is under CHG.
4. After the remote indicates the inverter is charging,
the engine can be shut off.
5. If this method does not work a battery charger may be used.
Observe polarity when hooking up cables. Reverse polarity
will damage the inverter.
WARNING: The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks or lit cigarettes. An explosion can
result in injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid, which burns skin, eyes and clothing. Do not connect the
end of the second cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery when being jumped. A spark may cause an explosion
of the gases that surround the battery. Connect only to
chassis, away from the battery.
• When the main battery disconnect switch is turned off, or if
battery power to the inverter is removed, all program settings are
lost. When battery power is restored, the inverter will need to be
programmed.
