4 Operation
Chapter 4 explains how to operate the Mobile Digital Power Inverter efficiently and
effectively. Specifically, this chapter:
• Gives procedures for operating the inverter from the front panel
• Discusses operating limits and inverter loads
• Provides information about routine maintenance
Turning the Inverter ON and OFF
The ON/OFF switch on the inverter's front panel turns the control circuit in the
Mobile Digital Power Inverter on and off.
To turn the inverter on and off from its front panel:
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position to turn the inverter on.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position to turn the inverter off.
When the switch is off, the inverter draws a very low current from the battery.
NOTE: The digital display on the inverter may not show the exact power in watts
that is being used. Devices that draw a small load when compared to the capacity
of the inverter may display zero for power out, this is normal. Please double
check that the small load device is working as expected if the display shows a
zero. Please contact our customer support for questions at 1‐877‐466‐8191.
CAUTION
The remote control will function when the power switch on the Mobile Digital
Inverter is in the off position. It will not function when the switch is turned on.
Make sure the remote control cable is connected to the inverter securely and the
switch is off before operating the remote control.
CAUTION
The Mobile Digital Power Inverter's ON/OFF switch does not disconnect DC battery
power from the Mobile Digital Power Inverter. You must disconnect AC and DC
power before working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the Mobile Digital Power Inverter,
turn them 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.
