Inverter (if so equipped)
A factory installed inverter converts 12-volts DC to useable 120-volts AC and supplies con-
tinuous AC power to the appliance plugged into it. It is important that you familiarize your-
self with the inverter function and operation. The inverter should be "off" when not in use.
™ NOTE: The factory installed inverter is not intended for use, nor should be
used, with any medical device(s). The inverter may, however, be used with
some CPAP machines, depending on the CPAP model. Consult your CPAP
machine's instruction manual before use to ensure proper operation.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a residential style refrigerator, the inverter may
be used to supply the 120-volts AC necessary to power the refrigerator.
Maintenance
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the inverter case and the manufacturer's
warranty will be void if the case has been removed. The inverter cooling fins and the cooling
fan should be kept clear of any obstructions.
Command Center Switch (if so equipped)
Your RV may have an inverter remote display on the Command Center switch panel. There
are power and select buttons, Status/Display indicators and a single line digital alpha- nu-
meric display. The display can show measured battery voltage, AC output power, inverter
settings and error codes.
Refer to the Inverter manufacturers' manual in your warranty packet for further operating
instructions, error codes, changing inverter settings and safety information.
POWER button is used to turn the inverter on and off. To turn on the inverter and the LED
display press and hold POWER for 1 second until you hear a beep.
™ NOTE: When in Inverter Mode you will be able to cycle through Battery
Voltage, Inverter Power, inverter settings and error codes.
When in Bypass Mode you will be able to cycle through Battery Voltage, inverter
settings and error codes. Inverter Power will not be available because the inverter
is idle.
The STATUS and DISPLAY indicators indicate the inverter status:
• STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both GREEN - Unit is plugged into shore power.
The panel is in Bypass Mode and will display battery voltage in DC volts.
• STATUS LED AMBER, DISPLAY LED GREEN - Inverter Mode is active. In-
verter is ON and will display battery voltage in DC volts (not connected to shore
power).
• STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both AMBER - Inverter Mode is active. Inverter
is ON, pressing the SELECT button will display inverter power output. Display
shows power output in KW.
• STATUS LED FLASHES AMBER, DISPLAY LED IS OFF - If the unit is in In-
verter Mode, and you plug in shore power, the STATUS LED will begin flashing
AMBER and the unit will switch to Bypass Mode within 20 seconds of detecting
an AC input.
• If the STATUS LED is RED and DISPLAY LED is OFF, the display will show
an error code of E01 through E12. This indicates a fault in the inverter circuit that
needs attention. Inverter will shut down.
™ NOTE: The power button is NOT a power disconnect switch and will not re-
move DC power from the inverter. Disconnect ALL power from the inverter
before working on it.
