RVCF Advanced User Manual 5.4 Routine inspection and period inspection To ensure stable and safe operations, check and maintain the inverter regularly and periodically. The table below lists the items to be check to ensure stable and safe operations. Check these items 5 minutes after the “Charge” indicator goes out to prevent service persons from being hurt by residual electric power.
RVCF Advanced User Manual 5.5 Maintenance and Inspection Inverter doesn’t need daily inspection and maintenance. To ensure long-term reliability, follow the instructions below to perform regular inspection. Turn the power off and wait for the charge indicator (LED101) to go out before inspection to avoid potential shock hazard possibly caused by charges resides in high-capacity capacitors.
