Performing Checks Prior to Operation
Before starting up your inverter, ensure these conditions are met:
Verify the On/Off switch is in the Off position.
Verify the Positive (+) battery cable is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Verify the Negative (-) battery cable is connected to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Verify the battery voltage is within the proper range for this unit (roughly 10-15.5 volts DC).
Verify the DC fuse is in tact.

Testing Installation

When you are ready to test your installation and operate the TruePower Inverter, close
the DC fuse or the DC circuit breaker to supply DC power to the TruePower inverter.
Display Functions of the LED Light Pattern:
The ON/OFF switch turns the TruePower inverter to ON or to OFF:
- In the On position, the Inverter Power LED light illuminates Green. The TruePower
begins inverting and provides AC power.
- In the Off position, the TruePower Inverter draws no current from the battery.
None of the front panel LED lights are illuminated.
- The Fault Light Illuminates Red when a fault conditions such as over temperature,
output overload, or battery low voltage occurs.
To test the TruePower Inverter:
1. Turn the On/Off switch to the ON position.
The Inverter/Fault LED light illuminates Green.
2. Plug an appliance of equal watts or less into the AC outlet.
3. Turn the appliance ON to verify that it operates.
If the Inverter/Fault light illuminates Red, see the TruePower Inverter
