Feature Identification

Identify the premium features on your specific model and quickly locate instructions on how to maximize their use.
Operating Mode Switch: controls Inverter operation. Set this
1
3-position rocker switch to "ON" to have your Inverter provide
connected equipment with AC power by converting DC power from
an attached battery. Set switch to "OFF" when not using connected
equipment to prevent battery drain. Set switch to "REMOTE" to
remotely monitor and control the Inverter with the use of an optional
remote module.
"LOAD" Indicator Lights: intuitive "traffic light" signals show
2
approximate equipment load level. See "Operation for instructions on
reading indicator lights.
"BATTERY" Indicator Lights: intuitive "traffic light" signals show
3
approximate charge level of your battery. See "Operation" for
instructions on reading indicator lights.
DC Power Terminals: connect to your battery terminals. See

"Battery Connection" for connection instructions.
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) AC Receptacles: allow you to
5
connect equipment that would normally be plugged into a utility
outlet. Enhancing safety, they feature ground fault interrupter circuits
that trip if there is a mismatch between the line current and the
neutral current.
