5. Operation

To operate the power inverter, turn it on using the ON/OFF switch on the front panel. The
power inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If you are operating several
loads from the power inverter, turn them on separately after the inverter has been turned
on. This will ensure that the power inverter does not have to deliver the starting currents
for all the loads at once.

5.1 Operating On/Off Switch

The ON/OFF switch turns the control circuit in the power inverter ON and OFF. It does not
disconnect power from the power inverter. When the switch is in the OFF position, the
power inverter draws no current from the battery. When the switch is in the ON position
but with no load, the power inverter draws less than 2.5 W (GP-SW600), 14.4 W (GP-
SW1000, GP-SW2000 and GP-SW3000) from the battery. When in Power Save mode the
GP-SW1000, GP-SW2000 and GP-SW3000 will draw approximately 3.0 W from the
battery.

5.2 Input Level (battery voltage) indicator

The GP-SW600, GP-SW1000, GP-SW2000 and GP-SW3000 Input Level LED changes
colour from green to yellow to red as battery voltage decreases from a resting voltage of
12.7 V - 10.5 V (12 V) or 25.4 V – 21V (24 V). The Input Level LED changes colour from
green to yellow to red as battery voltage increases from a resting voltage of 12.7V – 15.0
V (12 V) or 25.4 V – 30.0 V (24 V).

5.3 Load Level Indicator

The Load Level LED Indicator changes color from green to yellow to red as the load is
increased. The Load Level LED Indicator will be red at peak wattage or peak load.
The Load Level LED Indicator should be green or yellow for long-term operation.
Short-term operation is possible with the load indicator in the red area. If the load rises to
dangerous levels, the inverter will protect itself and shut down.

5.4 Fault Indicator (GP-SW600)

Any of the inverter's protection faults can be re-set by turning the inverter off for five
seconds, correcting the fault, and then turning the inverter on again (see Section 5.6 –
5.9).

5.5 Status Indicator (GP-SW1000, GP-SW2000 and GP-SW3000)

The status LED indicator will display the operating condition of the inverter. A solid green
LED is normal. A flashing green LED indicates the inverter is in power save mode (see
Power Saving). A red LED, flashing or otherwise, indicates a fault (see Section 5.6 – 5.9).

5.6 Over Voltage Indicator (OVP)

During over voltage, Input Level LED will continually flash red four times per second, five
double beeps will sound, the fault light (GP-SW600) or status light (GP-SW1000, GP-
SW2000 and GP-SW3000) will come on and the AC output will disconnect.

5.7 Low / Under Voltage Indicator (UVP)

During low voltage, the Input Level LED will continually flash red twice per second and five
single beeps will sound every eight seconds. During under voltage the Input Level LED will
continually flash red twice per second, five double beeps will sound, the fault light (GP-
SW600) or status light (GP-SW1000, GP-SW2000 and GP-SW3000) will flash red twice
per second and the AC output will disconnect.
