3.07.2 The 120/240 VAC output is
presented behind the wiring compartment
panel for direct hardwire connection. The
black wires are hot, the white wire is neutral
and the green wire is ground. The cable
clamp strain relief should be used to secure
the field wires.
3.07.3
The remote AC outlets should
be mounted at a convenient location in a
listed outlet box with approved strain relief.
3.08 120/240 VAC Input (T or T1
option)
3.08.1
120/240 VAC, 60 HZ power
from the electric utility or generator can be
connected to the inverter with hardwire con-
nections at the AC Input wire leads provided
in the hardwire compartment. The black
wires are hot, the white wire is neutral, and
the green wire is ground. The cable clamp
strain relief should be used to secure the field
wires.
3.08.2 The input circuit should have
30 amp (50 amp for T1) circuit protection
from the distribution panel.
3.08.3 If provided with the "T" or "T1"
option, when external 120/240 VAC is sup-
plied, the internal transfer switch is automati-
cally activated, the inverter is turned "Off",
and the inverter's loads will operate from
external AC.

4. START UP/OPERATION

4.01 To operate the inverter, turn the
inverter switch to "ON". Assure that the
breakers are reset.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

5.01 Sensata offers free phone consulta-
tion (no collect calls) concerning installation
or troubleshooting. Call the Customer Ser-
vice Department at:
1-651- 653-7000 or 1-800-553-6418
fax number: 651-653-7600
e-mail: inverterinfo@sensata.com
NOTE: Since the inverter has a quasi-sine
waveform, a TRUE RMS volt meter is re-
quired for an accurate reading. Other volt
meters that use averaging circuitry will give
incorrect readings.
5.02 If the inverter fails to operate, use the
following troubleshooting procedure.
5.02.1 Connect a 100 watt light bulb to
the inverter output.
5.02.2
"On", and the circuit breakers are reset.
5.02.3
lights on the front of the inverter.
a) The Low input voltage light indicates
a low power source condition. Switch the
inverter "Off" for 5 seconds, then "On" again.
The light coming on again indicates a fault in
the D.C. wiring, power source capacity and
voltage or the line fuse.
b)
The Overload light indicates an
output wiring short circuit or a load that is too
large for the power rating of the inverter.
Switch the inverter "Off", remove the short
circuit or excessive load from the output, then
switch the inverter back "On".
c) The High temperature light indicates
the inverter has overheated. The unit will
automatically turn back on when it has cooled
