Step 8: Testing Your Installation

Testing in Invert Mode

Testing in Charge Mode

975-0126-01-01
WARNING: Shock hazard
The Inverter Enable button on the RS2000 and the optional accessories do not disconnect
DC or AC input power to the RS2000.
There are three tests to be performed for testing your installation. The first test
verifies that the RS2000 works in invert mode. The second test verifies that the
RS2000 works in charge mode. The third test verifies that the RS2000 works in
AC bypass mode.
To test the inverter/charger in invert mode, using a 100 watt light bulb as the
test load:
1. Close the DC disconnect switch or the DC circuit breaker to supply DC power
to the RS2000.
The unit takes 10 to 30 seconds to initialize. After 10 to 30 seconds, normal
indicator lights illuminate on the front panel.
2. Verify that all lights illuminate. Only the Inverter On light stays illuminated.
3. Close the AC output breaker to connect the RS2000 to the load or load panel.
The light bulb is illuminated.
To test the RS2000 in charge mode:
1. Close the AC supply breaker to supply AC power to the unit.
2. After a few seconds, verify that the Bulk light illuminates. Over a period of
time, the Absorption or Float light illuminates as charging progresses.
• In three-stage charging, the Bulk, Absorption and Float lights illuminate
in sequence.
• In two-stage charging, the Bulk and Absorption lights illuminate in
sequence.
Important:
The charging process, whether it is three-stage or two-stage charging,
occurs over an extended period of time.
