Large amounts of DC current can be drawn by your LD700-24, care must be taken. Fixed Installation All fixed installation battery connections must be securely bolted, using stainless steel nuts and bolts. To protect the connection from corrosion smear a small amount of Vaseline or similar over the joint.

(see your auto electrician). The LD700-24 has sufficient battery cable length to allow it to sit underneath the vehicle whilst in use. If the ground is wet, place the LD700-24 on a waterproof liner.
Batteries and Connections Batteries are the key to maximum performance from your LD700-24, if a battery is too small or not fully charged it may result in de-rated performance from your LD700-24. Battery ratings Batteries can be rated in one of two ways: 1.

The Ah rating of a battery will also be reduced if the discharge current is higher than the rated discharge current. See your battery specifications for full details. LD700-24 Manual Selectronic Australia...
3. Check unit for any damage that may have resulted during transport, if any damage is evident report this to your supplier immediately. 4. Make sure the LD700-24 ON/OFF switch (12) is in the off position. 5. Connect battery positive wire (red) (10) to battery positive or battery fuse.
ON. Once the load has been removed (e.g. the light switch is turned off) the inverter will wait 10 seconds and return to SLEEP mode. It is good practice to have your LD700-24 in SLEEP mode as often as possible. When the LD700-24 is in SLEEP mode it uses 0.03 amps from the battery, when the inverter is in the ON mode it uses at least 0.50 amps from the battery.

AC load being drawn from it then LED (2) will come ON. The LD700-24 will remain in this condition for 1 minute after the AC load has been decreased to a safe level. LED (2) will flash if the inverter shuts down due to “time to shutdown”.
LED (5) comes ON, (approximately 1 second) indicating you are ready to adjust this setting. The LD700-24 will leave the factory with a setting of 4 watts. Now press the Mode button (7) until the desired value is sought.
Low Volts Adjust LED (5) (green) FLASHING To avoid total discharging of your battery the LD700-24 shuts down at a pre- set low voltage. As all batteries are different, so too is the minimum voltage they should be discharged to. The LD700-24 will leave the factory with a setting of 22.0 volts, change this setting if required.
Maintenance Inverter Periodic maintenance of your LD700-24 inverter involves little more than checking for any obstructions to the black cooling heatsink at the rear of the inverter. The heatsink must be cleared of any accumulated foreign matter that may have lodged itself between the fins since the last maintenance check, e.g.
This will indicate the inverter's operation by flashing when the inverter is in SLEEP mode and remaining ON when the inverter is brought ON by a load. LD700-24 Manual Selectronic Australia...
Connection from the aerial to the radio should be via a low loss coaxial cable. Please note the aerial must be an AM RADIO type; a TV aerial will not work. LD700-24 Manual Selectronic Australia...
Check again to make sure that there are no appliances left ON, the sequentially switch off appliances at the wall and by watching your night light (as described in Handy Hint, check to see if the LD700-24 returns to pulsing (SLEEP) mode after a 10 second delay. Once you have found the offending appliance, increase the sensitivity of the “Demand Start”...
