Powering Down; Adding New Devices - Outback FXR2012A Operator's Manual

3. Using the system display, temporarily bring each slave out of Silent mode by raising the Power
Save Level of the master. (See page 47.)

As each slave is activated, it will click and create an audible hum.

Confirm that the system display shows no fault messages.
4. Using a DVM or voltmeter, verify appropriate voltage between the AC HOT OUT terminal on
the master inverter and the AC HOT OUT terminal on each slave. Series inverters should read
within 10% of 120 Vac or the programmed output voltage. Parallel inverters should read
close to zero. Three-phase inverters should read within 10% of 208 Vac or the designated
output voltage.

When this test is finished, return the master to its previous Power Save Level.
After output testing is completed, perform the following steps:
6. Close the AC output circuit breakers. If AC bypass switches are present, place them in the
normal (non-bypass) position. Do not connect an AC input source or close any AC input circuits.
7. Use a DVM to verify correct voltage at the AC load panel.
8. Connect a small AC load and test for proper functionality.
9. Close the AC input circuit breakers and connect an AC source.

Using a DVM or voltmeter, check the AC HOT IN and AC NEUTRAL IN terminals for 120 Vac (or
appropriate voltage) from the AC source.

If a system display is present, confirm that the inverter accepts the AC source as appropriate for its
programming. (Some modes or functions may restrict connection with the source. If one of these
selections has been used for the system, it may not connect.) Check the system display indicators
for correct performance.
10. If the charger is activated, the inverter will perform a battery charging cycle after powering up.
This can take several hours. If restarted after a temporary shutdown, the inverter may skip
most or all of the charging cycle. Confirm that it is charging as appropriate by using the
system display.
11. Test other functions which have been enabled, such as generator start, selling, or search mode.
12. Compare the DVM's readings with the system display meter readings. If necessary, the system
display's readings can be calibrated to match the DVM more accurately. Calibrated settings
include AC input voltage, AC output voltage, and battery voltage.

Powering Down

These steps will completely isolate the inverter.
To remove power from the system:
1. Turn off all load circuits and AC input sources.
2. Turn off all renewable energy circuits.
3. Turn each inverter OFF using the MATE3 system display or external switch.
4. Turn off the main DC overcurrent devices for each inverter.

Adding New Devices

When adding new devices to the system, first turn off the system according to the Power Down
instructions. After adding new devices, perform another functional test, including programming.
