After configuring, mounting and connecting your Inverter/Charger, you are able to operate it by
switching between the following operating modes as appropriate to your situation:
AUTO: Switch to this mode when you need constant, uninterrupted AC power for
connected appliances and equipment. The Inverter/Charger will supply AC power to
connected equipment and charge your connected batteries while utility or generator-
supplied AC power is present. Since the inverter is ON (but in Standby) in this mode, it will
automatically switch to battery to supply AC power to connected equipment in the absence
of a utility/generator source or in over/under-voltage situations.
CHARGE ONLY: Switch to this mode when you are not using connected appliances and
equipment in order to conserve battery power by disabling the inverter. The
Inverter/Charger will continue to supply AC power to connected equipment and charge
connected batteries while utility- or generator-supplied AC power is present. However,
since the inverter is OFF in this mode, it WILL NOT supply AC power to
connected equipment in the absence of a utility/generator source or in over/under voltage
situations.
DC OFF: Switch to this mode to shut down the Inverter/Charger completely. This prevents
the inverter from drawing power from the batteries. Use this mode to automatically reset
the unit if it shuts down due to overload or overheating. First remove the excessive load or
allow the unit to sufficiently cool, as applicable. Switch to DC OFF, then back to AUTO or
CHARGE ONLY as desired. If the unit fails to reset, remove more load or allow unit to
cool further and try again. Note: The unit will always pass AC power to connected
equipment if plugged into a live AC outlet, regardless of the position of the Operating Mode
Switch.

Operation
Your Inverter/Charger features a set of intuitive, user-friendly indicator lights. These easy-to-read
“traffic light” signals allow you to determine at a glance the charge condition of your batteries, operating
details and fault conditions.
LINE Green Indicator: If the operating mode switch is set to AUTO, this light will
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY while connected equipment is receiving continuous AC
power from a utility/generator source. If the operating mode switch is set to CHARGE
ONLY, this light will FLASH to alert you that the unit's inverter is OFF and will NOT
supply AC power in the absence of a utility/generator source or in over/under-voltage
situations.
INV (Inverting) Yellow Indicator: This light will ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY
while connected equipment is receiving battery-supplied, inverted AC power (i.e. in the
absence of a utility/generator source or in over/under-voltage situations).
LOAD Red Indicator: This red light will FLASH if the inverter is functioning, and the
power demanded by connected appliances and equipment exceeds load capacity. It will
also FLASH due to inverter overheating. If this happens, turn the operating mode switch to
DC OFF, remove the overload and allow the inverter to cool. After the unit has adequately
cooled, you may turn the operating mode switch to either AUTO or CHARGE ONLY. This
light will be DARK when AC power is supplying the load.
