connecting Loads, Switching on & Switching off
connecting Loads
1. Make sure that single load or the combined load requirement of your equipment does
not exceed the inverter's output rating.
2. Switch OFF the inverter.
3. Switch OFF the load.
4. Plug the cord(s) from the load(s) into the AC receptacle(s) of the inverter
5. Switch ON the inverter. Wait for a few seconds.
6. The GREEN LED indicator "Power" (6, Fig 3.1 to 3.3) will be lit to indicate that the inverter
is operating normally.
7. Switch ON the load(s).
Switching on
1. Switch OFF the load connected to the inverter. Avoid switching ON the inverter with load
in ON condition.
2. Switch ON the inverter, wait for a few seconds and then switch ON the load.
3. When using high capacitive loads with inadequate inrush current limiting like cheaper
quality of Compact Flourescent Lamps (CFL) etc., wait for 10 seconds before switching ON
such loads. If the inverter is switched ON with these types of loads in ON condition, the in-
verter may shut down or the loads may not switch ON. Sometimes, adding a small resisitive
load (like incandescent lamp) in parallel with such devices may prevent such shut down.
Switching off
1. Switch OFF the load connected to the inverter
2. Switch OFF the inverter. Please note that on switching OFF, the GREEN LED "Power"
(6, Fig. 3.1, 3.2, 3.3) will extinguish slowly.
remote control model Sam-rc (optional)
An optional wired Remote Control Model SAM-RC is available. It comes with 3M, RJ-45 cable. It
can be used to Switch ON and switch OFF the inverter and also displays the operational status of
the inverter using colored LEDs. Plug the Remote Control Modular Plug into the Modular Jack
(3 - Fig 3.1, 3.2, 3.3). See typical installation diagram at Fig 4.0, page 7. Refer to separate Owner's
Manual provided with the Remote for further details of the remote's operation.
!
caution!
note: For switching ON and switching OFF the inverter using optional Remote
Control SAM-RC, the main ON/OFF Switch on the inverter should be in OFF
position.
