Amps Meter and Overload Indicator
Amps Meter:
The amps meter indicates the current drawn from the battery. It will not indicate
the current drawn by other loads also connected to the battery. For long term
operation, the amps meter should remain in the green sections of the bar graph.
Current Overload:
The meter will enter the red section of the bar graph, the alarm will sound, the
overload indicator light will turn On, then the inverter will shutdown. The inverter
will continue to check for appropriate current levels while trying to restart the load.
NOTE A momentary sound of the internal alarm and/or flash
of the indicators or meters is normal at start up.
