The GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter)
must be tested before each use. To
test:
1. Turn the inverter ON.
2. Push the "Reset" button located on
the GFCI receptacle, first to assure
normal GFCI operation.
3. Plug a nightlight (with an "ON/OFF"
switch) or other product (such as a
lamp) into the GFCI receptacle and
turn the product "ON."
4. Push the "Test" button located on
the GFCI receptacle. The nightlight
or other product should go "OFF."
5. Push the "Reset" button, again.
The light or other product should
go "ON" again.
noTe: If the light or other product
remains "ON" when the "Test" button
is pushed, the GFCI is not working
properly and should not be used. Call
Customer Service.
The PSI-2000 includes two, "GFCI "
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) out-
lets located on the right side of the
inverter. The purpose of a GFCI outlet
is to quickly stop the flow of electricity
in the event a ground fault occurs on the
device plugged into the inverter’s GFCI
outlet. Use only a 3-prong grounded
plug when using the GFCI outlet.
noTe: The GFCI outlet could have
been shipped in the “tripped” position.
It needs to be “reset” to ensure safe
electrical operation. The inverter needs
to be ON, connected to a power source
and a device plugged into the inverter to
reset. To reset: press the “TEST” button
(stops flow of electricity to outlet) on the
outlet face. Next, press the “RESET”
button (restores flow of electricity to
outlet) on the outlet face.
g. leDS AnD AUDIo AlArM
Green – Power On
Red Light and/or Audio Alarm
Current Overload – Red LED glows for
a short time and inverter shuts down.
Current load too high for inverter. Re-
duce current demand.
Voltage Overload – Red LED glows and
inverter shuts down. Voltage range of
15.5V ± 0.5V DC too high for inverter.
Voltage exceeding 16 volts may dam-
age the inverter. Reduce voltage range
to 12 volts to 14 volts.
Voltage Shortage – Alarm sounds
indicating voltage is getting low (10.5V
± 0.3V DC). Inverter shuts down and
red light glows when voltage falls be-
low 10.0V ± 0.3V DC. Inverter needs
voltage source between 12 volts and
14 volts.
Temperature Overload – Red LED
glows for a short time and inverter
shuts down. Provide ample ventilation
for inverter to restart.
Analogic Output Power Display - shows
AC continuous power consumed. Five
lights indicate half of the continuous
output power and ten lights indicate full
continuous power consumption. When
the inverter is OFF, no lights appear.
