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.

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.
