Operating in Invert Mode
Once the inverter/charger is installed, you can operate it in invert mode.
To operate in invert mode from the front panel:
1. Press the Inverter Enable button on the MS2000.
2. If external AC is present, the External AC light illuminates. If AC is present
and you want to run the inverter, remove AC so the inverter turns on.
Once the Inverter On light is on, the MS2000 inverter is ready to deliver AC
power to the loads.
◆ To operate the inverter with the System Control Panel, refer to Chapter 3,
“Configuration”.
Load Sense Mode
The Load Sense mode of the MS2000 reduces battery power consumption in order
to conserve battery charge.
When the inverter is enabled, the inverter/charger can be configured to search for
an acceptable AC load. (It does this when you enable (turn on) “Load Sense” on
the MS2000 Advanced Menu on the System Control Panel and set the load sense
power threshold “Sense Below.”)
When the load sense feature is disabled (turned off), the inverter is continuously
on. With load sense enabled,
the inverter output consists of pulses if the unit
doesn’t detect a load that meets the load sense parameters. When an acceptable
load is detected, the inverter output is turned on automatically and provides full
output power.
WARNING
Review the “Important Safety Instructions” on page vii before operating the
inverter/charger.
Important: If you are having problems with any of your loads, refer to
“Inverter Applications” on page 4–15.
