STATUS LEDs
Each Status LED performs two functions,
providing battery type selection and operation
status.

OPERATION

Operation Status

INVERT - Green LED
The INVERT push-button switch is located on
the front of the unit.

• When the LED is solid green, the unit is

in invert mode. This occurs by pressing the
INVERT switch (for three to five seconds).

• When the LED is blinking slowly (once

per second), the inverter is in standby with AC
power applied and the transfer switch engaged

• Press the INVERT switch again to turn

the inverter OFF.
CHARGE - Green LED

• The CHARGE push-button switch is

located on the front of the unit.
When external AC is applied to the AC input of
the unit, the charger automatically turns ON.
The CHARGE LED will be solid green.

• When the LED is blinking slowly, (once

per second) the charger is ready, but external
AC power is not available.

• Press the CHARGE switch again to turn

the charger OFF. The charger defaults to ON
when operating without a remote or with the
Remote Control Panel.

• When the LED is OFF, the charger has

been manually turned OFF. This can only be
accomplished while AC power is being supplied.
NOTE: When AC power is available, the default
setting for the charger is ON. If the unit was
manually turned OFF and AC power is inter-
rupted and becomes available again, the
charger will return to ON.
LOW BATTERY - Red LED

When the LED is OFF the battery voltage

is normal, between 10.5 and 15.0 volts DC.

• When the LED is solid red, it indicates a

battery warning condition, the battery voltage is
below 10.5 volts DC or above 15.0 volts DC.

• When the LED is blinking slowly (once

per second), a battery shutdown has occurred.
The voltage is either below 10.0 volts DC or
above 15.5 volts DC.

• When the LED is blinking rapidly (five

times per second), a potential problem in the
DC system has been detected. Check your
batteries, battery cables and DC loads.

OVERTEMP/OVERLOAD - Red LED

When the LED is OFF, operation is

normal.

• When the LED is red, there is an over

temp or overload condition. Check for
excessive loads or short circuit on the output
of the inverter. Correct the condition and restart
by pushing the INVERT switch.
