System Start-up Check
To test inverting and charging from the RS3000 front panel:
1. Disconnect AC power from inverter input by opening the breaker or
disconnect. Press the Inverter Enable button on the RS3000. The
Inverter On light illuminates.
2. Place a load on the inverter. For example, plug a 100 watt light bulb
into an outlet that the inverter is powering and make sure it works.
The inverter should run the load using battery power.
3. To test the charger, reconnect the AC input power to allow AC to the
AC input. The Charger On light should illuminate after a brief delay.
Any AC loads previously powered by the inverter will also work at
this time.
4. Remove the AC input power. The inverter/charger should transfer to
invert mode immediately. (The transfer relay will make a clicking
sound and the Inverter On light will illuminate.) Loads should
continue to operate uninterrupted.
If any part of this test fails, determine the cause before using the unit.
Consult the “Troubleshooting” chapter starting on page 4–1.
