LED Indicator Guide

The router provides the following LEDs (along with the LCD display) to assist you in determining

the operating status of your inverter/charger.

Table 5-1, LED Indicator Guide

LED

Status

Meaning

PWR

(green)

OFF

1. Inverter is disabled; 2. Router’s in Power Save mode – press any

button to activate LEDs; 3. No power to router (check router cable or

power to inverter); or, 4. No AC power at the inverter’s AC output.

ON

AC power is available from inverter, utility, or generator at the

inverter’s AC output terminals.

FAULT

(red)

OFF

Normal operation – no fault condition.

ON

A fault condition has been detected. Check the LCD display to fi nd

and correct the cause.

CHG

(green)

OFF

1. Router is in Power Save mode – press any button to activate

LEDs; or, 2. Charger off – no utility or AC generator present.

ON

In Charge mode – see the LCD display to determine charge status.

BLINKING, displays

Charger Standby

The charger is in Charger Standby mode. This occurs when the ON/

OFF CHARGER button is pressed to disable the charger.

BLINKING, displays

Full Charge” or

Silent

The charger is in Battery Saver mode. This mode monitors battery

voltage level and only charges if the battery voltage decreases to

a low level. Silent mode will automatically start charging when the

ReBulk setting is reached.

BLINKING, displays

“Max Charge Time”

This indicates that the Max Charge Time safety feature has been

enabled causing the charger to enter the Float or Silent charge mode

to prevent the charger from holding the batteries at a high voltage

for a prolonged period of time.

Note: To reset the green CHG LED and the Max Charge Time display,

either reconnect the AC input and start the “Charging” status, or

start another Bulk, EQ, or Constant Current charge cycle.

BLINKING, displays

“Reminder to EQ”

This is provided as a reminder that it is time to equalize the batteries.

The CHG indicator comes on when the SETUP: 03G Days to Remind

when to EQ setting has been enabled and the # of days has been

exceeded. Note: To reset the green CHG LED and the EQ Reminder

display, start an EQ charge.

BLINKING, display

shows a charging

status (i.e., Bulk,

Absorb, Float)

The charger current is automatically decreased because: 1) Charger

Back-off – the inverter’s internal temperature is getting hot, current

is decreased to reduce/maintain temperature; or, 2) Low AC Input

Voltage – the input AC voltage is <85 VAC, charger is disabled to

help stabilize incoming AC voltage to prevent AC disconnect.

BLINKING, with

no charge status

The inverter is detecting AC voltage (from utility or an AC generator)

on the inverter’s AC input terminals.

INV

(green)

OFF

1) Inverter is disabled; or, 2) Router is in Power Save mode – press any

button to activate LEDs.

ON

Inverter is enabled – 1) Supplying AC power on the output; or, 2) If

both INV and CHG LEDs are on, then the inverter input is connected

to utility or generator power and is in Standby mode. The inverter will

automatically power the AC loads if the incoming AC power is lost.

BLINKING

Inverter is in Search mode (the AC load is below the SETUP button’s

02A Search Watts setting).
