Operation
(continued)
Resetting Your Inverter/Charger to Restore AC Power
Your Inverter/Charger may cease supplying AC power or DC charging power in order to protect itself from overload or to protect your
electrical system. To restore normal functioning:
Overload Reset: Switch operating mode switch to “DC OFF” and remove some of the connected electrical load (i.e., turn off some of the
AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload of the unit). Wait one minute, then switch operating mode switch back to
either “AUTO/REMOTE” or “CHARGE ONLY.”
Output Circuit Breaker Reset: If tripped, remove a portion of the load, wait one minute and then press breaker button to reset.

* Most of your connected appliances and equipment will perform adequately when your
Inverter/Charger's Low AC Voltage Input Point (DIP Switch #3 and #4 of Group A) are set
to Level B (95V for 120V Models/182V for 230V Models). However, if the unit frequently
switches to battery power due to momentary low line voltage swings that would have little
effect on equipment operation, you may wish to adjust this setting. By decreasing the Low
AC Voltage Input Point, you will reduce the number of times that your unit switches to
battery due to voltage swings.
Select Battery Type—REQUIRED
CAUTION: The Battery Type DIP Switch setting must match
the type of batteries you connect, or your batteries may be
degraded or damaged over an extended period of time. See
"Battery Selection" section for more information.

If you are connecting your unit to
batteries with a separate charger, you may
set this switch to INHIBIT to disable its
built-in charger to prevent overcharging.
