Changing the Idle Mode Setting

The Idle mode setting determines the size of AC load that is
needed to wake the inverter from its Idle (or standby) mode.

The settings are 0 W, 4 W, 6 W, and 15 W. The default is 4 W.

If you set the Idle mode to 0 W, Idle mode is actually
defeated and the inverter stays on all the time. When the
inverter is on, it draws approximately 0.5 amps. This setting
is useful if you want to ensure uninterrupted power to a very
small load like an electric clock.

The other three settings let you conserve battery power
because the inverter stays off until an adequate-sized load
brings the inverter out of Idle mode.

To change the Idle mode setting:

1. Press and hold

SET

until

SEL appears.

2. Press the

/

IDLE

MODE

button. The present value

appears.

3. Press and hold

until the display scrolls through the

other values.

4. Release

SET

when the value you want appears.

Note: The

INVERT

button LED must be on before you can

change the Idle mode setting.
