Using the Remote On/Off Switch
To operate the inverter from the remote On/Off switch:
1. Turn on the inverter’s On/Off switch .
2. Press the touch control button on the remote switch to turn the
inverter on. The INVERTER ON indicator lights up.
Press the button again if you want to turn the inverter off. The
INVERTER ON indicator goes off.
Testing the GFCI-Protected AC Outlet
The AC outlet on the Prowatt 1000 is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) outlet. This protects you against hazardous electrical shocks that
could be caused by dampness, faulty mechanism, worn insulation, etc.
You might still feel shock, but the GFCI should cut it off quickly enough
so an adult in normal health is not seriously injured (infants and small
children may still be affected).
Test the GFCI periodically to make sure it is operating correctly.
To test the GFCI protection:
1. Turn the inverter on.
2. Plug a test lamp into the outlet.
3. Push the TEST button.
The RESET button should pop out and the power should turn off (the
lamp should go out). If the lamp remains lit, or if the RESET button
does not pop out, return the inverter to the place of purchase for
service.
If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset it and perform the preceding
test.
Note
: Leave this switch on during operation. Turning it off disables
the remote switch.
