Terminals, Ports, and Features
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The inverter’s AC output is defaulted to ON from the factory. It will deliver 230 Vac as soon as DC power is 
connected. 
INVERTER ON/OFF: Connects wires for a manual 
on/off switch to control the inverter. The jumper 
alongside (JP1) disables these terminals when 
installed (factory default). In this state, the inverter is 
always ON and can only be controlled by the system 
display. See page 23 for instructions. 
DC TERMINALS: Connect to battery 
cables and DC system. See page 19 for 
instructions. 
DC and AC GROUND 
TERMINALS: Connect to 
grounding system for both 
batteries and AC. See page 18 
for instructions. 
CONTROL WIRING TERMINAL BLOCK: 
Connects control wires for a variety of 
functions, including automatic generator 
starting. See pages 24 and 25 for 
instructions and the International Series GFX 
Operator’s Manual for more information. 
The Terminal Block can be unplugged from the 
AC board for convenience. While installed, 
keep screws tight and the block itself secured 
tightly to the AC board to prevent malfunction. 
XCT+/XCT- : 
Non-operational 
terminals. Do not 
connect anything 
to them. 
MATE and RTS PORTS: 
Connect the RJ45 and 
RJ11 plugs from the 
system display and 
Remote Temp Sensor. See 
page 23 for instructions. 
The jacks are mounted 
sideways. When viewed 
from the left side, they 
appear as shown below. 
AC TERMINAL BLOCK: 
Connects AC input and 
output wires. See page 21 
for instructions.
LED INDICATORS: Display the unit status and battery voltage. The 
Operator’s Manual contains extensive descriptions of the LED functions. 
¾ The three BATTERY LEDs (green, yellow, and red) are based on DC
voltage, and provide a very general idea of battery state.
¾ The green INVERTER LED tells if the inverting function is on. 
¾ The yellow AC IN LED tells if an AC source is present. 
¾ The red ERROR LED indicates either a Warning or an Error. A Warning 
is an alert for a problem that is not severe enough for shutdown. An 
Error usually accompanies inverter shutdown. See the Operator’s 
Manual for more information. 
AUX OUTPUT (AUX+/AUX-): Delivers 12 Vdc up 
to 0.7 amps (8.4 watts). The output can be 
switched on and off for many functions. The 
default function is to drive a cooling fan. See page 
24 for details. See the system display manual for 
programming instructions. 
 
AUX LED INDICATOR: Amber LED turns on when 
12 Vdc output is present.
