no Load Draw (idle current)
When the oN/off switch is turned on, all the circuitry inside the inverter becomes alive
and the AC output is made available. In this condition, even when no load is being sup-
plied (or, if a load is connected but has been switched off), the inverter draws a small
amount of current from the batteries to keep the circuitry alive and ready to deliver
the required power on demand. This is called the "idle current" or the "no load draw".
Hence, when the load is not required to be operated, turn off the oN/off switch on
the inverter to prevent unnecessary current drain from the battery.
i
inFo
When the inverter is turned off using the optional Remote Control RC-15A,
some control circuitry in the inverter is still alive and will draw very low current.
Therefore, to prevent any drain from the battery, switch off the inverter from
the oN/off switch provided on the front panel of the inverter.
