3. Press the TEST button on the GFCI outlet. The RESET button immediately
pop outs and the test lamp turns off. If this occurs, the GFCI accessory
has been properly installed and is operating correctly – proceed to Step 4.
If the above does not occur:
a) The RESET button does not pop out when the TEST button is pressed.
The GFCI outlet is not operating correctly, repeat Steps 3 and 4 of the
installation.
b) The RESET button pops out, but the test lamp does not turn off.
This indicates you need to either:
– check the blue AC HOT OUT wire and the white w/stripe AC NEUT
OUT wire to ensure they were not reversed during installation (repeat
installation Steps 3 & 4), or
– check the HOT IN and NEUT IN wires to ensure they are not re-
versed from the external AC power source
4. Apply an external AC power source (utility or generator) to the inverter’s
AC input and repeat Steps 2-3 above. This ensures the GFCI is operating
correctly when powered from an external AC power source.
Once the GFCI passes all tests, the installation is complete.

4.0 Operation
The GFCI outlets provide auxiliary power to 120V AC devices that require 20
amps or less. If you are using both GFCI outlets at once, the amperage can-
not exceed a total of 20 amps for both devices combined. Use only a 3-prong
grounded plug when using the GFCI outlets.
Because GFCI outlets can become damaged over time, they must be tested
monthly to ensure they are providing protection.
To clear a tripped GFCI:
1. Some faults are self-clearing, try resetting the GFCI outlet by pressing
the RESET button.
2. If the RESET button will not stay in, ensure the inverter is not in Search
mode*.
3. If the GFCI outlet continues to trip, the device is performing its intended
protection function; which means that a hazardous condition could exist.
A qualifi ed electrician should be called to evaluate the circuit.
* The RESET button will not reset if the inverter is “searching”. Use a remote
control to turn off the Search feature.
