in non-volatile memory and are preserved until changed—even if an inverter reset is
performed or if all power to the router or inverter is removed.

that revert back to default if all power to the inverter is lost. Refer to the owner’s
manual for the particular accessory to determine if any setting is affected.
Aux Relay LED Indicator
Figure 5-2, Aux Relay LED
5.1.6 Aux Relay LED Indicator
The yellow Aux LED indicator allows a visual indication of the
Aux Relay operation. The LED will be ON when the relay is
closed (energized), and will be OFF when the relay is open
(de-energized). See Figure 5-2.
What is the Aux Relay used for? The most common use
is to turn on an exhaust fan to eliminate your battery bank
gasses using the VDC start and stop settings. The Aux Relay
can also be used to control the coil of a current carrying relay.
How do I adjust the Aux Relay? The SETUP: 01F RTR
Aux Relay menu is used to determine the conditions (DC
volts, inverter fault, or battery SOC) at which the relay
automatically opens and closes.
