BTS (Battery Temperature Sensor) Connection (optional):
To provide more accuracy and precision on battery voltage charging against battery temperature, a
BTS (sold separately) can be used. The BTS can also be used to terminate the charging cycle when it
senses the temperature of the battery rise to above 60 °C or fall below 0 °C. See ‘Understanding the
Error Code’ E19-E21 for more details. Use the following procedure to install the BTS.
• Connect the RJ12 end of the BTS cable to the BTS Port on the main unit.
• Install the ring terminal end of the BTS cable to the negative terminal of the battery bank.
Ignition Start Port Connection (optional):
The ignition start connection provides an inverter ON/OFF function through the Ignition Start Port. See
more details on Understanding of Ignition Start On/Off function.
Quick Test on Unit after Installation:
• Connect a small AC load like a 40W light bulb to the AC Output of the unit.
• Switch DC disconnect switch to ON to provide battery power to the unit, then press and hold On/Off
button on Main unit or ‘Power’ button on Display panel for 1 second to turn unit or Inverter ON
• The ‘Status’ LED on display will turn Amber indicating inverter is ON. AC Output indicator turns
green indicating the AC is available at the AC Output terminal of the unit.
• Verify the 40W light bulb is ON.
• Switch ON the Main Circuit Breaker on the AC Input Panel.
• Switch ON the AC Input Circuit Breaker that provides AC Input power to the unit.
• If AC input source is available, the ‘Status’ LED amber will flash for about 10 seconds indicating the
AC Input source is available. It will then turn to solid green or flashing green indicating the unit is
running from the AC input source.
• Verify the 40W light bulb remains ON.
• The unit is successfully installed and functioning properly.
GFCI Monthly Testing (120VAC 2000W/3000W model if available)
• For units equipped with GFCI, the GFCI function is required to be tested monthly.
• To test the GFCI, turn unit ON either in By-Pass mode or battery power mode. Plug a small AC
load (e.g. 40W light bulb) to the AC Output GFCI Socket.
• Check that the AC load is ON.
• Press the ‘TEST’ button to trip the GFCI protection. A clicking sound should be observed. Check
that the AC load is turned off. The unit will show the “E13” (“AC Output GFCI tripped”) error code
as long as the Load Sense (“LdS”) feature is set to Off.
• Press the ‘RESET’ button until hearing a click to reset the GFCI outlet.
• Check that the AC load is back ON again.
Note: Be aware that a tripped GFCI outlet cannot be reset with the unit operating in Battery Power Mode and
the Load Sense setting activated.
How to Reset the GFCI outlet when tripped (120VAC 2000W/3000W model if available):
When Utility AC Input Source is available:
• Unplug all the AC loads from the unit’s GFCI outlet.
• Press the ‘RESET’ button until hearing a click to reset the GFCI socket.
• Plug in the AC Loads and verify the AC Load is ON.
When Utility AC Input Source is not available:
• Unplug all the AC loads from the unit’s GFCI outlet.
• Turns unit On and be sure the unit is running in Battery Power Mode.
• Check / Set the Load Sense (“LdS”) setting to off.
• Press the ‘RESET’ button until hearing a click to reset the GFCI socket.
• Plug in the AC Loads and verify the AC Load is ON.
Note 1: Be aware that a tripped GFCI outlet can only be Reset when there is a continuous AC Input supplying to
the GFCI Socket.
