WARNING: Shock Hazard and Equipment Damage
The inverter’s AC and DC covers must be removed to perform these tests. The components are
close together and carry hazardous voltages. Use appropriate care to avoid the risk of electric shock
or equipment damage.
It is highly recommended that all
applicable
steps be performed in the following order. However, if
steps are inapplicable, they can be omitted.

If the results of any step do not match the description, see the Operator’s Manual for troubleshooting.
Pre-startup Procedures
1. Ensure all DC and AC overcurrent devices are opened, disconnected, or turned off.
2. Double-check all wiring connections.
3. Confirm that the total load does not exceed the inverter’s rated power.
4. Inspect the work area to ensure tools or debris have not been left inside.
5. Using an accurate digital voltmeter (DVM), verify battery voltage. Confirm the voltage is correct
for the inverter model. Confirm the polarity.
6. Connect the system display, if present.
Startup
To start a single-inverter system:
1. Close the main DC circuit breakers from the battery bank to the inverter. Confirm that the
system display is operational, if present.
2. If a system display is present, perform all programming for all functions. These functions may
include AC input modes, AC output voltage, input current limits, battery charging, generator
starting, and others.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter. Excessive battery voltage also may damage the inverter. This
damage is not covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to programming (see
Startup
), verify the operating frequency of the AC source. This is necessary for
correct AC operation. The default setting is 60 Hz, but this can be changed to 50 Hz.
