3. OPERATION
3.1 On / Off / Charger-only Switch
When switched to 'on', the product is fully functional. The inverter will come into operation
and the LED 'inverter on' will light up.
An AC voltage connected to the 'AC in' terminal will be switched through to the 'AC out'
terminal, if within specifications. The inverter will switch off, the 'Charger' LED will light up
and the charger commences charging. If the voltage at the 'AC-in' terminal is not within
specifications, the inverter will switch on.
When the switch is switched to 'charger only', only the battery charger of the Multi will
operate (if mains voltage is present). In this mode input also is switched through to the 'AC
out' terminal.
NOTE: When only the charger function is required, ensure that the switch is switched to
'charger only'. This prevents the inverter from being switched on if the mains voltage is lost,
thus preventing the batteries from running flat.
3.2 Remote control
Remote control is possible with a 3 position switch or with a Multi Control panel.
The Multi Control panel has a simple rotary knob with which the maximum current of the AC
input can be set: see PowerControl in Section 2.
For the appropriate DIP switch settings, see sect. 5.5.1.
