Note that some loads like TV/video equipment (with standby mode) and alarm clocks
need continuous power so that the ASB mode can not be used. With some small non
compensated loads, it is possible that the inverter jumps from continuous output to
pulsed output and vice versa all the time. In this case you have to connect a small
additional load to the AC output.
IF THE INVERTER JUMPED INTO AN 'ERROR MODE' (SEE CHAPTER 3.1)
DUE TO AN OVERLOAD OR SHORT CIRCUIT, THE INVERTER WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RESTART AFTER ABOUT 18 SECONDS.
In case of an over temperature error, the inverter will automatically
restart after it has reached an acceptable temperature. Right before the
inverter will restart, it will warn you with a short two-tone beep (except
WARNING
PS200-xx models).
NEVER SERVICE THE AC CONNECTIONS WHEN THE INVERTER IS STILL
RUNNING IN AN ERROR MODE!
THE BUILD IN LARGE ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS CAN HOLD
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE
DISCONNECTED.
To avoid sparks or short inverter operation, it is advisable to switch on
the inverter for 10 seconds after battery disconnection, before you

transport the inverter.

3.1
The flash sequence table
Your Powersine inverter is equipped with a self diagnosis system, to inform you about the
cause of inverter shut down. To make this visible the red error/power LED on the
frontpanel of the inverter, can flash in four different sequences. The duration, or
timeperiod, of this sequence is about 1 second. During this timeperiod the red LED can
flash four times in a row at most. The number of flashes in this time period indicates the
cause of inverter shut down.
