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 'mains on' LED will light up and the charger commences charging. The 'bulk', 'absorption' or 'float' LEDs will light up,
depending on the charger mode.
If the voltage at the 'AC-in' terminal is rejected, the inverter will switch on.
When the switch is switched to 'charger only', only the battery charger of the ECOmulti will operate (if mains voltage is present). In this
mode input voltage 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 your batteries from running flat.
3.2 Remote control
Remote control is possible with a 3-way 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 and
PowerAssist in Section 2.
