Continuous, three-minute, ten-second and 30-cycle limits are separate operating ratings; the short-duration values are not continuous output ratings. Apply both the input-voltage and ambient-temperature limits.
DC Input and Efficiency
| Nominal DC input voltage |

Efficiency, AC regulation and THD use a 600 W linear test load and 12.5 VDC input. Unless otherwise specified, other parameters are measured at rated load, 25°C ambient and factory settings.
Saving mode is disabled by default. When enabled, automatic load detection changes to saving mode at an AC load of 10 W or less.

| Overtemperature recovery |
Output voltage shuts down; re-power on to recover |
Low-voltage disconnection helps prevent excessive battery discharge. Keep the input polarity and battery operating range within the model requirements.
DIP Switches and Remote Control
| SW1 / SW2 voltage selection |
OFF/OFF: 200 VAC; OFF/ON: 220 VAC; ON/OFF: 230 VAC; ON/ON: 240 VAC |
| SW3 frequency selection |
ON: 50 Hz; OFF: 60 Hz |
| SW4 saving-mode selection |
ON: saving mode; OFF: non-saving mode |
| Dry-contact remote ON/OFF |
Open contact: inverter ON; shorted contact: inverter OFF |
The dry-contact connection uses the two remote-control pins. It is distinct from any serial communication interface.
Indicators and Diagnostics
| Status indicator |
Flashing green: system check; steady green: inverter OK; steady orange: remote OFF; flashing orange: saving mode; red: abnormal status |
| DC input indicator |
Green: 12.5–15.5 VDC; orange: 11–12.5 VDC; red: below 11 or above 15.5 VDC |
| Load indicator |
Green: below 40%; orange: 40–80%; red: above 80% load |
With steady red Status: flashing Load and DC Input OFF indicates overload or an AC short; flashing DC Input and Load OFF indicates abnormal DC voltage; both DC Input and Load flashing indicate overtemperature or fan-lock status. Flashing Status with both other indicators OFF indicates inverter failure.
