Operation (continued) Resetting Your Inverter/Charger to Restore AC Power Your Inverter/Charger may cease supplying AC power or DC charging power in order to protect itself from overload or to protect your electrical system. To restore normal functioning: Overload Reset: Switch operating mode switch to "DC OFF" and remove some of the connected electrical load (ie: turn off some of the AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload of the unit). Wait one minute, then switch operating mode switch back to either "AUTO/REMOTE" or "CHARGE ONLY." Output Circuit Breaker Reset: Alternatively, check output circuit breaker on the unit's front panel. If tripped, remove a portion of the electrical load, wait one minute to allow components to cool, then reset the circuit breaker. See the Troubleshooting section for additional possible reasons why AC output may be absent.
