1. BYPASS REMOTE Bypasses the remote switch connection when no remote switch is SW connected a Setting ON remote switch connection terminals are bypassed factory setting z Setting OFF remote switch connection terminals are open A remote switch 4 must be connected and switched ON in order to activate the inverter The local on off switch on the frontpanel always overrides the remote switch So in order to use the remote switch the local on off switch must be in the on or auto standby ASB position 3 Automatic standby ASB mode When the inverter is not supplying power to an appliance for a longer time it is recommended to use the inverter in the Auto Standby ASB mode to heavily reduce the inverter s own power consumption In this case the power switch must be pushed in the II position In the ASB mode the inverter will generate a testpulse on it s output once per second to check if there is a load applied When a load is connected to the inverter output or switched on drawing more than approx 10W the inverter jumps to the continuous mode immediately delivering power to the load When the load is disconnected again or switched off after 4 seconds the inverter jumps back to the pulsed output ASB mode This way the inverter automatically jumps to a low power mode when there is no power demand on the output Note that some loads like TV video equipment with standby mode and alarm clock2.
