the load is disconnected again (or switched off), the indicator LED starts flashing again
after 4 seconds, and the inverter jumps back to the pulsed output ASB mode. This way
the inverter automatically jumps to a low power 'sleep' mode when there is no power
demand on the output.
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 overtemperature 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 PS200-xx
models).
WARNING
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
WARNING
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.
