3.2 Service Button
The service button can be used to wake the LED display, and either put the system into or out of service mode, as
well as cycle through various operating modes.
IMPORTANT! In the event that the system has gone out of service, please consult your installer for
guidance. Depending on the nature of the service fault, your installer may advise you to reset the system
on your own, or schedule a service visit.
5 Backup Power Operation
This system will provide backup power to dedicated electrical circuits within the home via a permanently wired
electrical sub-panel, referred to as the backup panel. Backup power is limited in rating and duration, both of
which are dependent on the nature of the loads connected to the system, and the availability of the solar PV
supply. This system is designed to reliably provide power to a refrigerator, lighting, and small appliances.
NOTE: This product is not an uninterrupted power source (UPS). Following a utility outage, a four second
power interruption will occur before the backup power source commences. A portable UPS is
recommended for devices that require uninterrupted power.
IMPORTANT! Surge rated loads, ie) power tools, portable air conditioners, etc, may cause an overload
shutdown. Equipment of this type that is connected to the backup panel should be inspected and tested
regularly as per manufacturer suggested schedules. Permanent damage to the battery system and/or your
equipment may occur if exposed to chronic overloading cycles. The power output / surge rating will be further
limited when the battery is below 10% SOC.
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to connect a gas generator to the battery system. If generator support is
required, consult your installer regarding a separate manual transfer to your backup electrical panel.
