Configuration
Set Configuration DIP Switches
Using a small tool, set the Configuration DIP Switches (located on the front panel, see diagram) to optimize Inverter/Charger operation
depending on your application. RV612UL and RV612ULH models include one set of four DIP Switches. All other models include an additional set
of four DIP switches to configure additional operational functions. Refer to the appropriate section to review the instructions for your spe-
cific model.

Resetting Your Inverter/Charger to
Restore AC Power
Your Inverter/Charger may cease supplying AC power or DC charg-
ing 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 “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(s) on the unit's front panel. If tripped, remove some of the elec-
trical load, then wait one minute to allow components to cool before
resetting the circuit breaker. See Troubleshooting for other possible
reasons AC output may be absent.

* Most of your connected appliances and equipment will perform adequately when your Inverter/Charger’s High AC Input Voltage Point (DIPSwitch #2 of Group A) is set to 135V and its Low AC Voltage Input Point (DIPSwitches #3 and #4 of Group A or DIPSwitch #3 for
612 models) are set to 95V. However, if the unit frequently switches to battery power due to momentary high/low line voltage swings that would have little effect on equipment operation, you may wish to adjust these settings. By increasing the High AC Voltage Point and/or
decreasing the Low AC Voltage Point, you will reduce the number of times your unit switches to battery due to voltage swings.
