104.  Final Installation Checklist

104.1  Pre-Start-Up Systems Check

Complete the following:

•  Ensure the LiteGear Inverter cabinet is securely fastened to a wall or other structure.
•  Ensure that the input circuit breaker in the building service panel serving as the AC disconnect to the LiteGear  
  system is in the OFF position. 
•  Check for proper ground connections in the LiteGear cabinet, the building service panel, and the external load 
  distribution panel. 
•  Check for any loose wiring connections in the LiteGear cabinet, the building service panel, and the external load  
  distribution panel. 
•  Check that correct nominal battery voltage (12 VDC) is present in the LiteGear cabinet between the battery NEG 
  and POS wires.  
•  Securely fasten cover and ensure no wires are pinched.

105.  System Start-Up Procedure

105.1  Sequence of Steps 

The LiteGear inverter system is a sophisticated electronic backup power supply. Care must be taken to follow the 
steps below in their exact sequence. Failure to do so can result in possible equipment damage or failure. 

105.2  Start-Up Procedure Steps

CAUTION:

 Familiarize yourself with the shut down procedure (section 300.1) before proceeding. 

•  Make sure the cover is installed and secured. 
•  At the building service panel, energize the circuit breaker serving as the AC disconnect to the LiteGear system. 
•  The system should turn “ON”; the green “AC-ON” LED will illuminate. 

106.  System Verification

106.1  Initial System Status

The connected load should be energized and the “AC ON” LED should be illuminated (green). Allow a minimum 
24-hour charge period before testing the inverter system. If you need assistance, call Dual-Lite’s Technical Support 
Center at 1-800-848-6439. 

106.2  System Transfer Test

Press the momentary “TEST” switch or, for a prolonged discharge test, de-energize the service panel circuit breaker 
serving as AC input circuit breaker. The unit will transfer to inverter mode, the "AC On" LED will extinguish and the 
"Inverter ON" LED will illuminate (amber). All connected loads should be energized. 

Allow the inverter to run for several minutes or until satisfied with its operation. Energize the service panel breaker to 
end the prolonged discharge test and return the unit to standby mode.
