Remote Switch (optional) Connection: 

 

Insert the Remote Switch to the RJ11 Remote Port located at the Front AC panel of the 
Power inverter. Please note polarity. 

 

Test the Power Inverter connection: 

 

Turn unit on by pressing and holding the On/Off button on the main unit for about a second 
until a beep sound occur

. The ‘Status’ light turns on indicating the Nature Power  Inverter is 

ON. Check the digital display show measured battery voltage and output power alternatively. 
Both AC output and 5V USB are now available.  

 

Plug in a small AC load like a 40W table lamp or small appliance to the AC socket to verify 
AC is available. If AC is not available, the GFCI may be tripped. Reset the GFCI by pressing 
the ‘RESET’ button. 

 

The unit is successfully installed and functioning properly. 

 
Test the GFCI monthly: 

 

Use the following instruction to perform a monthly test on the GFCI to ensure the GFCI is 
functioning properly. 

 

Turn unit on and plug a small AC load (40W light bulbs) to the GFCI.  

 

Check the AC load is ON.
