Switching on a Kodak OG 5.48kw inverter

[Herbie.]

Good day. I bought a used Kodak inverter. Is there any way how I can switch it on and see the settings. It is not connected to solar or a batt. I tried 220v on the inverter input but nothing. 

Thank you.

you must connect the battery not  AC 220v. this is how inverter works

Thank you, if I'v got a faulty non working batt?

it won't work. inverter needs a 48V DC current in order to work

Thanks

Hello,
You should be able to power the inverter off of just AC in. Last I checked, in order to change some settings, Kodak specifically states to ONLY power the inverter off of AC in.

The 5.5 might be different, but both the 3.6 and 7.2 work like this.

Thanks but I don't understand. Is it ON or Off. I checked mine not switching ON with only "Acc in" but it did switch On with only the batt connected. I understand if you said ON. How can I set the max charging current if I have to connect it to the batt that it does not damage the batt, switch the Acc in, pvc in, and Acc out Off and do all the settings before switching the rest on.

If your unit does not turn on with only AC in, then, yes, you should:

- Connect batteries (ONLY)
- Change settings
- Connect PV / Utility
