Eric's specs include "50VAC..." - that has a specific relevance.
The old Hearts used a different search structure, in that the AC
output measures around 50 VAC in search mode. If you're
troubleshooting and don't know this, you'll think there's
something wrong with the inverter.<br>
<br>
Also, for anyone who ever needs service on old Hearts, keep this
in your files. Dave Gusdorf, Gusdorf Electronics, 505 983-4095,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.manta.com/c/mmsjrqj/gusdorf-electronics">http://www.manta.com/c/mmsjrqj/gusdorf-electronics</a>, is
semi-retired but still works on Hearts. At one time years ago he
was the sole service center for the older discontinued series.
He's an old-school master who can design and build circuits if
needed, and very honest and reasonable. Windy got him started on
Heart inverters back in the 1980s.<br>

<font face="Arial" size="3">I have a client with 28 year old
batteries.
They are in great shape with excellent specific gravity. I
have no idea why they have lasted so long. We recently pulled
an
old Heart HF series inverter and installed an Outback VFX3524
inverter.
Coincidentally the client purchased a new flat screen TV and
satellite
receiver.</font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="3"> </font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="3">The client reports generally lower
battery
voltages since the install. I am trying to figure out if it is
the
inverter or the TV.</font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="3"> </font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="3">Does anyone know the idle draw of the
HF
series inverter? This information would help me troubleshoot
this
problem.</font>
<br>
