William,
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.
Also, for anyone who ever needs service on old Hearts, keep this
in your files. Dave Gusdorf, Gusdorf Electronics, 505 983-4095,
http://www.manta.com/c/mmsjrqj/gusdorf-electronics, 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.

Hi William,
The Heart Interface HF12-2000
manual
states the idle draw is "about" 50VAC@ <100mA.
This equates to approx 5W.
Hope that helps,
Eric

Friends:
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.
The client reports generally lower
battery
voltages since the install. I am trying to figure out if it is
the
inverter or the TV.
Does anyone know the idle draw of the
HF
series inverter? This information would help me troubleshoot
this
problem.
Thanks in advance.
