• When set to Individual Battery Voltage Mode, if individual battery voltage is lost, the unit automatically
reverts back to Battery String Voltage Mode and "Low Battery Cutoff” (EOD) will revert back to default
value based on battery type.

• When acceptable AC line voltage returns, the Power Supply returns to AC line operation after a 10
to 20 second lag. This delay lets the AC line voltage and frequency stabilize before the control logic
phase-locks the inverter’s output to the utility input. The control logic then de-energizes the isolation
relay, reconnects the AC line to the primary of the ferroresonant transformer and disables (turns off)
the inverter. This results in a smooth, in-phase transfer back to utility power without interruption of
service to the load. The battery charging circuit then activates to recharge the batteries in preparation
for the next power outage.

If a battery type other than an AlphaCell is installed, it is the responsibility of the technician to review the proper
charging specifications for the battery used.
