y Load indicator
The load indicate the load percentage comply with load VA or W(show the bigger value), the overload
label will flash when overload exist.
Battery Charger
y Inverter to Charger Transition
The internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay allow the unit to operate as either a
battery charger or inverter (but not both at the same time). The unit automatically becomes a
battery charger whenever AC power is supplied to its AC input. The unit’s AC input is internally
connected to the inverter’s AC output while in the battery charger mode.
y Charger Terminology
1. Constant Current Stage- During this charge cycle, the batteries are charged at a constant
current.
2. Constant Voltage Stage- During this charge cycle, the batteries are held at the constant
voltage (14.1V/battery AGM&GEL, 14.6v/battery FLOODED) and accept whatever current (less
than the current in CC stage) is required to maintain this voltage. This ensures fully charging.
3. Floating Stage- During this charge cycle, the batteries are held at the float voltage
(13.5V/battery).
If the A/C is reconnected, the charger will reset the cycle above.
If the charge maintains the float state for 21 days, the charger will reset the cycle.
Circuit Breaker
The unit contains one input circuit breakers located on the rear panel of the chassis, which close to
the AC input terminal block. The INPUT PROTECT circuit breaker protects the charger circuit and
bypass circuit. The circuit breaker will trig out once input over current. Reset the circuit breaker by
press the handspike.
