Configuration

Set Configuration DIP Switches
Using a small tool, set the Configuration DIP Switches (located
on the front panel of your unit, see diagram) to optimize Inverter/
Charger operation depending on your application. Warning: Make
sure the unit is turned OFF before changing DIP Switch
settings.

5 Select Battery Charger Amp Setting
CAUTION: When switching to the High Charge Amp setting,
the user must ensure that the amp-hour capacity of
their battery system exceeds the amperage of the High
Charge Amp setting or the batteries may be damaged or
degraded.
6 Select Equalize Battery Charge - OPTIONAL
Switch this DIP switch to the down position for 3 seconds
to begin the process of equalizing the charge state of your
battery's cells by time-limited overcharge of all cells. This
can extend the useful life of certain types of batteries;
consult with your battery's manufacturer to determine if
your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge
equalization process is automatic; once started, it can
only be stopped by removing the input power.
7 8 Select AC Input Current Sharing—OPTIONAL
(APSX3024SW model only; APSX6048VRNET model operates in "Most Limiting" mode only)
Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or
generator when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the
same time as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-through utility power.

Note: The Inverter/Charger's default transfer time setting is
1 cycle, which provides optimal protection for standard loads
in areas with frequent outages. If you will use the Inverter/
Charger to support computers or other sensitive electronic
equipment loads, set the transfer time to ½ cycle (switch
#2 UP) to ensure uninterrupted operation when the Inverter/
Charger transfers to battery power.

Setting Procedure
• Move to "Equalize" (DOWN) postition for 3
seconds.
• Move to "Reset" (UP) postition and leave
it there. This is the factory default setting.
CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #6 in
the down position after beginning process.
Battery charge equalization should only
be performed in strict accordance with the
battery manufacturer's instructions and
specifications.
