Feature Identification

Identify the premium features on your specific model and quickly locate instructions on how to maximize their use.
1 Configuration DIP Switches: optimize Inverter/Charger
operation depending on your application. See pages 5-6 for
setting instructions.
Operating Mode Switch: controls Inverter/Charger operation.
2
The "AUTO/REMOTE" setting ensures your equipment
receives constant, uninterrupted AC power. It also enables the
Inverter/Charger to be remotely monitored and controlled with
an optional remote module (included). The "CHARGE
ONLY" setting allows your batteries to return to full charge
faster by turning the inverter off which halts battery discharging.
See page 4 for setting instructions.
Operation Indicator Lights: intuitive "traffic light" signals
3
show whether the Inverter/Charger is operating from AC line
power or DC battery power. It also warns you if the connected
equipment load is too high. See page 4 for instructions on
reading indicator lights.
Battery Indicator Lights: intuitive "traffic light" signals show
4
approximate charge level of your battery. See page 4 for instructions
on reading indicator lights.
5 DC Input Connection: EMS1012UL models feature a battery con-
nector wired into the unit which allows quick battery connec-
tion/disconnection when used with an additional quick battery
connector (included in the box) and user-supplied cables.
EMS1250UL models come with a cable/connector assembly for
use with the unit's DC input terminals. DC battery terminals for
use with user-supplied cables are located on the rear of
EMS1250UL models, and on the front only of EMS2012UL
models.
Hospital-Grade Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) AC
6
Receptacles (not on hardwire models): allow you to connect
equipment that would normally be plugged into a utility outlet.
Higher retention force helps reduce the risk of accidental dis-
connection. They feature ground fault interrupter switches that
trip if there is excessive current on the ground safety wire.

struction helps reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. See
page 10 for connection instructions.
Hardwire AC Input/Output Terminal Strip (not on corded
8
models): securely connects the Inverter/Charger to vehicle
electrical system. See page 10 for connection instructions.
Resettable Circuit Breakers: protect your Inverter/Charger
9
against damage due to overload. See page 4 for resetting instructions.
10 Remote Control Module Connector:
allows remote monitoring and control
with an included module. See remote
module owner's manual for connection
instructions.
Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Dial: conserves
11
battery power by setting the low-load level at which the
Inverter/Charger's inverter automatically shuts off. See page 6
for setting instructions.
Main Ground Lug: properly grounds the Inverter/Charger to
12
vehicle grounding system or to earth ground. See page 9 for
connection instructions. (On EMS1250UL models, the ground
lug is located on the front of the unit.)
Multi-Speed Cooling Fan: quiet, efficient fan prolongs equip-
13
ment service life.
Hardwire AC Input/Output Cover Plate
14
Battery Temperature Sensing Connector: prolongs battery life
15
by adjusting charge based on battery temperature. Use with cable
(included on select models). See Configuration section for details.
Automatic Generator Start Connector: automatically cycles
16
generator based on battery voltage. Use with user-supplied
cable. See Configuration section for details.
17
Ignition Interlock Control Jack (EMS1250UL only) : used to
connect the inverter/charger to the vehicle ignition switch. Disables
AC power output when the vehicle ignition switch is placed in the
"Engine Run" position. See p. 6 for connection instructions.
