OPERATION

On/Off/Charger Only Switch
For all operation as a battery back-up system the switch should be in the 'on' position, meaning the product is
fully functional, powering the pumps with through power during times of normal power supply, and inverter
power during a power outage. When mains power is not interrupted, the unit will charge the batteries also.
Charge states (see LED Indications on page 7 also)
Bulk - Heavy and fast charge for batteries that are very or fully depleted
Absorption - Final top up charge at a lower charge rate than Bulk
Float - Trickle charge for when batteries are fully charged to replace charge that is lost over time. This
ensures that the batteries are always fully charged
If the voltage at the "AC-in" terminal is not within specifications, during a power outage, for example, the
inverter will switch on, continuing power to the pumping system until the battery(s) is depleted
There is no need to switch the unit to "charger only" mode
