AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net Overload Capacity The Global LF series inverters have high overload capacities, making it ideal to handle demanding loads. 1 For 110%<Load<125%(±10%), no audible alarm for 14 minutes, beeps 0.5s every 1s in the 15th minute, and Fault (Turn off) after the 15th minute. - Page 9 AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net Battery Type selection*). In this stage, the batteries are kept fully charged and ready if needed by the inverter. If the A/C is reconnected or the battery voltage drops below 12Vdc/24Vdc, the charger will restart the above cycle.
- Page 10 AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net The de-sulphation cycle, switch position 8, is marked in red because this is a very dangerous setting if you do not know what you are doing. Before attempting to use this cycle you must clearly understand what it does and when and how you would use it.

Page 11: Transfer
AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net 2.5.3 Transfer Swift Power Transfer While in the Standby Mode, the AC input of the inverter is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the low AC voltage trip voltage (90VAC default setting for 120VAC), the inverter automatically transfers back to the Invert Mode with minimum power interruption to your appliances - as long as the inverter is turned on. -

AC Input Range (SW2): There are different acceptable AC input ranges for different kinds of loads. For some relatively sensitive electronic devices, a narrow input range of 100-135V is required to protect them.

AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net Note: In battery priority mode, when qualified AC inputs for the first time and the battery voltage is below 12.5Vdc (12.5Vdc for 12Vdc, 25Vdc for 24Vdc, 51Vdc for 48Vdc), the inverter will go into battery priority mode only after a cycle of bulk charging and absorb charging is finished. The inverter will not go into float charging mode. -

Page 22: Ac Wiring
AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net 3.4 AC Wiring The AC terminal is rated for wires of 8 AWG to 20 AWG, we recommend using 10 to 8 AWG wire to connect to the ac terminal block. When in AC mode the AC input power will supply both the loads and AC charger, a thicker wire gauge for AC input is required. - Page 23 AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net All single phase 120Vac inverters are equipped with automatic neutral-to-ground switching. These inverters use an internal relay that automatically connects the AC neutral output to the vehicle/boat’s safety ground (“bonding” it) in Inverter Mode and disconnects it (“un-bonding” it) when they have connected to a qualified external AC source.
