Page 8: Electrical Performance
AIMS Power www.aimscorp.com 2.5 Electrical Performance 2.5.1 Inverter Topology The Global LF inverter/charger is built according to the following topology. Invert: Full Bridge Topology. Charge: Isolated Boost Topology High efficiency mosfets and 16bit, 4.9MHZ microprocessor and heavy duty transformers outputs PURE SINE WAVE AC with an average THD of 8% (min 3%, max 10%) depending of load connected and the battery voltage. - Page 9 AIMS Power www.aimscorp.com There are 3 charging stages: Bulk Charging: (fast charge LED solid) This is the initial stage of charging. While Bulk Charging, the charger supplies the battery with controlled constant current. The charger will remain in Bulk charge until the Absorption charge voltage (determined by the Battery Type selection) is achieved.

Page 11: Transfer
AIMS Power www.aimscorp.com 2.5.3 Transfer While in the Standby Mode, the AC input is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the VAC Trip voltage 90VAC for 120VAC, the inverter automatically transfers back to the Invert Mode with minimum interruption to your appliances - as long as the inverter is turned on. The transfer from Standby mode to Inverter mode occurs in approximately 10 milliseconds. -
Page 12: Protections
AIMS Power www.aimscorp.com Note: The minimum power of a load to take inverter out of sleep mode (Power Saver On) is 25 Watts. The Global LF Series is designed with extraordinarily low idle power consumption which is only a mere 2-3 % of its rated power. -

Page 17: Battery Temperature Sensing
AIMS Power www.aimscorp.com AC/Battery Priority(SW5): Our inverter is designed with AC priority by default. This means, when AC input is present, the battery will be charged first, and the inverter will transfer the input AC to power the load. Only when the AC input is stable for a continuous period of 15 days will the inverter start a battery inverting cycle to protect the battery. -
