why does the red reset button on my (model aps 1000 12) serial (081510008) at the top left has to be pushed apprx every 24 hours.....the battery voltage is reading 11.5 at the time I reset the little red button.....it has been excessively hot the last few days
Important Safety Information í ! wb L b Dﱡ This manual contains important instructions for APS1000-12 & APS2000-24 models that shall be followed during installation and maintenance of the inverters. General Safety Precautions Before installing and using the inverter/charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the inverter/charger and all appropriate sections of this guide.
6. Prepare enough fresh water and soap in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. 7. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries. 8. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eyes, immediately flood in cold water and get medical attention immediately.
Auto sense 50HZ/60HZ The following illustration shows basic application for this inverter. It also includes following devices to have a complete running system: Generator or Utility.

Battery Connection CAUTION: For safety and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current protector between battery and inverter. DO NOT bypass the over-current breaker that’s installed between inverter and batteries. Doing so, will increase the risk of fire and possible harm to persons.

Please follow steps below in case battery cables need to be replaced: 1. Install battery ring terminals on recommended cable and terminal size. 2. Connect battery pack as unit requires. APS1000-12 must have batteries connected in parallel, and the APS2000-24 in series.

Please follow these steps to connect inverter to Load/Grid: 1. Before making Load/Grid connection, be sure to open DC protector/breaker first. 2. Strip each individual wire/conductor about 3/8”. 3. Connect grid wires according to polarity indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal screws.
Auto generator start (AGS) There is an extra connector in front of the inverter (Relay 2) used to start a generator or to trigger a gate operator to open the gate before battery runs out of power. If the utility power is abnormal and single battery discharges below 11VDC, the inverter will send out a signal to either a generator start circuit or to a gate operator to trigger the gate to open.
Utility priority Battery priority For APS1000-12, the low battery trip volt is set at 11.0VDC for sealed lead acid battery. It can be changed to 10.5VDC using Sw1 for deep cycle lead acid battery, this is to prevent batteries from over-discharging while there is only a small load applied on the inverter. (*2 for APS2000-24) There are different acceptable AC voltage input ranges for different kinds of loads.
