Sun Gold Power Co.,Ltd www.sungoldpower.com 1. Important Safety Information WARNING! Before using the Inverter, you need to read and save the safety instructions. 1-1. General Safety Precautions 1-1-1.Do not expose the Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
2. Introduction 2-1. General Information APV Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter is a combination of an inverter, battery charger and AC auto-transfer switch into one complete system with a peak conversion efficiency of 88%. It is packed with unique features and it is one of the most advanced inverter/chargers in the market today.
2.5.2 AC Charger APV Series is equipped with an active PFC (Power Factor Corrected) multistage battery charger. The PFC feature is used to control the amount of power used to charge the batteries in order to obtain a power factor as close as possible to 1.

Sun Gold Power Co.,Ltd www.sungoldpower.com For 12VDC model, after the battery voltage goes below 10V, if the switch is still (and always) kept in "ON" position, the inverter is always connected with battery, and the battery voltage doesn’t drop below 2V, the inverter will be able to charge the battery once qualified AC inputs are present.
Sun Gold Power Co.,Ltd www.sungoldpower.com equipment powered up. There is a 15-second delay from the time the inverter senses that continuously qualified AC is present at the input terminals to when the transfer is made. This delay is built in to provide time for a generator to spin-up to a stable voltage and avoid relay chattering.
