* Most of your connected appliances and equipment will perform adequately when your Inverter/Charger's High AC Input Voltage Point (DIP Switch #2 of Group A) is set to 135V and its Low AC Voltage Input Point (DIP Switches #3 and #4 of Group A or DIP Switch #3 for

612 models) are set to 95V. However, if the unit frequently switches to battery power due to momentary high/low line voltage swings that would have little effect on equipment operation, you may wish to adjust these settings. By increasing the High AC Voltage Point and/or

decreasing the Low AC Voltage Point, you will reduce the number of times your unit switches to battery due to voltage swings.

Select Load Sharing—OPTIONAL (Not on 612 Models)

Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or

generator when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the

same time as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-through utility power.

To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, all RV Inverter/Chargers (except models RV612UL and RV612ULH) may be set to automatically limit

the charger output. This keeps the sum of the unit's AC load and charge power within the circuit breaker rating. This charger-limiting func-

tion has four settings, allowing you to reduce the charger's draw lower and lower, as needed, if the AC input circuit breaker keeps tripping

under the normal AC loads of devices you have connected downline from the unit. The figures show how to set your DIP Switches to deter-

mine how heavy the connected load can be on your Inverter/Charger before charger-limiting begins.

All Models, except RV612UL & RV612ULH*

Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points—OPTIONAL

(Not on 612 Models)

"Most Limiting" (#B2 & #B1 Up):

Charger-limiting takes effect the moment

any 120V AC load is applied; charger out-

put falls gradually from full output at no

120V load passing through to no output at

full load.

"Less Limiting" (#B2 Up & #B1 Down,

factory setting for RV1012UL models):

Charger-limiting

begins

Inverter/Charger's load reaches 33% of the

Inverter/Charger's load rating. Charger

output falls gradually from full output at 33% of the

Inverter/Charger's load rating to about 40% of full output at full load.

* NOTE! RV612UL & RV612ULH models do not include these DIP Switches. There are only two limiting points available for RV1012UL models—"Most Limiting" and "Less Limiting"—which

are determined solely by the position of the B1 DIP Switch (either up or down). The B2 DIP Switch on these models has no effect.
