All wires should be copper conductors. 1.1 General Safety Precautions 1.1.1 Before installing and using the LP Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Charger, read the manual and cautionary markings on the Inverter/Charger enclosure. Be sure to read all instructions and cautionary markings for any equipment attached to this unit.
2.1 General Information Thank you for purchasing the LP Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Charger. The LP Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Charger is a transformer based inverter and battery charger with an unprecedented conversion efficiency of 90%. It features power factor corrected, sophisticated multi-stage charging control and pure sine wave output with high surge capability to meet power needs of all sorts of demanding loads without putting the equipment at risk.
95-127VAC, and AC freq. is in the range of 48-54Hz (58-64Hz for 60Hz model). The LP series pure sine wave inverter/charger has a very rapid charge current available, and the max charge current can be adjusted from 0%-100% via a liner switch on the DC side of the inverter. This will be helpful if this powerful charger apply charging on a small capacity battery bank.

Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com 2.4.3 Transfer While in the Standby Mode, the AC input is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the VAC Trip voltage (80VAC, default setting), 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.
(shutdown Output) after 30 seconds. After temp drops to 90ºC (194℉), the switch has to be reset to activate the inverter. The LP series Inverter has back feeding protection which avoids presenting an AC voltage on the AC input terminal in Invert mode.

Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com AC Input Range: 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. While for some resistive loads which work in a wide voltage range, the input AC range can be customized to 90-135V, this helps to power loads with the most AC input power without frequent switches to the battery bank.
Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com AC/Battery Priority: Our inverter is designed 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.
