Page 4: Important Safety Information
1. Important Safety Information NOTE: Before using the inverter, read and save this manual. 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. Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result. -
Page 5: Introduction
This helps to extract maximum power from the battery in renewable energy systems such as solar and wind. The Global LF Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter is suitable for renewable energy systems in work trucks, RV, marine and emergency appliances. -

The Global LF series inverter has a very rapid charge current available, and the max charge current can be adjusted from 15%-100% (based on model) via a liner switch to the right of the battery type selector. This will be helpful if you are using our powerful charger on a small capacity battery bank.
- Page 10 (determined by the Battery Type selection*). In this stage, the batteries are kept fully charged and ready if needed by the inverter. If the AC is reconnected or the battery voltage drops below 12Vdc/24Vdc, the charger will restart the above cycle.
- Page 11 Charging depleted batteries The Global LF series inverter allows a generator to start up and through power (bypass) after batteries are depleted. See top of page 10 for generator recommendation.
- Page 12 switch delay our inverter gives the generator enough time to spin up. This will depend on the size of the generator and rate of charge. Generally, the Bulk Charging Current should be limited to 20% of the capacity of the battery bank. Higher charging current may be used if permitted by the battery manufacturer.
- Page 13 Note: The minimum power of a load to take inverter out of sleep mode (Power Saver On) is 50 Watts for inverters 1000-3000 watts and 100 Watts for 4000-6000 watts. The Global LF Series is designed with extremely low idle power consumption, only a mere 0.8-1.8% of its rated power.

- Page 15 The inverter will go to over temp protection when the heat sink temp. ≥105ºC(221℉), and go to fault ( shutdown Output) after 30 seconds. The switch needs be reset to activate the inverter. The Global LF series inverter has back feeding protection which avoids presenting an AC voltage on the AC input terminal in inverter mode.

- Page 20 In order to make the inverter accept dirty power from a generator, put SW2 to position “1”, the inverter will bypass an AC input with a wider voltage and frequency (40-70Hz for 50Hz/60Hz). The AC charger will also work in a wider voltage and frequency range (42-68Hz for 50Hz/60Hz). As mentioned, this will avoid frequent switching between battery and generator, but the low-quality power may affect some sensitive loads.
- Page 21 It is better to shut everything off after low voltage trip than to leave your load on, due to the risk of fire. Conformal Coating AIMS Power's entire line of Global LF inverters have been processed with a conformal coating on the PCB, making it water, rust, and dust resistant as well as corrosion resistant.

Reducing RF interference To reduce the effect of radiated interference, twist the DC cables. To further reduce RF interference, shield the cables with sheathing /copper foil / braiding. Taping battery cables together to reduce inductance Do not keep the battery cables far apart. In case it is not convenient to twist the cables, keep them taped together to reduce their inductance. - Page 26 Do not loosen or touch the rear set screws on the terminal block.
