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 Software timer will measure the time from charger start until the battery charger reaches 0.3V below the boost voltage, then take this time as T0 and T0×10 = T1. Absorb Charging: This is the second charging stage and begins after the absorb voltage has been reached.

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 applications, different low voltage disconnection level is preferred. For example, for solar application, user intended to have less DOD (Depth of Discharge) to prolong the battery cycle life (mobile application, users intend to have more DOD to reduce battery capacity and on board weight).
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.
