    AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net 1. Important Safety Information NOTE! Before using the inverter charger, 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.
  • Page 5: Application

    This is for inverter mode only. You can NOT bypass the surge rating of the inverter. This may cause permanent damage to the inverter. The Global LF Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter is suitable for renewable energy systems in work trucks, RV, marine and emergency appliances.

    Overload Capacity The Global LF series inverters have high overload capacities, making it ideal to handle demanding loads. 1 For 110%<Load<125%(±10%), no audible alarm for 14 minutes, beeps 0.5s every 1s in the 15th minute, and Fault(Turn off) after the 15th minute.
  • Page 9: Ac Charger

    1. Unlike other inverters whose max charging current decreases according to the input AC voltage, the Global LF series inverter charger is able to output max current as long as the input AC voltage is in the range of 164-243VAC(95-127VAC for 120V model), and AC frequency is in the range of 48-54Hz(58- 64Hz for 60Hz model).

  • Page 12: Transfer

    AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net 2.5.3 Transfer Swift Power Transfer While in the Standby Mode, the AC input is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the VAC Trip voltage (140 VAC, default setting for 230VAC,90VAC for 120VAC), the inverter automatically transfers back to the Invert Mode with minimum interruption to your appliances - as long as the inverter is turned on.
  • Page 13: Protections

    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 has to 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.

    AIMS Power www.aimscorp.net 2.5.7 Remote Control In addition to the switch panel on the front (or top) of the inverter, there are two optional remotes. An LCD remote panel that provides more detailed info or an LED remote that provides on/off with a few LED indicators.

  • Page 17: Fan Operation

    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 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.
