Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com There are 3 main charging processes: Bulk Charging: Absorb Charging: Float Charging: De-sulphation The de-sulphation cycle on switch position 8 is marked in red because this is a very dangerous setting if you do not know what you are Battery type selector doing.
Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com Charging depleted batteries The SD Series inverter allows start up and through power with depleted batteries. For 12VDC model, after the battery voltage goes below 10V, if the switch is still(and always) kept in "ON" position, the inverter is always connected with battery, and the battery voltage doesn’t drop below 2V, the inverter will be able to charge the battery once qualified AC inputs.
Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com 3.5 Power Switch There are three different working statuses for SD inverter: “On”, “Off” and “Ready”. When power switch is in “Off” position, the inverter is powered off. When power switch is turned to “ON”, the inverter is powered on.
Ultimate Power www.upinverters.com 3.7 Remote Control Apart from the switch panel on the front of the inverter, an extra switch panel connected to the RJ45 port at the DC side of the inverter through a standard telephone cable can also control the operation of the inverter.
