READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, includ- ing the following: READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: • Do not use outdoors. • Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces. •...
102. Receiving, Moving and Storing Systems and Batteries 102.1 Shipping Damage Inverter system batteries are shipped separately. Carefully inspect all cartons upon receipt for evidence of shipping damage. Notify carrier immediately of leaking or damaged cartons for possible concealed damage. 102.2 Temporary Storage of Units and Batteries For temporary storage of LPS inverter systems and batteries prior to installation, select a clean, cool, dry location with normal ventilation for human habitation and level floors.
104.2 Mounting Hardware Mounting hardware is not provided. Care should be taken when selecting mounting hardware to as- sure that it is the proper type for the application and sized to safely support the systems full weight when installed assuring safe and secure attachment of system to wall surface or building structures. For ease of installation, the factory recommends that the head size of mounting screws or bolts be small enough to pass through the keyhole knockouts provided for mounting.
105.1 AC Wiring Preparations 1. Remove the system’s front cover. 2. Make sure the LPS inverter system input and output voltages are correct for the particular appli- cation. Remember that the LPS system provides single-phase power only. 3. The input circuit breaker in the input service panel provides the means for disconnecting AC to the LPS inverter system.

106. Battery Information Important Safety Precautions The installer must take these precautions: 1) Wear protective clothing, eye-wear, rubber gloves and boots. Batteries contain corrosive acids or caustic alkalis and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated. Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewelry.
106.2 Battery Installation and Connection Battery Placement: The LPS-750, LPS-950, and LPS-1150 models are all provided with (2) parallel battery strings. The 1st string is located in the upper battery compartment, the 2nd string is located in the lower battery compartment. Batteries should be carefully placed in the battery compartments with the positive (+) red terminals facing upwards and outwards.
106.3 Battery Voltage Check Using a digital volt-ohm meter, check for correct nominal battery voltage between DC Input NEG and POS wires. Voltage reading should be ±10% of system’s nominal 48Vdc for LPS-750, 60Vdc for LPS-950 operating voltage or 72Vdc for LPS-1150 operating voltage. 107.
108. System Start-Up Procedure IMPORTANT: The LPS inverter system is a sophisticated electronic backup power supply. Care must be taken to follow the steps below in their exact sequence. Failure to do so may result in possible equipment failure. CAUTION: Familiarize yourself with the shut down procedure in Section 200.1 before proceed- ing with the LPS system Start Up.
110.1 Self-Test/Diagnostic Functions The self-diagnostic function is factory preset and performs the following: A) Continuous monitoring of battery, battery charger and connected loads. B) Self-testing and a (30) second discharge with a randomized start (per UL 924, Sec. 30.2), once every (30) days, after normal utility power has been supplied for a minimum of (48) hours.
200.2 Routine System Maintenance The LPS inverter system unit is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. The unit does re- quire some routine attention to assure peak performance. The Manufacturer recommends a Preven- tative Maintenance check be performed by a qualified service technician at least every six months. The technician must observe important safety precautions while performing the following recommend- ed tasks: •...
