  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! This booklet contains important instructions for Model TS Series that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the unit. General Precautions Before using this device, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (a) the device, (b) the batteries and (C) all appropriate sections of this instruction booklet.

  • Page 4: Controls And Indicators

    AC Input AC Output Controls and Indicators The TS Series front panel features a power switch, four LEDs, and a fan on some models. The back panel configuration varies depending upon options. Front Panel Controls The TS Series front panel controls and indicators include a momentary push-button Power switch, a red error status indicator, a yellow charger status indicator, a green power light, and a white battery status indicator.

  • Page 5: Installation

    Inv On/Off Switch Operation The momentary push-button switch on the front panel controls the operating mode of the inverter: Search: Push the Inv On/Off switch once to enable Search mode. The power lamp will flash slowly in this mode. When in Search mode, the inverter emits a pulse testing the output circuits for loads.

  • Page 6: User Configuration Options

    For Deep Discharge, the two pins must be connected by the jumper. Transfer Sensitivity (SB Option Only) The TS inverter can be configured to begin inverting whenever grid voltage falls to 95 volts RMS (UPS mode) or to delay transfer until line voltage falls to 80 volts RMS (Gen mode).
  • Page 7 Float Volts Battery Type (SB Option Only) The TS Series can charge either liquid lead-acid (flooded) batteries or sealed, gel or absorbed glass batteries. The difference is in the charge voltages. The unit comes from the factory pre-configured for sealed batteries. To change to flooded batteries, remove the jumper from the pin pair labeled Sealed/Flooded.

  • Page 8: Sealed Gel Cell

    Sealed Gel Cell Sealed gel cell batteries do not use battery caps because the electrolyte is in the form of a gel. This allows the batteries to be mounted in any position without spilling. Other advantages are: no maintenance, long life (800 cycles claimed) , and low self-discharge. The disadvantage is high initial cost and the possibility of damage from overcharging.

  • Page 9: Standby Battery Charger

    Remove plug and install circuit breaker connect black wires to circuit breaker Options Field-installed options for the TS Series include either a three-stage standby battery charger (SB option), a battery temperature sensor (BTS option), and a remote control (RC8 option).
