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).

Standby Battery Charger

The Stand-By (SB) charger option features a three-stage automatic battery charger with AC
pass-through relay mounted on a PCB that can be field installed, includes an AC power
supply cord and circuit breaker, and enables transfer sensitivity, battery selection, and
depth of discharge.
Battery voltage is varied during the three stage battery charging process, as follows:
BULK -During this initial stage of charging, the Charge LED flashes about once each
second and the inverter charges at a constant current. This causes the battery voltage to
rise over time. When battery voltage reaches the bulk voltage setting (see
Configuration Options
for voltage settings), the charger begins the absorption stage of
charging.
ABSORPTION -During this phase, the charge current gradually reduces while the battery
voltage is held constant for two hours at the bulk voltage During the ABSORPTION stage,
the Charge LED flashes rapidly.
