3.0 Installation AC Wiring (continued) Table 3-5 is provided as a guide to help determine the minimum AC wire size needed and may be different based on your particular installation. AC wire sizes provided in Table 3-5 are from the NEC and assume the use of conduits, using copper wire, and with a temperature rating of 75 °C or higher.

3.0 Installation Generators (continued) Basic 120 Vac Utility/Generator Hookup If a generator is used as a backup for the utility, then an AC transfer switch must be added to provide a means to switch the generator power to the inverter’s inputs.
3.0 Installation Remote Monitoring The UX inverter/charger can be controlled remotely by installing an RC8 Remote Control. See Figure 3-16 below for the location of the RC8 Remote Control port on the UX inverter/charger. See the RC8 Remote Control Installation Guide for specific installation instructions for installing the RC8 remote control.
4.0 Operation This section describes the operation of the UX Series inverter/charger. The controls on the inverter are very straightforward. Control Panel The figure below shows the control panel, located on the left side (AC end) of the inverter. Standby Charger Status LED Status Light Power: Push Shows yellow when charging...
4.0 Operation Control Panel (continued) Power ON/OFF Button This button turns the inverter on and off: on initial power up, after connecting the batteries, press it twice. The ON/OFF button also resets the inverter in the event it shuts down completely due to a fault condition. To reset the unit after a fault condition, press the ON/OFF button only one time.
4.0 Operation Control Panel (continued) Search Sense Operation (continued) For example: when the search sensitivity threshold is set at 40 watts and no loads are present that are 40 watts or greater, the inverter will “ignore” any loads less than 40 watts and remain in idle mode. When a load greater than 40 watts appears, the inverter comes out of idle mode and applies power to the load.
4.0 Operation Standby (SB) Option Units equipped with the standby (SB) option have an additional LED and circuit breaker on the front panel. See Figure 4-2 on page 53 for the location of the Standby Charger Status LED and SB Charger AC Input Breaker. SB Option Operation The standby option adds an internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay.

However, there are special conditions CAUTION: Some of these that can cause a load to behave differently than expected. The following problem loads can cause describes some of the common problems encountered when using an inverter.
5.0 Troubleshooting Potential Problem Loads for the Inverter (continued) Dimmer Switches Most dimmer switches lose their ability to dim the lights when used with an inverter and operate only in the fully ON or OFF position. Newer dimmer switches controlled by microprocessors tend to work better in inverter applications.
5.0 Troubleshooting Potential Problem Loads related to Search Sense Mode Some loads can “fool” the Search Sense Mode, causing the unit to cycle on and off, or not to turn on at all. Confirming Search Mode Operation A neon-type nightlight can be used as a test indicator to show whether the inverter is searching for loads.
5.0 Troubleshooting Multiwire Branch Circuits A potential safety problem exists when installing stand-alone 120 Vac inverters into existing 120/240 Vac wired panels where multiwire branch circuit wiring methods were used. Multiwire branch circuits are wired differently from “home run” type wiring in that only one neutral wire is used to provide the neutral-return path for each circuit connected to both phases of the AC grid.

Appendix B - Batteries Batteries are available in different sizes, amp-hour ratings, voltage, liquid or gel, vented or non-vented, chemistries, etc. They are also available for starting applications (such as an automobile starting battery) and deep discharge applications. Only the deep discharge types are recommended for inverter applications.
Appendix B - Batteries Selection of a Battery Type (continued) Sealed Batteries (GEL and AGM) Both gel cell and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries are virtually maintenance CAUTION: If using sealed free, making them ideal for inverter applications. Since the batteries are batteries, ensure the battery charger is set to the completely sealed, they can be mounted in almost any position.
Appendix B - Batteries Battery-Bank Sizing The battery-bank’s size determines the length of time the inverter can continue to supply AC output power. The larger the bank, the longer the inverter can run. An undersized battery bank results in reduced battery life and short inverter run times.

Appendix B - Batteries Battery Cable Sizing NOTE: Figure B-1 is for reference only. Sizes shown are for the conductor. Do not include any insulation when determining your wire size. Due to printing anomolies, these dimensions may not be to scale.
Appendix B - Batteries Battery Configurations The battery-bank must be wired to match the inverter’s DC input voltage specifications (12 Vdc). In addition, the batteries can be wired to provide additional run time. The various wiring configurations are as follows. Series Wiring batteries in “series”...
Appendix B - Batteries Battery Configurations (continued) Wiring Batteries in Series Wiring the batteries in a series configuration increases the voltage of the battery string. The total current capacity of the bank does not increase and it retains the same amp-hour rating as a single battery. In other words, six 2-volt batteries or two 6-volt batteries can be combined to create one 12-volt battery-bank.
Appendix B - Batteries Battery Configurations (continued) Wiring Batteries in Parallel Wiring the batteries in a parallel configuration increases the current of the battery string. This is commonly used in 12-volt configurations. The voltage of the battery bank remains the same as an individual battery. Parallel configurations extend the run times of the AC loads by providing increased current for the inverter to draw from.
Appendix B - Batteries Battery Configurations (continued) Wiring Batteries in Series-Parallel Wiring the batteries in a series-parallel configuration increases the current and voltage of the battery bank. Series-parallel wiring is more complicated and care should be taken when wiring these banks.

Appendix B - Batteries Battery Care and Maintenance To get the best performance from an inverter system, the batteries must be NOTE: The UX inverter/charger does properly setup and maintained. This includes setting the proper voltages for not have adequate voltage to Bulk and Float charging.
Appendix B - Batteries Battery Care and Maintenance (continued) Replenish Water Levels Liquid lead acid batteries require periodic water refills in each battery cell. Only use distilled water in a battery, as tap or mineral water may contain contaminants which will upset the battery chemistry and may damage the battery.
Appendix B - Batteries Check Battery’s State-of-Charge The battery’s state-of-charge should be checked monthly and only when the battery is not powering heavy loads or being actively charged. If the batteries are readily accessible, measure the voltage across the individual battery terminals. There should be less than a 0.2 volt difference between each battery.
