The UX Series inverter/charger can be configured for a wide variety of
applications.
• It can be configured for OFF-GRID (stand-alone) applications where no utility
power is available.
• It can be configured for ON-GRID applications where it can operate the AC loads
when the utility grid fails, and/or keep the batteries charged.
The UX series inverter is designed for either 120 Vac/60 Hz or 230 Vac/50 Hz
applications. In locations where there is a 230 Vac/50 Hz requirement, "E" models
are available.
These models produce 120 volts between HOT and NEUTRAL which is standard
for North America.
These models produce 230 volts between HOT (Line) and NEUTRAL which is
standard for most locations except North America.
The inverter system can only support loads for the duration of their battery-bank
capacity. Battery-bank pre-planning is essential.
See Appendix B, Batteries, for additional information on battery types and
estimating battery-bank sizing.
Comprehensive pre-planning is recommended before installing the system to
ensure all factors are accounted for.
Pre-planning should include (but is not limited to) the following.
1. What are the total watts required for all anticipated loads?
2. What are the voltage requirements for the anticipated loads?
(120 Vac or 230 Vac)
3. Battery-bank type, size, and configuration?
4. Are there any local or national electrical codes that need to be met?
5. Are there any special permits required for this installation?
