Reporting Without Ac Power Or While On Standby; Using A Generator As Source Power - Xantrex TC1012 Owner's Manual

Reporting Without AC Power or While on Standby

If AC power has been disconnected or if you have used the
optional remote panel to place the Truecharge™ 2 Battery
Charger on Standby mode, the onboard display (and the
optional remote panel, if installed) LEDs will be turned off to
conserve battery power. However, present settings and
battery status can be viewed momentarily using the
procedures below:
From the remote panel:
◆ Press the Status button to initialize a view cycle to view
The remote panel will turn itself off after 30 seconds of
inactivity.

Using A Generator As Source Power

The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger can be run from a
regular AC power source or from an alternate power source
such as a generator. Refer to Appendix A, "Specifications"
for AC input current draw to determine the size of generator
you need. Many generators provide output voltage that is
modified sine wave or modified square wave (MSW) rather
than the true sine wave (TSW) that your utility provides.
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger may be used with MSW
generators but its lifetime may be reduced somewhat
depending on the severity of any peak voltage overshoots,
and the severity of waveshape rise times.
