1 OVERVIEW AND FEATURES The SP-AVR series inverters are advanced and user-friendly power supply units designed to provide pure sine-wave uninterruptible power to your connected equipment; besides the big charger capable of charging batteries with up to 35A current (depending on model), the inverter unlike the traditional ones, also provides a very short transference when blackouts happen;...
2 INFORMATION PRESENTATION 2.1 LED display models There are variations for information representation via LED indicators for different models, still they share the same control method. Please refer to the following example: LEDs of battery voltage level and load level.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Inspect the packing carton for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Immediately notify the carrier and your reseller if any damage is found. Retain the package for future use. 3.2 Plug the power cord into a 3-wire grounded AC power wall receptacle. If an...
4 OPERATION 4.1. Once connected to the normal city power, the inverter will automatically start charging the batteries. When the inverter is OFF, the inverter would still perform the battery charging, and the status LED (in LED version) would blink green every 2 seconds;...

Inverter. If the “Gn.1” is blinking, the green mode level is set to 1% of full load. The inverter will turn OFF the power automatically after a blackout occurs if the load level is less than 1% of the rated full load.
5 INDICATION AND CONTROL 5.1 LED Display 5.1.1 Battery level and load level LEDs The battery level LEDs show the battery level both in back-up mode and in normal mode. When the LED indicates 20% of the capacity in back-up mode, the Inverter is going to shut down soon;...

5.5 Remote Control The Inverter can be set for daily shutdown/wake up. This command must be set through the RS-232 interface. When this function is set, the timer inside the Inverter will start, and the load will be turned OFF according to the shutdown / wake-up schedule. During the period between a Turn-OFF and a next Turn-ON, the status LED would blink red every 2 seconds.
6 COMMUNICATION INTERFACE The Inverter provides two computer interfaces: RS -232 and USB (optional). The RS-232 interface also has the dry contact function (DB-9, optional). The models with USB interface are utilizing the same control port for both USB & RS -232 ports, so only one interface can be used at a time.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Action to Take Inverter shows no reaction 1. Line cord plug is loose 1. Check the line cord plug when AC input is connected 2. Fuse on rear panel is blown 2. Replace the fuse (located Inside the drawer of 3.
