6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 READ ME This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the Vanner Incorporated Silent Runner Series Power Inverter/Charger System. The SR-Series Inverter/Charger is designed to be compliant with UL458, Power Converters/Inverters and Power Converter/Inverter Systems for Land Vehicles. -
Page 8: General Precautions
All external conductors must use proper wire size to avoid dangerous overheating or diminished performance. If the Vanner inverter system has been dropped or damaged in any way, do not operate until its operation has been verified to be safe by a qualified technician. - Page 9 Care should be taken when working with metal tools around batteries. Potentials for spark exists or short-circuit of the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion. Never charge a frozen battery. Battery temperature needs to be above 32°F (0°C) before charging. SRC12-1200L/S INVERTER/CHARGER 10/31/08 - 10:20 AM...

Page 18: Procedure To Check Battery Charger Operation
10 THEORY OF OPERATION 10.1 BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION The SRC12-1200L/S incorporates an automatic, three-stage battery charger. This design enables the unit to automatically charge batteries, maintaining the battery's integrity and reducing the likelihood of premature failure. The battery charger is designed to be used with lead-acid type batteries including sealed and gel types, but not for nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) or nickel-iron types. -

30 milliseconds (0.030 seconds). The 0.030 second transfer time allows all but the most sensitive loads to transfer from inverter power to shore power and back to inverter power without interruption. SRC12-1200L/S INVERTER/CHARGER 10/31/08 - 10:20 AM... -
Page 20: Preventive Maintenance
AC input voltage is monitored for proper tolerance at all times. When the AC input is within tolerance for approximately 5 seconds, the power is passed through to the output circuit and the SRC12-1200L/S automatically switches from inverter mode to battery charger mode. The unit automatically switches back to inverter mode when input power is disconnected or when input power is no longer within tolerance. - Page 21 Check AC output voltage at convenience receptacle with a “True RMS” meter.

A battery will age faster (loose active material from its plates faster) if it is deeply discharged regularly, if it is left in a discharged state for extended periods of time, or if it is repeatedly overcharged. SRC12-1200L/S INVERTER/CHARGER 10/31/08 - 10:20 AM... -
Page 23: Dc Power Consumption
120 volts x 6 amps = 720 watts, and DC input current = 720 ÷ 10 = 72 amps DC. This information on estimating the DC input current requirement for an inverter would allow you to size an alternator or charging system to supply an inverter for continuous operation.
