Load indicator
The load indicator shows the load percentage in VA or W, whichever is bigger, the overload indicator will
flash when an overload is present.
Battery Charger
Inverter to Charger Transition
The internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay allow the inverter/charger to operate as
either a battery charger or an inverter (but not both at the same time). The inverter/charger
automatically becomes a battery charger whenever AC power is supplied to its AC input. The AC
input is internally connected to the AC output while in battery charger mode.
Charger Terminology
1.
Constant Current Stage - During this cycle, the batteries are charged at a constant current.
2.
Constant Voltage Stage - During this cycle, the batteries are held at a constant voltage (14.1V
per 12V block for AGM & GEL, 14.6V per 12V block for FLOODED) and accept whatever
current (less than the current in CC stage) is required to maintain this voltage. This ensures full
charging.
3.
Float Stage - During this cycle, the batteries are held at the float voltage (13.5V per 12V block).
4.
Whenever the AC is reconnected, the charger will reset the above cycle.
5.
If the charger maintains the float state for 21 consecutive days, the charger will reset the cycle.
Circuit Breaker
charger contains one input circuit breaker located on the rear panel of the chassis, next to the
The inverter/
AC input terminal block. This circuit breaker protects the charger and bypass circuits. The circuit breaker
will trigger if the input is over-current. The circuit breaker is push to reset.
