The peak efficiency of the Global LF series is 88%. Overload Capacity The Global LF series inverters have high overload capacities, making it ideal to handle demanding loads. 1 For 110%<Load<125%(±10%), no audible alarm for 14 minutes, beeps 0.5s every 1s in the 15th minute, and Fault(Turn off) after the 15th minute. - Page 8 243VAC(95-127VAC for 120V model), and AC freq is in the range of 48-54Hz(58-64Hz for 60Hz model). The Global LF series inverter has a very rapid charge current available, and the max charge current can be adjusted from 0%-100% via a liner switch to the right of the battery type selector. This will be helpful if you are using our powerful charger on a small capacity battery bank.

The inverter will go to Over temp protection when the heat sink temp. ≥105ºC(221 ), and go to Fault (shutdown Output) after 30 seconds. The switch has to be reset to activate the inverter. The Global LF series Inverter has back feeding protection which avoids presenting an AC voltage on the AC input terminal in Invert mode. -

The pros and cons should be clearly realized. Load Sensing Cycle: The inverter is factory defaulted to detect load for 250ms every 30 seconds. This cycle can be customized to 3 seconds through SW3 on the DIP switch. -

Questions and answers
How to master reset aims LF series inverter what needs to be shutoff in order for it work
To master reset the AIMS LF Series inverter, you need to shut off the inverter using either the built-in switch panel or a connected remote control panel. After a fault (such as over-temperature or output short circuit), the inverter will not restart automatically. You must manually reset it by turning it off and then back on after the fault is cleared. Ensure the inverter is completely off before resetting.
