24VDC PRO-Verter 7000-120 AGS Operator Manual
UPS (automatic functions)
Operating conditions – A PRO-Verter connects critical AC loads directly to grid/utility or prime AC
power when it is available, and provides backup power for the load by supplying Inverter AC (using
energy from a connected battery bank) when the Grid-Utility or Prime AC source is interrupted.
In the UPS model, “peak shaving” and the use of renewable power sources are also possible by
connecting a Power Hub.
Note about PRO-Verter Model Programming:
The PRO-Verter is usually pre-programmed at the factory for use in the application in which it is to
be used. It is possible for the Operator to alter any of the programmed settings for HYBRID, LOAD
SUPPORT, PEAK POWER DELIVERY or UPS models when changes to operating conditions and
system architecture are necessary. Consult the System Deployment Guide for details.
Selecting a Generator/Grid AC Source
PRO-Verters can be used with grid-utility or generator AC power sources, and can be easily
programmed to work with the amperage limits of both the AC source circuits and the AC load
circuits. Once programmed, the PRO-Verter effectively calculates and then regulates how much
power is delegated between these circuits, to prevent overload conditions while maintaining
(prioritizing) the load.
Acceptable generators/grid AC sources for use with a single PRO-Verter should provide power
between 1 kW to 10 kW, and ALL source AC power must provide consistent, pure sine-wave AC
output. The PRO-Verter will not accept modified sine wave AC, or “dirty” power. Fluctuations in
voltage or frequency during operation may have an adverse affect on PRO-Verter functions.
Many factors should be considered when selecting a specific generator for use with a PRO-Verter,
including:
• Auto-start/stop capability
• Physical size
• Weight
• Fuel consumption
• AC output rating
If a particular generator is desired based on the application, then one of the following power models
will likely be used:
The Hybrid Model
• The peak AC load should not exceed the maximum continuous AC output of both the PRO-
Verter and AC power source (i.e.,
Peak Load AC ≤ AC Source and PRO-Verter AC
)
