6.2.3
Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting sparks or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical
part may cause an explosion.
6.2.4
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries.
Lead-acid batteries produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing
severe burn.
7. DIP switch settings & AC Voltage Adjustment
The follow tables define the various settings of the DIP switches and voltage adjustment potentiometer mounted at the
center of the front panel of the Inverter.
Note that when changes are made to the DIP switch settings it is necessary to recycle the power to the Inverter
to allow the internal microprocessor to read the new settings.

8. Communications Protocol & Remote ON/OFF Function
Scimitar 3000 Series inverters can communicate their status to a computer via an RS232 connection by sending a single
‘Status Inquiry’ Telnet command from the computer as follows.
Using a Terminal programme such as Hyperterminal create a profile with the following parameters:
Baud rate: to match setting on unit (default 2400)
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: none
From the properties tab (in Hyperterminal) settings and then ASCII and make sure that all boxes are checked with the
exception of ‘Force incoming data to 7-bit ASCII.
Make sure the profile is saved for future use.
