2. Press the THD Shield button 5 times within three seconds.
The THD Shield disabled icon will turn on.
3. Monitor your devices for abnormal operation and disconnect
as necessary.
Do Not Overload Power Station
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting
watts necessary for your purposes:
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same
time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of
power you need to keep your items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified
in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2.
Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some
electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under
“Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time.
4. The total running watts from step 2 is how many
watts
the
Power Station will discharge during one
hour
of run time,
watt-hours (Wh)
.
Divide the Power Station’s capacity (Wh) by total running
watts from step 2 to get the approximate available run time.
Example:
Step 2 total running watts: 800W
100594 Capacity: 1638Wh
1638Wh/800W = Approximately 2 hours of run time.
5. If the Power Station power output is cut off due to an overload
or high THD condition, see
Resetting the Output
and
THD
Shield (Total Harmonic Distortion)
sections.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your Power Station and attached devices,
follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the Power Station with no electrical load attached.
2. Make sure all circuit breakers are set to the run position.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
4. Plug in and turn on the next items one by one.
NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the
Power Station.
Operation at High Altitude
The density or low pressure of air at higher altitudes is lower than
at sea level.
The increase of higher altitudes causes the battery to ignite faster,
while the mass loss, heat release rate and total heat release for
batteries decrease at low pressure, thereby experiencing faster
internal battery arcing, and greater energy consumption with the
higher altitudes and thinner atmospheres.
Parallel Operation
Champion Power Station model 100594 is parallel ready and can
be operated with another Champion inverter or Champion Power
Station to increase the total available electrical output power.
Champion parallel kit model 201108 (optional equipment) is
recommended for optimum parallel operation. For a complete list
of compatible parallel kit models or to order a parallel kit, please
call customer service at 1-877-338-0999 or visit
www.championpowerequipment.com.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation and operation of
the connected Power Stations are also provided in the parallel kit
operator’s manual.
