The inverter may be placed in " STAND-BY " when hooked to shore power or
operating from the generator. If AC power discontinues, the inverter activates
automatically. When AC power resumes, the inverter will go back to
STAND-BY
mode. STAND-BY mode is indicated by the INVERT status light flashing once
every two seconds when hooked to shore power or operating from the generator.
To Enable or Disable this Feature:
• Press the INVERT button.
NOTE: Remember to disable stand-by mode when not in use. It may
run down the house batteries.
Setting the Power Share amps can limit the amount of AC power available to
the internal charger. Battery charger draw can exceed 20 AC Amps. When hooked
to anything less than 50 Amp service it may be necessary, depending on other AC
loads, to adjust the Power Share amps to avoid overloading the shore power breaker.
NOTE: Limiting the amount of useable current for the charger increases
the amount of time necessary to charge the batteries.
The time it takes to fully charge the batteries varies greatly. It can take several
hours or even days, depending on the inverter's settings and state of charge of the
batteries. The charge cycle is done in three steps:
• First step is "BULK" charge.
The "bulk" charge will bring the DC voltage up high, initially between
14.2-14.5 Volts DC, depending on conditions. The length of the bulk
charge cycle depends on the condition of the battery, loads and other
factors. When the battery voltage attains 14.2-14.5 Volts DC, the
charger begins the next cycle.
• Second step is the "ACCEPT" cycle.
The voltage in this cycle is the same as the bulk charge cycle 14.2-
14.5 Volts DC. The length of the absorb cycle will vary with state of
charge of the batteries.
• Final step is the "FLOAT" charge cycle.
Approximately 80% of the charging has been completed at this time.
The float charge voltage is generally around 13.3-13.7 Volts DC. The
last 20% of the charge cycle of the batteries typically takes the most
amount of time. The charging cycle is initiated each time the inverter
is disconnected or reconnected to AC power. Repeated charging cycles
in succession can lead to boiling of the batteries.
