5.0 Operation

5.2 Operating the Inverter/Charger

5.2.1 Inverter Mode

Turning the inverter on:

Press the ON/OFF INVERTER button to activate the

inverter function. The inverter will either be actively “inverting” by using power

from the batteries to power the AC loads; or, the inverter will be “searching”

for a load by using very little power from the batteries, if in Searching mode.

The green INV LED is on when the inverter is actively inverting, and the green

INV LED

ashes while searching.

Turning the inverter off:

While the inverter is actively inverting or search-

ing, press the ON/OFF INVERTER button to switch the inverter function off.

This turns the green INV LED off.

Inverter Standby

– The inverter is in Inverter Standby mode when it is

enabled (green INV LED is on) but not actively providing power from the

batteries to the inverter loads. During Inverter Standby mode, the loads con-

nected to the inverter are powered by the external AC power; however, if a

blackout or brownout condition occurs, the inverter senses these conditions

and starts inverting to power the inverter’s AC loads.

CAUTION:

If you have critical loads and are in Inverter Standby,

do not press the ON/OFF INVERTER button to turn the inverter

function off. If the green INV LED is off, inverter power will NOT

be available to run your critical loads if the external AC power is

interrupted.

5.2.2 Charger Mode

Turning the charger on:

The Charge mode is automatically activated and

begins when acceptable AC power (utility or generator) is connected to the

input of the inverter. When in Charge mode, the display may show:

Charging

Bulk Charging

Absorb Charging

Float Charging

Full Charge

Silent

Charger

Standby

Force Float

Equalizing, Load Support VDC,

and

Load Support AAC

Charger Standby

– While the charger is actively charging, press the ON/OFF

CHARGER button to switch the charger to Charger Standby. While in Charger

Standby, the incoming AC is still available on the inverter’s output, but the

charger is not allowed to charge. The LCD displays “

Charger Standby

” and

the CHG LED

ashes.

Info:

To resume charging, momentarily press the ON/OFF CHARGER but-

ton or disconnect/reconnect AC power to the inverter’s input.

Equalize Charging

– Equalizing is a “controlled overcharge” performed after

the batteries have been fully charged. It helps to mix the battery electrolyte

(to reverse the buildup of strati

cation) and to remove sulfates that may

have built up on the plates. These conditions if left unchecked, will reduce the

overall capacity of the battery. To enable the Equalization charge, see page 53.

WARNING:

Do not perform an Equalization charge without read-

ing and following all safety precautions pertaining to charging/

equalization as noted in this manual and provided by the battery

manufacturer, and any equalization information in the inverter

owner’s manual.
