SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION GUDIE FOR THE 1 kW HYBRID POWER SYSTEM (HPS)
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Operating
Mode Display
Description
Standby
In
Standby mode
there is no output, no AC bypass, and no charging.
Inverting
In
Inverting mode
, the PRO-Verter is supporting the load by converting
energy stored in the batteries into AC power. The batteries are not being
charged when the PRO-Verter is in Inverter mode.
Charging
In
Charging mode
, the PRO-Verter is charging the batteries and
supporting the AC load. The degree to which the batteries are charged
will depend on the demand of the AC load; supporting the load is
prioritized over charging the batteries.
Power Save
Power Save Mode
is when the power drawn by AC load falls to (6 W)
the “ENTER POINT” programmed value for 5 s, the PRO-Verter will enter
“Power Save Mode”. If in “Power Save Mode” and the AC load rises to
(7 W) “WAKE UP POINT”, the PRO-Verter will quit “Power Save Mode”
and will start operating in Inverting Mode.
Online
This option is also called “On-Line UPS Mode”. In this mode, the Inverter
is the primary source of power to an AC load, drawing energy stored in
the batteries. The AC power input source is the back up power source to
support AC loads.
Chrg Only

Under “ONLINE MODE” only (Option 2=Charger Only). Provides charging
and pass-through when the AC input is available. The PRO-Verter
inverter is inactive when AC input is not available.
PRO-Verter Operating Modes
Table 2. Operating Modes: Descriptions
When the PRO-Verter is operating normally, the user interface will display the name of the operating
mode and values of operating parameters. Because all the operating parameters associated with
a particular operating mode cannot be displayed in one screen, multiple screens are available that
can be accessed using the UP and DOWN keys. Table 2 provides names and descriptions of the
operating modes.
The user interface will automatically display the current PRO-Verter Operating Mode Use the
UP and DOWN buttons to view the values of parameters associated with the current mode
The operating modes windows and subwindows are READ ONLY.

It is not recommended to put the PRO-Verter into charge-only mode when the PRO-Verter is part
of a functioning HPS with both AC and DC loads. AC loads connected to the PRO-Verter will not
be supported if the AC power source connected to the PRO-Verter fails. Charge-only mode may be
used in an HPS with DC-only loads.
