Controls
There are several controls on the inverters front panel that provide adjustments for the
battery charger, and AC output energy saving mode.
DC Controls
Battery Type Selector
The Battery Type Selector is a 10 position rotary switch used to set the inverters charger
for the proper Float and Bulk voltage levels. These levels are selected depending on the type
of batteries used. There are also 2 positions (0 and 1) which allow the batteries to be
equalized. Equalizing batteries should only be done on liquid lead acid batteries and never
on sealed batteries. Refer to the table below for the charge voltages in the various switch
positions.
Switch Positions
0 and 1Equalize 1 and 2
These positions are used to equalize lead acid batteries. When selected, the batteries
are held at the Bulk voltage for a minimum of 6 hours. Position 0 equalizes at a rate equal
to the battery bank capacity (in amp-hours) divided by 40. Position 1 charges at a rate set
by the BATTERY CHARGER RATE control.
2Deep Cycle Lead Acid 2
Provides an additional Float and Bulk settings for deep cycle, lead acid batteries. Refer
to the battery manufacturers recommendation for Float and Bulk settings.
3Not Specified
Provides an additional set of Bulk and Float voltages.

NOTES:
Switch positions "0" and "1" are for monthly battery maintenance only. Return the switch to the appropriate position for the system’s batteries when
Equalize charging has completed. NEVER EQUALIZE SEALED BATTERIES! Use together with BATTERY CHARGER RATE potentiometer
(position 1) or BATTERY CAPACITY potentiometer (position 0).
Equalize voltages are displayed in the table with an asterisk (*)–switch positions "0" and "1" only.
Switch position "7" is the default value as shipped from the factory.
Always refer to the battery manufacturer's specifications for Float, Bulk and Equalize (if applicable) voltages.
