9. DC Input Terminals (All models): The terminals' lug screws secure the wires leading from
your external battery or battery system. Your battery or battery system must provide your
APS with proper DC voltage and your equipment with an adequate amp hour capacity. See
Battery Selection section, pg. 8 for more information.
10. AC Receptacles: IEC 320 (Corded models only): These IEC receptacles allow you to
connect equipment that would normally be plugged into a utility outlet. For other plug
configurations, use an adapter that provides a connection to ground.
11. AC Input: IEC 320 (Corded models only): This IEC receptacle should be connected to a
dedicated 15 Amp AC utility outlet via an adapter cord that provides a connection to ground.
A detachable IEC to 5-15 cord is provided for this purpose. DO NOT plug the cord into the
APS's AC receptacles.
12. Hardwire AC Input/Output Terminal Strip (Hardwire models only): Use the lug screws
on these terminals to secure hardwire connections for AC input and output. See pages 10 & 36
for wiring instructions.
13. Resettable Circuit Breakers (All models): These circuit breakers protect your APS against
damage due to input or output overload. If a breaker trips, remove some of the load on the
APS to prevent overload, then wait 1 minute to allow components to cool before resetting
the circuit breaker.
14. Remote Module Connector (All models): The front panel of all models has an RJ45
receptacle for use with the optional remote module. (Module is included with all VR
models.) See the installation instructions packed with the remote module.
15. Load Sense Potentiometer (All models): In order to save battery power, the APS's inverter
automatically shuts off when no load is connected. When the unit detects a load, it
automatically turns the inverter on. Users may choose the minimum load the APS will detect
by adjusting the Load Sense Potentiometer. Using a small tool, turn the potentiometer
clockwise to lower the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on
for smaller loads. When the potentiometer is turned fully clockwise, the inverter will operate
even when there is no load. Turn the potentiometer counterclockwise to increase the minimum
load that will be detected, causing the inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is
reached. The factory setting for the potentiometer is fully clockwise, but in areas with
frequent power interruptions, the potentiometer should be adjusted counterclockwise until
the inverter is only in operation when the APS's load is in use.
