Configuration

Set Configuration DIP Switches
Using a small tool, set the Configuration DIP Switches
(located on the front panel of your unit, see diagram) to
optimize Inverter/Charger operation depending on your
application. Warning: Make sure the unit is turned
OFF before changing DIP Switch settings.

CAUTION: When switching to the High Charge Amp setting, the user
must ensure that the amp hour capacity of their battery system exceeds
the amperage of the High Charge Amp setting or the batteries may be
damaged or degraded.
6 Select Equalize Battery Charge - OPTIONAL
Switch this DIP switch to the down position for 3 seconds to begin the
process of equalizing the charge state of your battery's cells by
time-limited overcharge of all cells. This can extend the useful life of
certain types of batteries; consult with your battery's manufacturer to
determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge
equalization process is automatic; once started, it can only be stopped
by removing the input power.

Not Used
Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or generator when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its
full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the same time as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-though utility power.
To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, all Inverter/Chargers are pre-set to automatically limit the input current as described in "Most Limiting" below. If your unit is equipped with DIP switches 7 and 8,
they may be used to select other AC input current sharing settings. Verify that AC input wiring is rated for the higher current that results when using the other settings.
Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points
"Most Limiting" (#7 & #8 Up): Charger-limiting takes effect the
moment any AC load is applied; charger output falls gradually from
full output at no AC load passing through to no output at full load
(factory setting).
"Less Limiting" (#7 Up & #8 Down): Charger-limiting begins
when the Inverter/Charger's load reaches 33% of the Inverter/
Charger's load rating. Charger output falls gradually from full
output at 33% of the Inverter/Charger's load rating to about 33% of
full output at full load.

optimal protection for standard loads in areas with frequent outages. If you will use
the Inverter/Charger to support computers or other sensitive electronic equipment
loads, set the transfer time to ½ cycle (switch #2 UP) to ensure uninterrupted operation
when the Inverter/Charger transfers to battery power.

Setting Procedure
"Reset"
• Move to "Equalize" (DOWN) postition for 3 seconds.
• Move to "Reset" (UP) postition and leave it there. This is the factory default setting.
CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #6 in the down position after beginning process. Battery charge
equalization should only be performed in strict accordance with the battery manufacturer's instructions
and specifications.

"Least Limiting" (#7 Down & #8 Up): Charger-limiting begins when the Inverter/Charger's load
reaches 66% of the Inverter/Charger's load rating. Charger
output falls gradually from full output at 66% of the Inverter/
Charger's load rating to about 66% of full output at full load.
"No Limiting" (#7 & #8 Down): No charger-limiting occurs at
