This following User’s Manual is provided to better enhance your understanding of the product and ensure its proper
installation and usage. Reading this manual carefully prior to installation of the SVR Series Precision Utility Voltage
Regulator and Conditioner will save time and ensure worry-free operation.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during the installation, operation and
maintenance of this equipment. Please store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
STORAGE & INSTALLATION
CAUTION: All of the SVR models presented herein are designed for installation and use in a controlled
enviroment free of dust, dirt and water.
The SVR Series Precision Utility Voltage Regulator and Conditioner is designed for installation in a controlled
environment (temperature controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaniments).
The system is lightweight and can be easily moved. Some important points to consider when positioning a unit for
operation:
It is preferable that a dedicated outlet is accessible to connect the SVR. DO NOT modify the supplied cord in any way
nor should an extension cord of any kind be used.
The cord paths in the system installation should remain clear of foot traffic or anything else that may disturb
permanent connection.
The installation site should maintain an ambient air temperature of less than 104
the system remains cooler during operation, there is less stress on internal electronics. An air conditioned
environment will yield the longest SVR life.
The SVR air inlets, vents and fan should not be obstructed or blocked in any way. The more breathing space the
system has, the cooler it operates.
The air should remain free from excessive dust and chemical fumes.
Once a location has been selected and the unit is installed, it is ready for operation.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
The SVR Series Precision Utility Voltage Regulator and Conditioner is designed to be maintenance-free. It can be
cleaned with a damp cloth or nonabrasive cleanser providing it is turned off and the input plug is disconnected from the
utility source. Be sure vents and fans are kept free from accumulation of dust, dirt or lint.
FALCON ELECTRIC SVR SERIES
INSTALLATION AND STARTUP CHECK LIST
1. Verify the following is included in the SVR shipping carton:
SVR
Power Cord Owner’s Manual
2. Verify that the SVR unit is configured for the proper input/output voltage and frequency. This information is stated
on the nameplate label located on the rear panel of the unit as well as setting dip switch settings also located on
the SVR rear panel.
3. For the 1kVA model, connect the power cord to the inlet located on the SVR rear panel.
4. Select a suitable location for the SVR near enough to the computer or equipment to connect the power cord.
Verify the location you have selected has adequate ventilation to allow for the proper cooling of the SVR. DO
NOT
BLOCK SVR FANS OR AIR VENTS. THE SVR MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.
5. Turn the input switch located on the SVR rear panel to the “on” position. The internal SVR fan will turn on and
after several seconds the front panel “line” indicator should turn on, followed by the “inverter” indicator.
6. Turn on the connected equipment and verify the SVR does not go into overload, by using the front panel load
indicator.
TO TURN OFF THE SVR
, TURN OFF THE INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER. THE SVR WILL RUN FOR ABOUT 30
SECONDS AND SHUTDOWN.

The first or bottom LED is lit when the output load is greater than 25% of the rated output of the SVR.
The second LED is lit when the output load is greater than 50% of the rated output of the SVR.
The third LED is lit when the output load is greater than 75% of the rated output of the SVR.
When this LED is lit, the SVR bypass is active. Should the Alarm LED be lit
at the same time, the SVR detected an internal failure and must be
serviced.
When this LED is lit, the SVR inverter is operating and powering the
connected load.

Audiable Alarms
Audible alarm signals are divided into two catagories. Each category represents a different level of alarm status.
Catagory One Alarms represent normal or correctable operational alarms. Category Two Alarms are sounded in
the event of abnormal operation This will provide the end-user a more detailed notification of the SVR’s status.
1. Category One Alarms:
• One long beep prior to a short beep, lets the user know the SVR is in an OVER LOAD, OVER CREST,
or FAULT situation.
── − = SVR IS IN OVERLOAD OR OVER CREST
• When ON/OFF button pressed, the associated actions will be initiated and there will be one short
beep.
− = WHEN SVR FRONT PANEL BUTTON DEPRESSED
• When the INITIAL SELF-TEST has been completed, there will be one short beep.
− = WHEN SVR FRONT PANEL BUTTON DEPRESSED
2. Category Two Alarms:
• Three short beeps: indicates the SVR output voltage is out of proper operating range.
− − − = SVR OUTPUT VOLTAGE OUT OF PROPER RANGE.
• Four short beeps: indicates the SVR output frequency is out of proper operating range.
− − − − = SVR OUTPUT FREQUENCY OUT OF PROPER RANGE.
• Five short beeps: indicates the SVR is in an over-temperature condition.
− − − − − = SVR INTERNAL TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
3. If the INITIAL SELF-TEST cannot be completed after start-up, the SVR will sound the following alarms upon the
stated conditions:
• Continuous rapid beeping for about 5 seconds and the SVR shuts down - Output voltage over range.
− − − − − − − − − − − − −
• Continuous rapid beeping for about 2 seconds and the SVR shuts down - The SVR performed a DC start, but
there is no output frequency set in memory.
− − − − − − − − − − = The SVR performed a DC start, but there is no output frequency set in memory.
− − − − − − − − − − − − = Output voltage over range.
