I. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near
a lead-acid battery.

2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

3. Wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near a battery.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If battery acid enters

the eye, immediately ood eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

6. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit

the battery or other electrical part and cause a re or an explosion.

7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a

lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery, when shorted, can produce a current su󰀩cient to weld a ring or the

like metal causing a severe burn.

8. Use the battery charger for charging gel-cell, AGM and ooded lead-acid batteries only. Do not use the
charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home applications. These batteries
may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.

9. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.

II. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Before installing and using the Inverter Charger, read the manual and cautionary markings on the Inverter
Charger enclosure. Be sure to read all instructions and cautionary markings for any equipment attached

to this unit. Installers must be certied technicians or electricians.

2. This product is designed for indoor/compartment installation. Do not expose the inverter/charger to rain,
snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do
not install the Inverter Charger in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result. Allow clearance

around the inverter for air ow. Make sure that the air can circulate freely around the unit. A minimum air
ow of 145CFM is required.

3. To avoid a risk of re and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition;
and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

4. This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent re or explosion

do not install in compartments containing batteries or ammable materials or in locations which require

ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel

tanks, or joints, ttings, or other connection between components of the fuel system. See Warranty for

instructions on obtaining service.

5. Do not dis-assemble the Inverter Charger. It contains no user serviceable parts. Attempting to service the

Inverter Charger yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or re. Internal capacitors remain charged

after all power is disconnected.

6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the Inverter Charger
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning o󰀨 controls will not reduce this risk.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The output side of the inverter’s AC wiring should at no time be connected to public power or a
generator. This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will shut
down until corrections are made. Installation should ensure that the inverter’s AC output is, at no time,
connected to its AC input.

7. The power unit is to be installed so that it prevents and discourages human contact.

WARNING: LIMITATIONS ON USE

SPECIFICALLY, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INVERTER CHARGER SHOULD NOT BE USED IN CONNECTION
WITH LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS OR OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT OR DEVICES. WE MAKES NO
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR PRODUCTS FOR SUCH USES. USING
THE INVERTER CHARGER WITH THESE PARTICULAR EQUIPMENTS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save This Manual! Read this manual before installation, it contains important safety, installation and operating
instructions. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

All wiring must follow the National Electric Code, Provincial or other codes in e󰀨ect at the time of installation,

regardless of suggestions in this manual. All wires should be copper conductors.

IV . CHARGER PRECAUTIONS:

1. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

2. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.

3. Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; replace them immediately.

4. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged.

5. Do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock and re.

6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the charger from the AC source before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.

7. LOCATION OF CHARGER: The charger should be mounted on ground vehicle oor, ventilated compart-
ment or other suitable surface as close to the batteries to be charged as possible. Do not block the char­ger’s fan or air intakes. Do not mount the charger directly over the batteries as fumes may cause exces­sive corrosion. The area should be well ventilated and free from excessive moisture, exhaust manifolds,
and battery fumes. For maximum performance, the charger should not be located in an area of extreme
high temperature. The charger is not waterproof. Do not mount the charger where there is a possibility of
water entering the unit. Evidence of water entry into the charger will void the warranty.

8. CAUTION: Do not attempt to increase battery bank capacity by splitting the output of one of the banks
with a diode-type battery isolator. The diode isolator lowers the charger voltage and results in under­charging the batteries connected to it. If additional capacity is required it is preferable to add another
isolated or parallel battery.

V. GROUND AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION:

1. The charger should be grounded via the AC power connection to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

2. The charger must be plugged into or wired to an outlet that is an over-current protected 3 prong outlet.
Alternatively, it may be routed through a separate dedicated fuse or circuit breaker on an AC distribution
panel with proper earth/safety ground. All wiring shall comply with UL recommendations, NEC or NFPA

standards and local ordinances. Never alter the AC cord or plug if provided. Any modication of the
cord must only be done by a qualied electrician. Improper cord/outlet connection may result in a risk of

electrical shock.

3. Observe color coding of the AC wiring as follows:

Black………....................... AC Hot or LINE (fused)

White…………................... AC Neutral

Green…….................…….. AC Ground (safety/earth) ,

4. A branch rated overcurrent protection shall be provided for the AC terminal output blocks.

5. CAUTION: (230 VAC applications only): If AC input is provide from a source consisting of two HOT or

LINE leads (phase-to-phase 230 VAC input voltage); an external fuse or circuit breaker must be used to

protect both hot leads.

6. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of re, connect only to an AC circuit provided with a 50A maximum branch

circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

III . PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES:

1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, imme-

diately ood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

2. Never smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of battery or engine.

3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery of other elec­trical part may cause an explosion.

4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the
like to metal, causing a severe burn

5. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only rechargeable batteries such as deep-cycle lead acid, lead an­timony, lead calcium gel cell, absorbed mat or NiCad/NiFe. Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury and damage.

6. Don’t install the inverter near batteries, the inverter may heat battery electrolyte and cause corrosive
fumes to vent and damage/corrode nearby electronics or metals.

INTRODUCTION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Kussmaul Inverter Charger is a transformer based inverter and battery charger with an unprecedented

conversion e󰀩ciency of 80%.

Packed with unique features, it is one of the most technically advanced inverter/charger on the market.
It features power factor corrected, sophisticated multi-stage charging control and pure sine wave output
with high surge capability to meet power needs of all sorts of demanding loads without putting the
equipment at risk.

The transformers of the whole line have been consistently improved for years to achieve the best balance

of conversion e󰀩ciency, idle consumption and maximum THD.

The idle consumption of the Inverter Charger is ultra low, roughly 1.5% of its rated power.
Loaded with full linear loads, the maximum THD of the Inverter Charger is 3% at nominal battery voltage

and 10% at low battery voltage alarm point.

These special features make this line compete very well with its high frequency counterparts.
The powerful battery charger of Auto Power Inverter Charger goes as high as 55 Amps. In response
to the increasing demand of more advanced battery charging, our engineering team equipped the line

with Battery Temperature Sensing for increased charging precision.The generous 300% surge capacity

of 20 seconds makes it possible to support demanding inductive loads.

The AC/Battery priority and auto generator start functionality make it ideally suitable to work in either
backup power or renewable energy applications.When customized to Battery priority mode via a DIP
switch, the inverter will extract maximum power from external power sources in renewable energy
systems and a minimal cycle of battery will be required. With the availability of auto generator start, an
electrical generator can be integrated into the system and started when the battery voltage goes low.
With audible buzzer, the inverter gives the users comprehensive information of the operation status,
making it easier for maintenance and troubleshooting.
Thus the Auto Power Inverter Charger is suitable for a myriad of applications including renewable energy
systems, utility, truck, RV and emergency vehicles etc.

To get the most out of the power inverter, it must be installed, used and maintained properly. Please

OPERATION

I. INVERTER:

A.Topology

The Auto Power Inverter Charger is built according to the following topology.
Invert: Full Bridge Topology.
Charge: Isolated Boost Topology
When operating in invert mode, the direct current (DC) that enters the inverter from the

batteries is ltered by a large input capacitor and switched “On” and “O󰀨” by the Metal
Oxide Silicon Field E󰀨ect Transistors (MOSFET) at a rate of 50 Hz or 60Hz, and directed

into the transformer which steps the voltage up to 230 or 120 volts. The unit has a 16bit,

4.9MHZ microprocessor to control the output voltage and frequency as the DC input volt­age and/or output load varies.

Because of high e󰀩ciency MOSFETs and the heavy transformers, it outputs PURE SINE
WAVE AC with an average THD of 7% (min 3%, max 10% under full linear loads) depend-

ing on load connected and battery voltage.

The peak invert e󰀩ciency of Inverter is 80%.

B.Overload Capacity

The Auto Power Inverter Charger has di󰀨erent overload capacities, making it ideal to handle de­manding loads.

1. For 110%<Load<125%(±10%), no audible alarm in 14 minutes, beeps 0.5s every 1s in the
15th minute, and Fault(Turn o󰀨) after the 15th minute.

2. For 125%<Load<150%(±10%), beeps 0.5s every 1s and Fault(Turn o󰀨) after the 1 minute.
3 For 300% <Load>150%(±10%), beeps 0.5s every 1s and Fault(Turn o󰀨) after 20s.

C.Soft Start in Inverter Mode

The inverter is engineered with “Soft Start” feature.

When the inverter is turned on, the output voltage gradually ramps up from 0VAC to rated voltage

in about 1.2 sec. This e󰀨ectively reduces otherwise very high starting inrush current drawn by AC

loads such as Switched Mode Power Supplies and inductive loads. This will result in lower motor
inrush current, which means less impact on the loads and inverter.
.

Caution:

After the inverter is switched on, it takes a nite time for it to self diagnose and get ready to deliv­er full power. Hence, always switch on the load(s) after a few seconds of switching on the inverter.
Avoid switching on the inverter with the load already switched on. This may prematurely trigger the
overload protection. When a load is switched on, it may require initial higher power surge to start.
Hence, if multiple loads are being powered, they should be switched on one by one so that the in­verter is not overloaded by the higher starting surge if all the loads are switched on at once.

II. Charger:

The Auto Power Inverter Charger is equipped with an active PFC (Power Factor Corrected) mul­tistage battery charger. The PFC feature is used to control the amount of power used to charge
the batteries in order to obtain a power factor as close as possible to 1.
Unlike other inverters whose max charging current decreases according to the input AC voltage,
Auto Power Inverter Charger is able to output max charge current as long as input AC voltage is
in the range of 95-127VAC for 120V model, and AC freq is in the range of 48-54Hz(58-64Hz for
60Hz model).

The Auto Power Inverter Charger has a very rapid charge current available, and the max charge

current can be adjusted from 0%-100% via a liner switch on the DC side of the inverter. This will

be helpful if this powerful charger apply charging on a small capacity battery bank.

Choosing “0” in the battery type selector will disable charging function.

There are three main charging stages:
Bulk Charging: This is the initial stage of charging. While Bulk Charging, the charger supplies
the battery with controlled constant current. The charger will remain in Bulk charge until the Ab­sorption charge voltage (determined by the Battery Type selection) is achieved.
Software timer will measure the time from charger start until the battery charger reaches 0.3V
below the boost voltage, then take this time as T0 and T0×10 = T1.
Absorb Charging: This is the second charging stage and begins after the absorb voltage has
been reached. Absorb Charging provides the batteries with a constant voltage and reduces the
DC charging current in order to maintain the absorb voltage setting.

In this period, the inverter will start a T1 timer; the charger will keep the boost voltage in Boost CV
mode until the T1 timer has run out. Then drop the voltage down to the oat voltage. The timer
has a x time of 1 hour.

Float Charging: The third charging stage occurs at the end of the Absorb Charging time. While

Float charging, the charge voltage is reduced to the oat charge voltage (determined by the Bat­tery Type selection*). In this stage, the batteries are kept fully charged and ready if needed by the
inverter.

If the A/C is reconnected or the battery voltage drops below 12Vdc/24Vdc/48Vdc, the charger will
reset the cycle above.

If the charge maintains the oat state for 10 days, the charger will deliberately reset the cycle to

protect the battery.

Battery Charging Processes

De-sulphation
The de-sulphation cycle on switch position 8 is marked in red because this is a very dangerous
setting if you do not know what you are doing. Before ever attempting to use this cycle you must
clearly understand what it does and when and how you would use it.
What causes sulphation? This can occur with infrequent use of the batteries, nor if the batteries
have been left discharged so low that they will not accept a charge. As the saying goes, desperate
diseases must have desperate remedies. This cycle is a very high voltage charge cycle especially
designed to try to break down the sulphated crust that is preventing the plates from taking a charge
and thus allow the plates to clean up and accept a charge once again.

Warning!

The de-sulphation charging should not be carried out
on batteries with good conditions.

Charging depleted batteries

The Auto Power Inverter Charger
allows start up and through power with
depleted batteries.
For 12VDC models, after the battery
voltage goes below 10V, if the switch is

still(and always) kept in “ON” position,

the inverter is always connected with
battery whose voltage doesn’t drop
below 2V, the inverter will be able to

charge the battery once qualied AC

inputs.
Before the battery voltage going be­low 9VDC, the charging can activated

when the switch is turned to “O󰀨”, then
to “ON”.

When the voltage goes below 9VDC,
and the power switch is turned to

“OFF” or disconnect the inverter from

battery, the inverter will not be able to
charge the battery once again, be­cause the CPU lose memory during
this process

The charging capacity will go to peak in around 3 seconds, this may probably cause a generator
to drop frequency, making inverter transfer to battery mode.
It is suggested to gradually put charging load on the generator by switching the charging switch
from min to max, together with the 15s switch delay, our inverter gives the generator enough time
to spin up.

Changing max charging current

The battery type selector position of “0” will disable battery charger.
The “Charge Current Control” knob will enable the user to control the max charging current from
15% to maximum.

Plug in BTS to get max charging capacity

The inverter charger will output max capacity when the BTS is plugged in. Without BTS, it will
output a max of 25A.

10

Please use a small jeweler’s style at-head screwdriver to turn the

charge current control switch gently to avoid breakage due to
over-turning.
To guarantee the best performance of AC charger when the AC in­put is from a generator, the standby generator should be of at least
150% higher capacity than the inverter.

Warning! Operation with an under-rated generator or generator
with unqualied wave form may cause premature failure which is

not under warranty.

Caution:

III. Transfer:

While in the Standby Mode, the AC input of the inverter is continually monitored. Whenever AC
power falls out of the trip voltages, the inverter automatically transfers back to the Invert Mode
with minimum interruption to your appliances.
The transfer from Standby mode to Inverter mode occurs in approximately 6 milliseconds, with
the worst case of 10 milliseconds. And it is the same time from Inverter mode to Standby mode.
Though it is not designed as a computer UPS system, this transfer time is usually fast enough to
hold them up as devices like computers can generally tolerate a max power loss of 20ms.

There is a 5-second delay from the time the inverter senses that continuously qualied AC is

present at the input terminals to when the transfer is made. This delay is built in to provide time
for a generator to spin-up to a stable voltage and avoid relay chattering. The inverter will not
transfer to generator until it has locked onto the generator’s output. This delay is also designed
to avoid frequent switch when input utility is unstable.

IV. Power Saver

There are two di󰀨erent working statuses for Auto Power inverter: “Power On” and “Power O󰀨”.
When power switch is in “Unit O󰀨” position, the inverter is powered o󰀨.
When power switch is turned to either of “Power Saver Auto” or “Power Saver O󰀨”, the inverter

is powered on.
Power saver function is to dedicated to conserve battery power when AC power is not or rarely
required by the loads.

In this mode, the inverter pulses the AC output looking for an AC load (i.e., electrical appli­ance). Whenever an AC load (greater than 25 watts) is turned on, the inverter recognizes the
need for power and automatically starts inverting and output goes to full voltage. When there
is no load (or less than 25 watts) detected, the inverter automatically goes back into search

mode to minimize energy consumption from the battery bank. In “Power saver on” mode, the
inverter will draw power mainly in sensing moments, thus the idle consumption is signicantly

reduced.
The inverter is factory defaulted to detect load for 250ms in every 3 seconds. This power

sensing can be customized to “Unit o󰀨 charging” via the SW3 on DIP switch.

When in the search sense mode, the green power LED will blink and the inverter will make a tick­ing sound. At full output voltage, the green power LED will light steadily and the inverter will make

a steady humming sound. When the inverter is used as an “uninterruptible” power supply the

search sense mode function should be defeated.

Exceptions

Some devices when scanned by the load sensor cannot be detected. Small uorescent lights are

the most common example. (Try altering the plug polarity by turning the plug over.) Some comput­ers and sophisticated electronics have power supplies that do not present a load until line voltage
is available. When this occurs, each unit waits for the other to begin. To drive these loads either
a small companion load must be used to bring the inverter out of its search mode, or the inverter
may be programmed to remain at full output voltage.

12

The Auto Power Inverter Charger is equipped with extensive protections against various harsh situ­ations/faults.
These protections include:
AC Input over voltage protection/AC Input low voltage protection
Low battery alarm/High battery alarm
Over temperature protection/Over load protection
Short Circuit protection (1s after fault)
Back feeding protection

When Over temperature /Over load occur, after the fault is cleared, the master switch has to be
reset to restart the inverter.
The Low battery voltage trip point can be customized from defaulted value of 10VDC to 10.5VDC
through the SW1 on the DIP switch.

The inverter will go to Over temp protection when the heat sink temp. ≥105ºC(221ºF), and will go
to Fault (shutdown Output) after 30 seconds. After temp drops to 90ºC(194ºF), the switch has to be

reset to activate the inverter.
The Inverter is with back feeding protection which avoids presenting an AC voltage on the AC input
terminal in Invert mode.
After the reason for fault is cleared, the inverter has to be reset to start working.

V. Protections

13

The Inverter can also be switch on/o󰀨 through the “RMT SW” pin in the right of AC terminal.

They inverter will be powered on once a +12Vdc (acceptable range 10-16Vdc) source is con-

nected to the PIN, and powered o󰀨 when the +12Vdc source is disconnected(if the switch panel
is in “Unit o󰀨” position).
The 12Vdc remote start is with the same priority as “Power saver o󰀨”.

Whichever rst switches from “Unit O󰀨” to “Power saver o󰀨” or “Power saver on”, it will power
the inverter on. If the commands from these sources conict, the inverter will accept command

DIP Switches

On the DC end of inverter, there are ve DIP switches which enable users to customize the

performance of the device. *Factory Default

Battery/AC Priority AC Priority* Battery Priority

Low Battery Trip Point (SW1):

Deep discharge of the lead acid battery leads to high losses in capacity and early aging. In di󰀨er­ent applications a di󰀨erent low voltage disconnection level is preferred. For example, for applica-

tions, user may intend to have less DOD to prolong the battery life cycle. While for mobile appli­cations users may intend to have more DOD to reduce battery capacity and on board weight.
*2 for 24VDC, *4 for 48VDC

AC Input Range (SW2):

There are di󰀨erent acceptable AC input ranges for di󰀨erent kinds of loads.

For some relatively sensitive electronic devices, a narrow input range of 100-135Vis required to
protect them.
While for some resistive loads which work in a wide voltage range, the input AC range can be
customized to 90-135V for 120Vac models, this helps to power loads with the most AC input
power without frequent switches to the battery bank.
In order to make the inverter accept dirty power from a generator, when the SW2 is switched to

position “1”, the inverter will bypass an AC input with a wider voltage and frequency (40Hz plus

for 50Hz/60Hz). Accordingly, the AC charger will also work in a wider voltage and freq range
(43Hz plus for 50Hz/60Hz).
This will avoid frequent switches between battery and generator. But some sensitive loads will

su󰀨er from the low quality power.

The pros and cons should be clearly realized.

Power Save Override ON/OFF (SW3):

Under the Battery Priority Mode (SW5 in position “1”), the inverter can be switched between two
modes: Power Saver Mode (SW3 in position “1”) and Unit O󰀨 Charging Mode (SW3 in position
“0”). The power Switch should be in “Power saver on” position all the time for using these func-

tions. In Power Saver Mode, the inverter is initially in standby mode and sends a pulse to detect
the presence of a load every 3 seconds. Each pulse lasts for 250ms. The inverter will remain in
standby mode until a load has been detected. Then it will wake up from standby mode and start to
invert electricity from the battery bank to supply the load. As this function is under Battery Priority,

the inverter will always prefer to invert electricity from battery rst even there is a qualied AC input

present. Only when the battery voltage is lower than the low voltage alarm point, will the inverter
switch to AC input power to charge the battery and supply the load at the same time.

This Power Saver Mode can be changed to Unit O󰀨 Charging mode via SW3 by switching it to “0”
position (SW5 still in “1”). “Unit O󰀨 Charging” will enable the inverter charger to charge batteries
as much as possible while without discharging them. In “Unit O󰀨 Charging” mode, the inverter will

stay in standby mode without sensing loads. It won’t output any power even if a load is turned on,

and only stay idle in this mode when there is no AC input.When a qualied AC input is present, it

will start charging the battery and transfer power to loads.This feature is ideally suitable for appli­cations where energy conservation for batteries is required. Charging will be activated once qual-

ied AC exists, while discharging is disabled.
The inverter only consumes as little as 3 watts in “Unit O󰀨 Charging” mode.

Output Frequency(SW4):

The output frequency of the inverter can be set at either 50Hz or 60Hz by SW4 which make the
inverter charger an international models for most electricity systems.

AC/Battery Priority (SW5):

The Auto Power Inverter Charger is designed with AC/Battery priority switch (DIP switch #5).

Switch the battery priority selector to Position “0” for AC priority mode, Position”1” for battery
priority mode. In AC priority mode, when AC input is present, the battery will be charged rst, and

the inverter will transfer the input AC to power the load. Only when the AC input is stable for a
continuous period of 15 days will the inverter start a battery inverting cycle to protect the battery.
After 1 normal charging cycle ac through put will be restored.
When you choose battery priority, the inverter will invert from battery despite the AC input.
When the battery voltage reaches the low voltage alarm point which is (0.5Vdc for 12V, 1Vdc

for 24V, 2V for 48Vdc) higher than “Low Battery Trip Point”, the inverter will transfer to AC input,

charge battery, and switch back to battery when the battery is fully charged. This function is main­ly for wind systems using utility power or generator as back up.

The AC/Battery Priority function can be activated by sliding the switch even when the inverter is in
operation.

Note: In battery priority mode, when qualied AC inputs for the rst time and the battery
voltage is below 12.5Vdc, the inverter will rst carry out a cycle of bulk charging and ab­sorb charging, the inverter will not go into oat charging mode.
Choosing the battery type selector to “0” will disable the built-in battery charger while

still allow transfer through. When battery charger is disabled, if the battery is charged by
external DC power to 13.5Vdc, the inverter will go to battery priority mode again.

18

XII. Auto Generator Start

The inverter can start up generator when battery voltage goes low.
When the inverter goes to low battery alarm, it can send a signal to start a generator and turn the

generator o󰀨 after battery charging is nished.

The auto gen start feature will only work with generators which have automatic starting capability.
The generator must have start and stop controls [i.e., an electric starter and electric choke (for
gasoline units)], and the safety sensors to be able to start and stop automatically.
There is an open/close relay (constant open) that will close and short circuit the positive and neg­ative cables from a generator start control. The input DC voltage can vary, but the max current
the relay can carry is 16 Amp.
The Auto Generator Start terminal pins are not polarized.

In addition, these two pins can also be used as dry contacts to send out “Low Battery Voltage”

signal to an external alarm device.
This AGS relay can also carry AC voltage within its capacity.
This inverter will skip the oat charging when it is set at battery priority mode, so that the genera­tor will no longer be kept running to maintain a small charge on the batteries

Battery Temperature Sensing

Applying the proper charge voltage is critical for achieving optimum battery performance and lon­gevity. The ideal charge voltage required by batteries changes with battery temperature.
The battery temperature sensor allows the charge controller to continuously adjust charge volt­age based on actual battery temperature.
Temperature compensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge
voltage as battery temperature varies.
The entire line are equipped with Battery Temperature Sensing for increased charging precision.
It sends precise information to the charger, which automatically adjusts voltage to help ensure full
battery charge depending on the ambient temperature of your battery installation.

When the battery voltage is over 40ºC(104°F), it will reduce the charging voltage by 0.1Vdc with

every degree of temperature rise.
We recommend that you install Battery Temperature Sensors on all banks to protect your batter­ies and to provide optimal charging of each bank.
The battery temperature sensor mounts on the side of a battery or any other location where the
precise temperature of battery can be detected such as battery mounting racks.

separate accessory. It comes
with 15’/5M cable.

Important: If the battery temperature is allowed to fall to extremely cold temperatures, the invert­er with a BTS may not be able to properly recharge cold batteries due to maximum voltage limits
of the inverter. Ensure the batteries are protected from extreme temperatures. For more detailed
technical information, please contact us.

Low Battery Voltage Recovery Start

After low battery voltage shut o󰀨 (10V for 12V model or 20V for 24V model or 40V for 48V model),

the inverter is able to restore to work after the battery voltage recovers to 13V/26V/52V(with pow-

er switch still in “On” position). This function helps to save the users extra labor to reactivate the

inverter when the low battery voltage returns to acceptable range in renewable energy systems.

Warning!

Never leave the loads unattended, some loads (like a Heater) may cause accidents in such
re. Nobody wants to return home, nding house surrounded by re trucks and naughty neigh­borhood kids toasting hot dogs against his house

Conformal Coating

The entire line of inverters have been processed with a conformal coating on the PCB, making it
water, rust, and dust resistant.
While these units are designed to withstand corrosion from the salty air, they are not splash proof

INSTALLATION

I. Location

Follow all the local regulations to install the inverter.
Please install the equipment in a location of Dry, Clean, Cool with good ventilation.

Battery terminal must be clean to reduce the resistance between the DC terminal and cable
connection. A buildup of dirt or oxidation may eventually lead to the cable terminal overheating

during periods of high current draw. Use a sti󰀨 wire brush and remove all dirt and corrosion from

the battery terminals and cables.

Reducing RF interference

To reduce the e󰀨ect of radiated interference, twist the DC cables. To further reduce RF interfer­ence, shield the cables with sheathing /copper foil / braiding.

Taping battery cables together to reduce inductance

Do not keep the battery cables far apart. In case it is not convenient to twist the cables, keep
them taped together to reduce their inductance. Reduced inductance of the battery cables helps
to reduce induced voltages. This reduces ripple in the battery cables and improves performance

and e󰀩ciency

WARNING

The torque rating range for DC terminal is 12.5NM-20.5NM(9.25-15.19 pound-foot),
and the suggested torque rating is 17NM(12.6 pound-foot). Over torquing may
cause the bolt to break.

Equipment Damage

The inverter is not reverse polarity protected. Reversing the battery polarity on the
DC input connections will cause permanent damage to the inverter which is not
covered under warranty. Always check polarity before making connections to the
inverter.

The inverter contains capacitors that may produce a spark when rst connected to
battery. Do not mount in a conned a battery or gas compartment.

Ensure the inverter is o󰀨 before disconnecting the battery cables, and that AC pow-

er is disconnected from the inverter input.

AC Wiring Recommendation

We recommend using 12 Awg wire to connect to the ac terminal block.
When in AC mode the AC input power will supply both the loads and AC charger, a thicker wire
gauge for AC Input is required. The wirings are UL458 compliant, please consult a qualied elec­trician or call our tech support if you are not sure about how to wire any part of your inverter.

III. Trouble Shooting Chart

The most common load of such kind is hair
dryer. If the noise comes from case.
Normally when loaded with inductive loads,

the magnetic eld generated by transformer

keeps attracting or releasing the steel case

at a specic frequency, this may also cause

noise.
This noise may also be generated the mo­ment a load is detected in the power saver
mode.
Reducing the load power or using an inverter
with bigger capacity will normally solve this
problem.The noise will not do any harm to
the inverter or the loads.
