ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to provide explanations and procedures for installing, operating and
troubleshooting for the unit. This manual should be read carefully before installations and operations.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
Scope
This document defines the functional requirements of the unit, intended for worldwide use in electronic
processing equipment. All manuals are applicable under all operating conditions when installed in the End
Use system, unless otherwise stated.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep
this User Guide for future reference.
General Precautions
1. Before using the unit, read all instructions and cautionary markings on:
(1) The unit (2) the batteries (3) all appropriate sections of this manual.
2. CAUTION --To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid type rechargeable batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
3. Do not expose the unit to rain, snow or liquids of any type. The unit is designed for indoor use only.
Protect the unit from splashing if used in vehicle applications.
4. Do not disassemble the unit. Take it to a qualified service center when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
5. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off the unit will not reduce this risk.
6. CAUTION --Battery are not already installed by the supplier only a qualified professional (e.g. service
person) may install the Inverter.
7. WARNING: WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. Provide ventilation
to outdoors from the battery compartment. The battery enclosure should be designed to prevent
accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas in “pockets” at the top of the compartment. Vent the
battery compartment from the highest point. A sloped lid can also be used to direct the flow to the vent
opening location.
8. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
9. No terminals or lugs are required for hook-up of the AC wiring. AC wiring must be no less than 12 AWG
gauge copper wire and rated for 75oC or higher. Battery cables must be rated for 75oC or higher and
should be no less than table 1. Crimped and sealed copper ring terminal lugs with a 5/16 hole should
be used to connect the battery cables to the DC terminals of the unit. Soldered cable lugs are also
acceptable.
10. Be extra cautious when working with metal tools on, or around batteries. The potential exists to drop a

tool and short-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts resulting in sparks that could cause an
explosion.
11. No AC or DC disconnects are provided as an integral part of this unit. Both AC and DC disconnects
must be provided as part of the system installation. See INSTALLATION section of this manual.
12. Fuses (F40AL, 32VDC*6) are provided as the over current protection of the battery supply.
13. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS -This battery charger should be connected to a grounded permanent
wiring system. For most installations, the Ground Lug should be bonded to the grounding system at one
(and only one point) in the system. All installations should comply with all national and local codes and
ordinances.
14. AVOID AC output short-circuit; avoid DC input short-circuit and do not connect the mains while DC
input short-circuit
15. Warning: The maintenance information is only to service persons
Personal Precautions
1. Someone should be within range of your voice to come to your aid when you work near batteries.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near
batteries. Wash your hands when done.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eyes,
immediately flood eyes with running cool water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
5. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. Keep a supply on hand in the area of the
batteries.
6. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery or generator.
7. Be extra cautious when working with metal tools on, and around batteries. Potential exists to
short-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts which may result in a spark which could cause an
explosion.
8. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with
battery. Battery can produce short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the like, to metal
causing severe burns.
9. If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit and/or
disconnect the generator from its starting battery while servicing to prevent accidental starting during
servicing.
