EVOLUTIONTM F Series Inverter/Charger
Pure Sine Wave Inverter, Adaptive Battery Charger, Transfer Relay – All in ONE unit.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Pure Sine Wave Inverter
- 6 programmable charging proles –
2, 3 and 4 stages with Equalization
- Use Lead Acid or Lithium Batteries
EVO-RC-PLUS
- GFCI & Hardwired models available
Adaptive Battery Charging
Option for Lead Acid Batteries
Algorithm monitoring in the Bulk Stage
assesses the battery’s condition. The
remaining charging stages are based on
the battery’s condition rather than a pre-set
charging time. Reduces excess charging time
and extends life of battery.
Synchronized Transfer
Zero transfer time when switching from
inverter to AC input source. When AC input
source comes on, the inverter synchronizes
with the incoming wave form and then
transfers instantly at zero crossing without
any interruption to the load.
High Surge Inverter
The inverter has a surge capability of 3X its
continuous power rating, allowing it to turn
on loads with high starting surge.
Active Power Boost
In addition to 3X surge on start up, inverter
loads can exceed the continuous power
output by the Power Boost Allowances
without triggering an overload fault. Get
150% for 30 seconds, 140% for 1 minute,
120% for 10 minutes or 110% for 30
minutes! There is no need to upsize to a
larger inverter/charger to handle a heavy
surge load, resulting in reduced costs.
Models
Available
Input for Solar Charge Controller
Connect a solar charge controller (up to 50A)
directly to the EVOTM through the Battery
Charger External DC Input (Solar Input).
External charging current is monitored to free
up more power from the grid to be available
to the load while charging. Also, when the
grid is not available, the batteries may still be
charging to extend user run time.
Online Mode
Use to prioritize Batteries/Inverter over the
grid. Ideal for those who want to operate
primarily on solar power even when grid
is available (when grid is costly). In Online
Mode, grid is only used as backup power
when batteries need charging.
Bullet Proof Intelligence
Multiple physical points of protection
monitoring are scanned up to 10,000 times
per second to detect adverse internal and
external conditions. When detected, the
unit will initiate a healthy shutdown before
any damage can be done, making the EVOTM
practically indestructible in the eld.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
-20°C to +60°C, -4°F to 140°F
Will operate below zero!
Temperature Controlled Cooling
2 internal fans are speed controlled based
on multiple temperature sensors. Reduces
unnecessary fan noise and energy consumption
by cooling only where and when needed.

Programmable Power Save Mode
Select sleep and wake up point based on
load power draw. Power consumption is < 8
Watts in Sleep Mode. Congurable so that
intermittent loads turn ON consistently from
power save mode – extends battery/inverter
run time during grid failure.
Programmable with EVO-RC-PLUS optional
remote control, sold separately.
