ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to provide explanations and procedures for installation, operation and
troubleshooting. This manual should be read carefully before installation and operation.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
Scope
This document defines the functional requirements of the inverter/charger, which is intended for
worldwide use in electronic data processing applications. 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 inverter/charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on:
The inverter/charger.
The batteries.
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 inverter/charger to rain, snow or liquids of any type. The inverter/charger is
designed for indoor use only. Protect the inverter/charger from splashing if used in vehicle
applications.
4. Do not disassemble the inverter/charger. 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 inverter/charger will not reduce this risk.
6. WARNING: WORKING IN THE 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.
7. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

8. No terminals or lugs are required for hook-up of the AC wiring. AC wiring must be no less than
10 AWG gauge copper wire and rated for 75
o
C or higher. Battery cables must be rated for 75oC or
higher and should be no less than as stated in 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
inverter/charger. Soldered cable lugs are also acceptable.
9. 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.
10. No AC or DC disconnects are provided as an integral part of this inverter/charger. Both AC and
DC disconnects must be provided as part of the system installation. See INSTALLATION section
of this manual.
11. No over current protection for the battery supply is provided as an integral part of this
inverter/charger. Over current protection of the battery cables must be provided as part of the
system installation. See INSTALLATION section of this manual.
12. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - This inverter/charger should be connected to a grounded
permanent wiring system. For most installations, the Ground Lug should be bonded to the
grounding system at ONLY one in the system. All installations should comply with all national
and local codes and ordinances.
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 neutralises 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 the vicinity of a battery or generator.
7. Be extra cautious when working with metal tools on and around batteries. The potential exists to
short-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts which may result in a spark that could in turn
cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
battery. A battery can produce short-circuit currents high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing severe burns.
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.
