switch delay our inverter gives the generator enough time to spin up. This will depend on the size of the
generator and rate of charge.
Generally, the Bulk Charging Current should be limited to 20% of the capacity of the battery bank. Higher
charging current may be used if permitted by the battery manufacturer.
Warning: Items of note not covered under warranty.
To set the charge current control switch, use a small jeweler’s style flat-head screwdriver
and gently turn to
avoid breakage due to over‐turning.
To guarantee the best performance of the built in AC charger, when the AC input is from a generator,
the standby generator should be of a least 50% higher capacity than the inverter. Example, if you are
using a 2000 watt inverter, the generator must be 3000 watt or larger. If using a 3000 watt inverter, the
generator must be 4500 watt or larger, an so on. If operating with an under-rated generator with
unqualified wave form may cause premature failure and is not covered under warranty.
2.5.3 Transfer
Swift Power Transfer
While in Standby Mode, the AC input of the inverter is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls
below the low AC voltage trip voltage (90VAC default setting for 120VAC), the inverter automatically
transfers back to the Invert Mode with minimum power interruption to your appliances – as long as the
inverter is turned on. The transfer from Standby Mode to Inverter Mode occurs in approximately 10
milliseconds. It is the same from Inverter Mode to Standby Mode. This transfer time is usually fast enough
to keep your equipment power up, thus our inverter can be used as a line interactive UPS.
Synchronized Power Transfer
When a load is transferred from inverter AC output to another backup AC source of power through the transfer
switch, there will be a finite interruption of power to the load for transfer to take place. A mismatch of phase
and frequency of the inverter AC output and the backup AC source in transfer is likely to damage the backup
AC source / a reactive load. With sophisticated circuitry design, our inverter will first lock on the frequency
and phase of the input shore power/generator power and make a smooth and safe transfer at the zero voltage
point of minimize the impact on the power modules.
Transfer Delay
There is a 15 second delay rom the time the inverter senses a continuously qualified AC is present at the input
terminals to when the transfer is made. This delay is built-in to provide sufficient time for a generator to spin-
up to a stable voltage and frequency 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.
2.5.4 Auto Frequency Adjust
The factory default configuration for inverters sold in the American market is 60Hz. If the output frequency
needs to be changed, this is done by putting in a valid input Power Source to the inverter’s input lines. Once
the inverter validates the input, the output will automatically change. NOTE: The inverter will oupt factory set
frequency of 60Hz controlled with DIP switch #4.
2.5.5 Power Saver
There are 2 different working statuses for the Global LF inverters:
“Power On” and “Power Off”.
When the power switch is in “Unit Off” position, the inverter is powered off.
