Refer to the simplified block diagram, Figure 1, for a system description. The AC source is rectified and provides energy for the DC + Choppers and a float charge to the optional standby Battery. These DC Choppers then supply the power to operate the DC/AC Inverter. The inverter provides a new clean sinewave output at the factory configured output frequency.

CHAPTER 5 OPERATION The FALCON ® ED unit is very simple to use. 1. Verify the unit is connected to the correct voltage power source. 2. Activate the power switch to the "ON" position. 3. The green AC LED illuminates. 4. The green INV LED illuminates. 5. For frequency conversion models, verify the output frequency is set to the desired frequency using a frequency meter. Disregard the following steps 6-11. 6.
To escape this condition, the problem must first be corrected then turn the ED power switch "OFF", then back "ON". For models supplied with batteries it is recommended that you leave the ED unit power switch "ON" at all times and switch your devices "OFF" individually. This will ensure that your batteries are always at a maximum charged state. WARNING The power switch acts as a system ON/OFF switch.
