Battery Temperature Setting ‘bTM' (voltage adjustment from 25°C setting)
No Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) installed
There are three settings (Low, Normal, High) available for battery temperature setting.
• Setting to ‘Low’ temperature will compensate the charging voltage by +0.675V on GEL and Flooded
battery type and +0.525V on AGM battery type.
• Setting to ‘Nor’ will have no change to the selected charging voltage.
Setting to ‘HI’ temperature will compensate the charging voltage by -0.27V on GEL and Flooded battery
type and -0.21V on AGM battery type.
Optional Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) Installed (Part Number: BTS10K)
• If the temperature measured by the BTS is below 25°C, the charging voltage will be compensated with
+0.027V per °C on GEL and Flooded battery or +0.021V per °C on AGM battery.
• If the temperature measured by the BTS is above 25°C, the charging voltage will be compensated with
-0.027V per °C on GEL and Flooded battery or -0.021V per °C on AGM battery.
There is no voltage adjustment compensation when battery type of Lithium, Program or Power Supply is
selected.
Note: For 24V systems, all the voltages are doubled.
Flooded Battery Equalization Setting:
Equalization setting can only be set on Flooded batteries. Before the equalization begins, the unit will
automatically fully charge the battery first, followed by one hour of equalization. Consult and follow the
instruction provided by the battery manufacturer when performing the equalization process.
• Select ‘Eq’ under ‘Bulk/Absorption Voltage’ (AbS Voltage) setting.
• The unit will start a full flooded battery charging cycle first before the Equalization begins. The
Equalization Voltage is set to 15.8V and current is limited to 1/10 of the set Bulk Stage Charging Current.
• Display will show ‘Equ’ and the battery voltage during the Equalization period.
• The unit cannot determine when to terminate the equalization of the battery. A one-hour timeout is set as
a safety feature and requires the user to continually re-activate it as necessary after checking the
batteries manually.
• To terminate the Equalization process, change and save the battery type to other types like AGM, GEL
etc. and then change and save it back to the Flooded type battery.
Note: For 24V systems, all the voltages are doubled.
Battery Recharge Timer:
The charger will restart a full charging cycle automatically if the float stage is maintained for 7 days.
f) AC Source Circuit Breaker Function
AC Source Circuit Breaker Setting
120 Vac Models: Selectable Values: 30A, 20A, 15A (Default: 30A)
230 Vac Models: Selectable Values: 16, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4A (Default: 16A)
This setting limits the total AC current draw from the AC Source during the By-Pass Mode to avoid tripping
the AC Source Branch Breaker. The selected value has to be the same or smaller than the rating of the
AC Source Branch Breaker.
g) Manufacturing Factory Default Function
Factory Default Setting
Select ‘Yes’ to reset all the settings to the preset Factory Default settings.
Note: The setting for battery type is GEL. If another battery type is used, select Yes to set all the
parameter to factory default, then proceed to the battery type and make change to the new battery type.
h) Understanding of Ignition Start ON/OFF function
When the Inverter setting “INT” is set to Manual Backup mode “MbU”, providing +12V to the
Ignition Start port will turn ON the inverter and removing the +12V will turn OFF the inverter.
Use of the ‘Ignition Start’ port located on the main unit overrides the ‘Power’ On/Off functions of
both the Multi-Function Display and the ‘Power’ On/Off functions on the Main unit.
AC Load on Inverter
Although the Power Inverter can provide high surge power up to two times the rated output power,
some high surge loads like air conditioners, sump-pumps, heavy-duty motors, etc. may still trigger the
inverter protection system even though the load falls within the power rating of the inverter. A higher
power Inverter-Charger is required for these appliances.
