Select AC Sharing—OPTIONAL

Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or

generatorwhenchargingatitsmaximumrate.IfyourunitissupplyingitsfullACpowerratingtoitsconnectedheavyelectricalloadsatthe

same time as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-through utility

power.

To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, all APS Inverter/Chargers may be set to automatically limit the charger output. This keeps the sum

of the unit’s AC load and charge power within the circuit breaker rating. This charger-limiting function has two settings, allowing you to

reduce the charger’s draw lower and lower, as needed, if the AC input circuit breaker keeps tripping under the normal AC loads of devices you

have connected downline from the unit. The figures show how to set your DIP Switches for charger-limiting.

Set Battery Charging Amps—OPTIONAL

Check the nameplate for your unit’s high-

and low-charging amp options. By setting

on high charging, your batteries will charge

atmaximumspeed.Whensettingonlow
