2 Intr oduction Congratulations! Y ou’v e purchased the most adv anced, featur e-r ic h integrated inverter/charg er on the market. Y our APS powers connected equipment, switc hing manually or automaticall y from utility power to pow er inverted from an external batter y or batteries.
3 3-Stage Battery Charger Y our APS recharg es your battery faster than conventional c hargers because its three-stage charg er profile (Bulk, Absorption and Float) is optimized for the type of battery you use (W et or Gel).

5 Configuration Using a small tool, set the four “Battery T ype / V oltage P oint” Configur ation DIP Switches (located on the front panel of your APS); see Diagram 4, p.
6 Battery Selection Select a batter y or system of batteries that will provide your APS with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp hour capacity .* Select ‘Deep-Cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum performance from y our APS. Batteries of either W et-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell/Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction are ideal.
7 1. Make sure that your APS batteries have proper overcurrent protection. NEC article 551 requires that you install a r ecognized UL component fuse block and UL listed fuse within 18 inches of the batter y . The fuse’ s rating must equal or e xceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your APS model’ s specifications on page 13.
8 When figuring the power requirements of y our equipment, do not confuse “continuous” power r atings with “peak” power r atings. Electric motor s require more pow er to turn on (“peak power”) than they require to run continuously . “Peak” power ratings ar e usually 2 to 5 times “continuous” r atings.

Las baterías húmedas (ventiladas) o de g el / fibra de vidrio absorbido (selladas) son ideales.
20 1. Confir me que las baterías del APS cuenten con adecuada protección para sobrecargas de corr iente. El artículo NEC 551 requiere que usted instale un bloque de fusibles de componente UL reconocido y un fusible UL listado a 18 pulgadas de la batería.
21 Cuando calcule la demanda de energía de sus equipos, no confunda el índice de energía “continua” con el índice de energía “de cresta”. Cier tos motores eléctricos necesitan más energía para arrancar (“energía de cresta”) de lo que requier en para su operación continua.
