Operation

If the AC Charger goes into an over temperature shutdown condition, the 40 A setting will automatically change to 10 A to reduce the charging current. The charging current will change back to 40 A when the unit cools to an acceptable temperature.

Important:

When Charger is set to 40 A or 10 A, Battery Level will flash between battery voltage and 'FUL' when it reaches Float Mode or Off Mode. Otherwise it shows measured battery voltage.

When AC Charger is set to 0 A, Battery Level shows measured battery voltage.

Connecting AC Loads

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

Never insert the AC input cord into the AC outlets on the front of the PowerHub 1800 when the batteries are connected. This can damage the unit and will void the warranty.

Continuous AC loads of 1440 watts (12 A) can be connected and run from the PowerHub 1800 through the four AC outlets on the front panel.

Important: Know your loads. Use the formula below to help determine the watts of the load if only amp ratings are provided with the appliance.

Volts x Amps = Watts

Maximum watts available for continuous use on the PowerHub 1800 = 1440 W

Maximum amperage available for AC loads is 12 A.

120 V x 12 A = 1440 W

In case of an Overload Shutdown....

Exceeding 1800 watts will cause the unit to display an overload error code and the unit will shut down.

In the event of an overload shutdown, remove the loads that are connected to the PowerHub and turn the power OFF, then back ON.

If the unit is hardwired to a sub-panel, it will also be necessary to check the circuit breaker in the sub-panel.

In the event of an overload shutdown, if charge settings had been changed to 10 A or 0 A prior to the shutdown, the charging parameters will have to be reset. Otherwise, the unit will default back to the 40 A profile.
