Set Operating Mode Switch

•Switch to “AUTO/REMOTE” when you are using connected equipment. ADVANTAGE: Uninterruptible power supply. Provides battery backup power during blackouts or brownouts.

Note: When the switch is in the “AUTO/REMOTE” position, you can operate a user-supplied switch to transfer between battery-backup and charge-only modes. (See Remote Connector manual for more information.)

•Switch to “CHARGE ONLY” when you are not using connected equipment. (WARNING! APS will not provide battery backup!) ADVANTAGES: A) Continues to charge battery when power is present, and B) Turns OFF the APS’s inverter, preventing battery drain during blackouts or brownouts.

•Switch to “OFF” to completely turn off the APS and connected equipment or to reset the APS after it has shut down due to overload or overheating.

Switches

1.Operating Mode Switch (All models): This switch selects the APS operating mode (either “AUTO/REMOTE”, “OFF” or “CHARGE ONLY”). See “Set Operating Mode Switch”, pg. 11 to select the optimum setting for this switch.

2.“CONFIGURATION SWITCHES”—DIP Switch Group A (All models): These four switches must be set for the type of battery your APS will be connected to and the voltage points at which your APS will switch to battery power. See “Configuration”, pg. 5 to select the optimum settings for these switches.

3.“CONFIGURATION SWITCHES”—DIP Switch Group B (Select models only): These DIP Switches allow you to equalize the internal resistance of your battery’s cells and set the percentage of your model's maximum load at which the APS will limit battery charging. See “Configuration”, pg. 6 to select the optimum settings for these switches.
