* Notes:

1.Switches are located farthest from the battery temperature port. See diagram on page 3.

2.The switches must be set before the system is turned on.

3.Switch 2 sets the low battery voltage alarm level (at higher voltage setting, alarm will sound sooner).

4.Switch 3 sets the low-level AC-to-DC voltage point. If the AC input voltage decreases to below the setpoint, the inverter will automatically switch to DC MODE. See the following table for details.
