Set Configuration DIP Switches
Using a small tool, set the Configuration DIP Switches
(located on the front panel of your unit, see diagram) to
optimizeInverter/Chargeroperation depending on your
application. Warning:Make sure the unit is turned

Note: The Inverter/Charger’s default transfer time setting is 1 cycle, which provides
optimal protection for standard loads in areas with frequent outages. If you will use
the Inverter/Charger to support computers or other sensitive electronic equipment
loads, set the transfer time to ½ cycle (switch #2 UP) to ensure uninterrupted operation
when the Inverter/Charger transfers to battery power.

Switch this DIP switch to the down position for 3 seconds to begin the
process of equalizing the charge state of your battery’s cells by
time-limited overcharge of all cells. This can extend the useful life of
certain types of batteries; consult with your battery’s manufacturer to
determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge
equalization process is automatic; once started, it can only be stopped
by removing the input power.
Setting Procedure
• Move to “Equalize” (DOWN) postition for 3 seconds.
• Move to “Reset” (UP) postition and leave it there. This is the factory default setting.
CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #6 in the down position after beginning process. Battery charge
equalization should only be performed in strict accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions
and specifications.
CAUTION: When switching to the High Charge Amp setting, the user
must ensure that the amp hour capacity of their battery system exceeds
the amperage of the High Charge Amp setting or the batteries may be
damaged or degraded.
