4.2.1 Equalization charging
Before you program the Inverter 1600 Pro for
Equalization-charge you must check with your supplier
that the batteries are suitable for this process.
Equalization is recommended for the lead-acid batteries
in order to mix well the electrolyte fl uid and to clean the
lead plates.
Equalization mode should never be used when using
Gel-Batteries.
If the Inverter 1600 Pro is operating with a lead-acid
battery, which is suitable for equalization, the slide
switch „Equalize" which is on the cable connection
side, must be placed in the ON po-sition. In this setting,
at every 25 charge cycles an equalization cycles is
carried out for 20 min-utes (factory setting). During
such a charge cycle the LED
with equaliza-tion can be started independently of the
actual program. For this the slide switch must be slid
from "OFF" to the "ON" position. The LED
up. If the periodic equalization is not re-quired, slide
switch must be slid back to the „OFF" position after the
completion of the manual cycle.

4.2.3 Charging current
The maximum charging current for the battery can
be adjusted with the Turning Knob
The charging current of the battery should be set to
approximately 10 – 20% of the battery capacity (at C10).
This means that the charging current for a battery with
200Ah should be set between 20 – 37A.
Caution!
In no cases the Inverter 1600 Pro will limit
the current from the source.
The source should be sized in order to
supply all active connected appliance plus
the charging current of Inverter 1600 Pro.
In charging mode, the Inverter 1600 Pro is acting as a
consumer (load) like any other connected load to the
grid or the generator. His consumption should be added
to the consumption of every active consumer connected
at the AC output of the Inverter 1600 Pro. The maximum
used current used by the charger is limited to 6A. This
mean that the minimum required current from the source
is 6A or greater. If that's not the fact, the charging
current should be diminished proportionally.
For instance, a 3A source will required to adjust the
charging current to half of the max. value. In order to
insure a perfect functionality of the overall system with
a generator as AC source, this one should be at least
1500VA.
4.3 The Transfer system
When an ac voltage is at the input AC IN of the Inverter
1600 Pro, the LED AC IN is lit. When this voltage
is higher than 200Vac, and the frequency is between
44Hz and 65Hz, this voltage is switched directly to the
battery charger and to the output AC OUT. The LED
TRANSFER on optional Remote Control Pro is lit. The
inverter is switched off and the battery charger switched
on. This process is automatic, unless the charger mode
or the transfer mode is disabled.
The maximum current of the Transfer switch is 16A. That
means through this system, consum-ing appliances up
to a maximum of al 3700 Watt can be operated. When
the Battery Charger is working, part of this power is
used for charging the battery.
