IP1012_AL.book Page 4 Tuesday, May 1, 2007 12:18 PM Introduction • Low voltage shutdown The inverter shuts off when your batteries reach a predetermined voltage set in the microprocessor to protect batteries from permanent damage. Low voltage shutdown also monitors frequency and voltage, and protects against overload, short circuits and over-temperature. • Automatic shutdown after 8 hours for loads less than 15 ±5 watts This feature prevents the inverter from draining the batteries if it

IP1012_AL.book Page 4 Tuesday, May 1, 2007 12:18 PM Operation Figure 2-1 shows the relationship between ambient temperatures and the length of time the unit will supply an output power level. Choose the curve with the temperature range most closely approximating that of the inverter/charger location, then look for the time in minutes. The intersection of the time and temperature will indicate approximately the output power of the unit. For example, between – 40 °F and 77 °F (-40 °C to 2
