1. General Safety Instruction
1.1 Safety Instruction
As dangerous voltages and high temperature exist within the LMP1218-PWM Master Power Unit,
only qualified and authorized maintenance personnel are permitted to open and repair it. Please
make sure the unit is turned off before open and repair it.
This manual contains information concerning the installation and operation of LMP1218-PWM
Master Power Unit. All relevant parts of the manual should be read prior to commencing the
installation. Please follow the local stipulation meantime.
Any operation against safety requirement or against design, manufacture, safety standard, and are
out of the manufacturer warranty.
1.2 General Precaution
1) Do not expose to dust, rain, snow or liquids of any type，it is designed for indoor use. DO NOT
block off ventilation, otherwise the LMP1218-PWM Master Power Unit would be overheating.
2) To avoid fire and electric shock，make sure all cables selected with right gauge and being
connected well. Smaller diameter and broken cable are not allowed to use.
3) Please do not put any inflammable goods near to this unit.
4) Never place this unit directly above batteries, gases from a battery will corrode and damage
LMP1218-PWM Master Power Unit.
5) Do not place battery over LMP1218-PWM Master Power Unit.
1.3 Precaution regarding battery operation
1) Use plenty of fresh water to clean in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes and consult
with doctor as soon as possible.
2) The battery may generate flammable gas during charging. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or
flame in vicinity of a battery.
3) Do not put the metal tool on the battery, spark and short circuit might lead to explosion.
4) REMOVE all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while
working with batteries. Batteries can cause short-circuit current high enough to make metal melt,
and could cause severe burns.

3.2 Battery Charger of Auxiliary Battery
The charger automatically starts when the appropriate qualified power is connected, either from grid,
generator. With multiple charging stages (soft start-bulk absorption float-recycle), LMP1218-PWM is
designed to fully charge battery quickly. To guarantee the optimal charging for batteries of different
states, the LMP1218-PWM features Microprocessor-controlled charging algorithm. The Float and
Recycle charging programs guarantees the battery being charged properly upon being connected
for a longer period.
