Spartan Power SP-TS4500PLUS
User Manual
I.Application:
This power transfer controller allows for trouble-free operation of an inverter and AC
mains on the same circuit. The SP-TS4500PLUS switches automatically between
inverter power and AC mains while protecting the inverter against external voltage. In
addition, it offers the possibility to choose the battery power prior between the two
power sources.
II. Safety Instructions:
The following safety notes and hazard warnings serve not only for the protection of
the SP-TS4500PLUS but also for the protection of your health.
In case of property damage or personal injuries caused by improper handling or
non-observance of these operating instructions or the safety notes stated herein, the
warranty will expire. We assume no liability for any consequential damages.
1. For safety and technical approval reasons, the unauthorized conversion and/or
modification of the product is not permitted.
2. This power transfer controller is not a toy and must not be used by children! Please
ensure childproof operation and storage of the power transfer controller at any time.
Don’t leave packaging material heedlessly. It could become a hazardous toy for
children!
3. Check the power transfer controller and connection cables before starting operation.
If you detect any damages (e.g. transport damages) on the power transfer controller,
do not start operation. Damaged connection cables must be replaced immediately.
4. The power transfer controller may only be operated in a dry environment to avoid
getting humid or wet, otherwise there is a risk of life-threatening electrical shocks.
5. The use of the product under unfavorable environmental conditions must be
avoided under all circumstances.
Unfavorable environmental conditions include: ambient temperatures above 50℃,
flammable gases, solvents, vapors, dust, relative humidity in excess of 80%, and
moisture.
6. Do not use the switching station near ignition sources, open fire or other heat
sources (heating, gas stoves or strong solar radiation).
7. Service and repairs may only be carried out by authorized and qualified personnel.
Use only original spare parts for repair work. The use of any other spare parts may
lead to serious damage to property and personal injury!
III. Product Introduction:
This dual power transfer controller is used between an off-grid system and public
power. The controller is separately connected with public power, inverter, battery and
load. On the top of the controller, there is an on/off switch, please turn on the
controller after ensuring all cables are well connected.

IV. Product Display:
SP-TS4500PLUS
LCD interface:
1. LV-SW interface: setting the switching voltage function.
2. BAT-V interface: normal displaying battery voltage.
3. HV-SW interface: setting the recovery voltage.
4. 12V, 24V, 48V interface: displaying after the system identification.
5. LCD digital:
a. Battery voltage
b. Low voltage setting switching voltage

3
c. Low voltage recovery to set switching voltage
6. Right arrow shows low voltage switch to mains status.
7. Left arrow shows the low pressure is restored to the inverter state
8. LCD turns red when no function control display, fixed display after power on.
9. The battery icon is low voltage status.
10. Case buttons are: Add button, Function button,
Minus button.
a. The add button is only valid in setting voltage (0.1V per trigger).
b. The minus button is only valid in setting voltage (0.1V per trigger).
c. The function button has 3 kinds of independent display interface types: BAT-V
LV-SW, HV-SW. Pressing the button will cycle types. Default interface is BAT-V.
Without trigger signal in 10 seconds, it will restore to BAT-V interface.
d. When function setting display BAT-V interface, LCD digital displays actual
tracking battery voltage.
e. When function setting display LV-SW interface, LCD digital displays low-voltage
cut-off voltage (default value). You can press the add/minus buttons to modify the
default value. Press and hold the function button for 3 seconds to save the value. Then
the interface will restore to BAT-V interface.
f. When function setting display HV-SW interface, LCD digital displays low-voltage
recovery voltage (default value). You can press the add/minus buttons to modify the
default value. Press and hold the function button for 3 seconds to save the value. Then
the interface will restore to BAT-V interface.
g. LCD backlight. Without a pressed button within 60 seconds, the interface will go
dark.
V. Installation:
1. The installation should only be carried out by persons having relevant professional
skills. If there is any doubt, always contact an authorized expert.
2. Before installation, ensure that the inverter output as well as AC mains supply are
voltage free and equipped with a safety lock system to prevent unintentional start of
the power transfer controller.
3. The cross sections of the used cables must be selected and secured in compliance
within applicable law.
4. Ensure that the connection cables are connected properly and have good contact, as
loose contacts may cause smoldering fire.
5. Use the supplied cage clamps to connect the protective earth conductor on the
inverter.
6. If the inverter has no earth connection, the negative battery terminal must be
connected to the earth.

4
7. Do not connect the neutral conductor on the consumer side to earth or protective
earth conductor; as the consumer sockets in particular have no protective multiple
earthing (i.e. connection of PE-grounding wire with the neutral connector).
8. It is not permissible to use the power transfer controller for three-phase current.
9. After ensuring all the steps above, connect the controller separately with public
power, inverter, load and battery.
10. Turn on the switch after all the cables are well connected.
Attention:
1. The dual power transfer controller is simply a switch between off-grid power
system and public power, it can’t replace the charge controller in the off-grid system.
Connection Types:
This device can work with both a solar or wind system.
