INSTALLATION:
Before plugging in the model to an AC outlet, please make sure that the proper input
voltage is selected on the rear of the unit. Select 115V for 100/110/120 AC operation
or 230V for 200/220/240 AC operation. The factory default setting is 230V.
Then, connect your device to the LOAD terminal and connect a lead acid battery to
the BATTERY terminal, make sure the polarity of battery is correctly connected,
select WET for wet battery, GEL for GEL or AGM battery.
You may connect a solar panel or wind turbine to the BATTERY terminal at the same
time by connecting a solar panel or wind turbine controller to the battery terminals,
please make sure it is as the same polarity as battery.
Now, plug in the power cord to AC outlet, turn the PWR switch to the “ON” position.
Turn on your device now.
OPERATION:
The PS works as a DC UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or as a backup power
supply system. When AC power is applied normally, the model offers a regulated
48V DC output at LOAD terminal for devices and a charging current output on
BATTERY terminal for charging a lead acid battery at the same time. Once AC fails,
the battery will replace the AC to power the model immediately without interruption.
The LOAD terminal will remain at 48VDC output for a while till the battery voltage
reduces to lower than 40V, the duration time depends on the volume of the battery
and the size of the load. When AC returns, AC takes over the battery to power the
load automatically, and start to charge the battery.

If you connect a solar panel or wind turbine to the BATTERY terminal at the same
time, if AC failed, when the battery voltage lower than 40V, the LOAD output will
turn off, but if the output voltage of the solar panel or wind turbine is higher than the
battery voltage, the battery will be charged by the solar panel or wind turbine, when
the battery voltage is back to 51V, the LOAD output will recover automatically.
The maximum load of the PS is around 300W, which means 4A maximum DC output
on LOAD and 6A maximum charge current on BATTERY. If the load draws 4A
output, then the charge current will be limited to around 2A, if there is no load, then
charge current may be up to 6A maximum.
The output voltage on LOAD terminal is regulated at 48V±0.5V, with over voltage
protection, over current protection and short circuit protection.
The charge voltage for wet battery is 58V, floating voltage is 53V.
The charge voltage for gel battery is 56.8V, floating voltage is 54V
When the charger is in charging mode and charge current is more than 1.4A, the
CHG indicator light will be YELLOW, when charge current is lower than 1.0A, the
charger turns to maintenance mode, the CHG light is off and CHD light is GREEN.
All LED indicators will turn off when AC fails except BATT and battery type
indicator (WET or GEL).
If no battery is connected on BATTERY terminal, then there will be no output on the
terminal.
The cooling fan on the model will operate when the unit is turned on. The speed of
the fan varies depending on the temperature control circuit.

NOTICE:
1. DON’T CONNECT THE PS TO 12V OR 24V BATTERY. The PS was
designed for 48V system. Connection to the wrong battery will damage the PS.
2. THE AC SWITCH MUST BE TURNED OFF AT ANY TIME WHEN THE
BATTERY IS CHANGED.
3. Select the correct battery type on the panel, wrong selection will damage the
battery or it will not fully charge the battery. Do not change the battery type
selector when charging.
4. The model has a 6 amp AC input fuse inside of the unit. To replace the fuse you
should remove the old fuse by opening the case and replace it with a new 6 amp
fuse.
5. The cables for battery connection or device to the PS should be 18AWG min.
Please keeping the connect points clean to avoid spark or electrical leakage.
6. Use the proper voltage solar panel or wind turbine for the connection, no voltage
of over 72V.
7. When connecting a solar panel or wind turbine controller to the PS, please make
sure of the correct polarity.

PROTECTION DESCRPTION:
Battery Polarity Reverse Protection: when the battery polarity is reversed, the
BATT indicator light will display RED and the BATTERY and LOAD terminals will
terminate output. Battery reverse will not damage the model if the AC power is off.
The AC switch must be turned off at any time when the battery is changed. If AC is
on and the battery is disconnected, the PS polarity reverse protection is disabled, and
if the polarity is reversed, the fuse of the PS will be burnt, sometimes causing a spark.
Battery Low Voltage protection: When the AC is OFF or has failed, if the battery
voltage is lower than 40V±0.2V, the model will turn off the output on LOAD. When
AC returns or the battery voltage returns to 51V±0.2V, then the output on LOAD will
recover automatically.
Load Over Current Protection: the model will automatically shut down if the load
is over 4A. when the load is reduced, the PS will auto recover.
Load Over Voltage Protection: when the LOAD output is over 59V~63V, the PS
will turn off.
Load Short Circuit Protection: output terminal short circuit will not damage the PS,
it will be simply stop the output. When the short circuit status is removed, the LOAD
will recover immediately.
