should be followed during installation and maintenance of the unit.
1-2. Use for intended purpose general safety precautions
he unit is constructed as per the applicable safety-technical guidelines.
 For the charging of lead acid batteries and the supply of user attached to these batteries, in
permanent systems.
 For the conversion of a DC voltage from a battery to and AC voltage.
 Do not expose the unit to rain, snow, spray or dust. o reduce the risk of fire hazard, do not cover
or obstruct the ventilation openings and. do not install the unit in a zero-clearance compartment.
 o avoid the risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that the existing wiring is in good electrical
condition; and that the wire size is not undersized.
Do not operate the unit with damaged or substandard wiring.

DC input
connector
Follow the instructions to connect the battery cables to the DC input terminals of the unit.
he cables should be as short as possible (less than 6 feet / 1.8 meters ideally) so that they
can handle the required current in accordance with the Electrical Codes and Regulations.
he size of the cable should be thick enough to limit the voltage drop to less than 2% when
carrying the maximum input current to prevent frequent low-input voltage warnings, and
shutdown. UVP (Under Voltage Protection) warning may result if there is excessive voltage
drop across the DC cables between the batteries and the unit. Increasing your DC cable
size will help improve the situation.
Batteries are capable of providing very large currents in case of short circuit. In case there
is a short circuit in the cable run between the batteries and the input terminals of the unit, it
will result in overheating / melting of the cables and consequent risk of fire and injury, to
prevent possibility of this hazard, use Very Fast Acting DC Fuse in line with the positive
cable. he fuse should be as close to the positive battery terminal as possible.
he following sizes of cables and fuses are recommended for up to 6 ft. distance between
the batteries and the unit.

4. System Function Introduction
he LSC12-2000 is a battery charger, a pure sine wave inverter and an AC transfer system in one compact
enclosure. 1. he three-step charging function guarantees that the batteries are always charged 100%
(User-selectable). 2. he pure sine wave inverter assures that the AC output voltage is perfectly reliable
even when limited external AC power is available. 3. External AC power can be supplied by a public grid or
a generator. 4. DC power can be delivered by charged batteries.
4-1. Battery charger introduction
he LSC12-2000 can connect to three types of batteries (default setting is Flooded), and user can
adjust the parameters by dip switch to meet battery charging characteristics.
he following table shows some battery type charging setting.
Battery Type Stage LiFePO4 AGM Flooded
@12VDC @12VDC @12VDC
Bulk Voltage 14.4VDC 14.4VDC 14.2VDC
Absorption Voltage 14.4VDC 14.3VDC 14.1VDC
Float Voltage 14.0VDC 13.6VDC 13.2VDC
Table 14 ： Battery type charging setting I
4-1-1. Battery charging function description
he LSC12-2000 is equipped with a PFC (Power Factor Corrected) and PI (Proportional-Integral)
multistage battery charger. he PFC feature controls the amount of power used to charge the batteries
to obtain a power factor as close as possible to 1 (or unity). his causes the battery charger to look like
a resistor to the line (forces the charge current wave shape to mirror the voltage wave shape). he PI
feature allows the charger voltage and current to change independently. hese two features maximize
the real power available from the AC power source (i.e., utility or generator), which translates into less
power wasted and greater charging capabilities than most chargers today. When an AC source is
connected to the AC input, the inverter begins monitoring for acceptable AC voltage. Once the AC
voltage is accepted, the AC transfer relay closes the charge mode begins. After the charge mode
begins, the inverter’s battery voltage is monitored to determine the charging stage. he charger will
skip the Bulk and Absorb charge stages and go directly to Final charging. However, if the incoming AC
power is lost and returns within 2 minutes the charge mode returns to the charge stage it was in prior to
losing AC input—regardless of the battery voltage.
he LSC12-2000 three stages include an automatic 3-stage charging process: Bulk, Absorb, and Float
Charge. he automatic 3-stage charge process provides complete recharging and monitoring of the
batteries without damage due to overcharging. If the AC input voltage falls below 90 VAC the charger
will stop charging to help stabilize the incoming AC voltage. he Charge mode provides up to three
separate charging stages: Bulk Charging, Absorb charging and Float Charge.
Fig. 9 ： Three step charge system

16
Fig. 10 ： Charge characteristic o three-step plus charging method
4-1-2. Bulk charging
his is the initial stage of charging. While bulk charging, the charger supplies the battery with controlled
constant current. he charger will remain in bulk charge until the absorption charge voltage
(determined by the Battery ype selection) then switches to absorption charging.
4-1-3. Absorb charging
his is the second charging stage and begins after the absorb voltage has been reached. Absorb
charging provides the batteries with a constant voltage and reduces the
DC charging current in order to maintain the absorb voltage setting then switches to final charging.
4-1-4. Float charging
he third charging stage occurs at the end of the absorb charging time. While final charging, the charge
voltage is reduced to the final charge voltage (determined by the Battery ype selection*). In this stage,
the batteries are kept fully charged and ready if needed by the inverter. he Float Charging stage
reduces battery gassing, minimizes watering requirements (for flooded batteries), and ensures the
batteries are maintained at optimum capacity.
4-2. Operation mode introduction
he LSC12-2000 is not just a combination of an inverter and a battery charger. here are many
additional features which can be used to increase the total available AC power, even when external AC
power is limited.
4-2-1. Basic operation description
When there is no external “AC input” power available, the inverter of the unit provides AC power output
load from the batteries.
When external AC power comes available, the transfer relay switches on. Both outputs as well as the

17
battery charger are supplied by the external AC power. he batteries are recharged now.
4-2-2. Power Support function
With the adjustable AC input current limit function, Power Support function of the LSC12-2000 inverter
will trigger OLP (over-load protection) when the output power is over loaded. It can protect the input
AC power device such as the utility or generator power system.
CAUTION
For safety unit the transfer relay is immediately switched off when incoming AC power fails
in operation so that there will never be a high voltage on the shore cable inlet when it is
not connected.
