This unit is a microprocessor controlled PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) pure sine wave based DC to AC power inverter utilizing IGBT technology. It integrates a fully automatic 3rate battery charger, a solid-state transfer system, control circuitry, self testing and recording digital meter display, and maintenance free sealed lead calcium type batteries. The system components are carefully matched to make the unit a completely self-contained, fully automatic standby power source for operation on all types of lighting loads. The batteries are sized and tested per UL-924 and Life Safety Code ANSI / NFPA 101, providing emergency power for a minimum of 90 minutes. If the duration of a power failure is greater than the batteries storage capability, the inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage reaches 85% of the nominal DC voltage. This feature protects the battery from being permanently damaged from a deep discharge that could cause cell reversal. This battery protection feature is called "Low Voltage Disconnect" or L.V.D. When the AC power is restored after a full discharge, the system will be ready for another power failure within 24hrs. If another power failure occurs before the 24-hour recharge time, the run time will be decreased. The front panel display incorporates an alphanumeric 2x20 LCD character display, LED status indicators and a 4 x 4 keypad. All user interface functions are available from the front panel assembly. Utilizing a small footprint, this unit is for use with any lighting load including quartz, HID, incandescent, fluorescent and halogen.

Storage Temperature Store the batteries (in the system or battery cabinet) at -18 to 40°C (0 to 104°F). Batteries have a longer shelf life if they are stored below 25°C (77°F). Keep stored batteries fully charged. Recharge the batteries every 90120 days. The system or battery cabinet without batteries may be stored at -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F). Ventilation The air around the unit must be clean, dust-free, and free of corrosive chemicals or other contaminants. Do not place the system or batteries in a sealed room or container. Operating Temperature System can operate from 20° to 30°C (68° to 86°F) and up to 95% relative humidity. The batteries' service life is longer if the operating temperature stays below 25°C (77°F). Batteries The temperature should be near 25°C (77°F) for optimum battery performance. Batteries are less efficient at temperatures below 18°C (65°F), and high temperatures reduce battery life. Typically, at about 35°C (95°F), battery life is half of what it would be at a normal temperature of 25°C (77°F). At about 45°C (113°F), battery life is one-fourth of normal. Make sure that heaters, sunlight, air conditioners, or outside air vents are not directed toward the batteries. These conditions can make the temperature within battery strings vary, which can cause differences in the batteries' voltages. Eventually, these conditions affect battery performance. If the batteries are not in the system, remember that the batteries should be installed as close as possible to the unit to reduce DC wiring costs and improve battery performance. Do not allow tobacco smoking, sparks, or flames in the system location because hydrogen is concentrated under the vent cap of each cell of the battery. Hydrogen is highly explosive, and it is hard to detect because it is colorless, odorless, and lighter than air. Every type of battery can produce hydrogen gas, even sealed maintenance-free batteries. The gas is vented through the vent caps and into the air, mainly when the unit is charging the batteries. The batteries produce the most hydrogen when maximum voltage is present in fully charged batteries; the batteries do not produce hydrogen during float charging. The amount of current that the charger supplies to the batteries (not the battery ampere-hour) determines how much hydrogen is produced. High Altitude Operation The maximum operating ambient temperature drops 1°C per 300m (2°F per 1000 ft) above sea level. Maximum elevation is 3000m (10,000 ft). 6 Chloride CH3-G2 User Manual C H A PTER3 Startup and Shutdown Procedure Refer to the Installation Manual to secure the unit and install AC and DC wiring. STARTUP PROCEDURE For the initial startup of the system, follow the instructions in the Startup and Warranty Validation Form. Failure to do so will void warranty. CAUTION: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ONLY QUALFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM PROCEDURE. 1. Verify that the installation switch located on the inverter chassis is in the OFF position. Verify that AC input is disconnected. 2. Press and hold the DC Pre-charge switch located on the inverter chassis for approximately five seconds and then install the battery fuse. If a large flash occurs, the batteries are not connected properly. Call service immediately. 3. Energize the Mains AC input by turning on the units input circuit breaker and/or the Distribution Panel breaker located upstream from the inverter. 4. Turn the installation switch to the On position. The Front Panel display should now be illuminated and a slight hum should be heard from the inverter transformer. The unit is now charging and the output should be energized. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE 1. Interrupt the AC Mains to the machine by the Distribution Panel Breaker or the machines input circuit breaker. The Inverter should then start. 2. Turn the installation switch located on the inverter chassis to the off position. The inverter should stop. 3. Disconnect the main battery fuse located on the inverter chassis. CAUTION: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES STILL EXIST AT THE BATTERY TERMINAL BLOCK AND WITHIN THE SYSTEM. AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIANS MUST DISCHARGE DC CAPACITORS AND TURN OFF UTILITY POWER BEFORE SERVICING EQUIPMENT. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE SYSTEM SHUTDOWN FOR A PROLONGED LENGTH OF TIME. LEAD BASED BATTERIES WILL EXPERIENCE PERMANENT DAMAGE FROM LACK OF CHARGING AFTER A FEW MONTHS. 7 Chloride CH3-G2 User Manual C H A PTER4 OPERATION The following is a description of the status LED's located on the front panel. AC Present When the AC Mains is present, the LED will illuminate. If a power failure was long in duration, or the AC mains was disconnected by some other means (Circuit breaker open) the AC Present LED would not be illuminated. When the control circuit senses that the line has dropped below an acceptable level (Black Out, Brown Out, or Transient), the inverter will energize for at least one minute. So, if the power failure was a momentary glitch, the AC present LED would be illuminated but the inverter would be running. System Ready When the system has adequate battery voltage to transfer, the System Ready LED will illuminate. This feature prevents damage from multiple deep discharges of the battery. Battery Charging When the AC Mains is connected to the line and the battery is charging under normal conditions, the Battery Charging LED will illuminate. Battery Power When the inverter is producing output power (battery is being discharged), the Battery Power LED will be illuminated. Fault This is a summary Fault indication. When there is a fault condition present, the Fault LED will illuminate. To view which fault is present, use the keypad and LCD display feature. The front panel display will provide the user with a variety of information. It has a full compliment of Meter functions, Control functions and Program functions. 8 Chloride CH3-G2 User Manual C H A PTER5 Front Panel Display The Front panel consists of a 2 x 20 alpha numeric LCD display with LED Back lighting, 5 Status LED indicators and a 4 x 4 keypad for user interface.
