Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points—OPTIONAL
(Not on 612 Models)
“Most Limiting” (#B2 & #B1 Up):
Charger-limiting takes effect the moment
any 120V AC load is applied; charger out-
put falls gradually from full output at no
120V load passing through to no output at
full load.
“Less Limiting” (#B2 Up & #B1 Down,
factory setting for RV1012UL models):
Charger-limiting begins when the
Inverter/Charger’s load reaches 33% of the
Inverter/Charger’s load rating. Charger
output falls gradually from full output at 33% of the
Inverter/Charger’s load rating to about 40% of full output at full load.
“Least Limiting” (#B2 Down & #B1 Up,
factory setting for all models except
RV1012UL):
Charger-limiting begins
when the Inverter/Charger’s load reaches
66% of the Inverter/Charger’s load rating.
Charger output falls gradually from full output at 66% of the
Inverter/Charger’s load rating to about 40% of full output at full
load.
“No Limiting” (#B2 & #B1 Down): No
charger-limiting occurs at any load size.

* NOTE! RV612UL & RV612ULH models do not include these DIP Switches. There are only two limiting points available for RV1012UL models—"Most Limiting" and "Less Limiting"—which
are determined solely by the position of the B1 DIP Switch (either up or down). The B2 DIP Switch on these models has no effect.

Select Load Sharing—OPTIONAL (Not on 612 Models)
Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or
generator when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the
same time as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-through utility power.
To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, all RV Inverter/Chargers (except models RV612UL and RV612ULH) may be set to automatically limit
the charger output. This keeps the sum of the unit’s AC load and charge power within the circuit breaker rating. This charger-limiting func-
tion has four settings, allowing you to reduce the charger’s draw lower and lower, as needed, if the AC input circuit breaker keeps tripping
under the normal AC loads of devices you have connected downline from the unit. The figures show how to set your DIP Switches to deter-
mine how heavy the connected load can be on your Inverter/Charger before charger-limiting begins.

* Most of your connected appliances and equipment will perform adequately when your Inverter/Charger’s High AC Input Voltage Point (DIP Switch #2 of Group A) is set to 135V and its Low AC Voltage Input Point (DIP Switches #3 and #4 of Group A or DIP Switch #3 for
612 models) are set to 95V. However, if the unit frequently switches to battery power due to momentary high/low line voltage swings that would have little effect on equipment operation, you may wish to adjust these settings. By increasing the High AC Voltage Point and/or
decreasing the Low AC Voltage Point, you will reduce the number of times your unit switches to battery due to voltage swings.
Set Battery Charging Amps Type—OPTIONAL
Check specifications on for your unit’s high- and low-charging
amp options. By setting on high charging, your batteries will
charge at maximum speed and your RV 12V DC system loads
will be well-supplied. When setting on low charging, you
lengthen the life of your batteries (especially smaller ones).
