INTRODUCTION
This owner's manual describes the
Fleet Power Inverter/Chargers from Heart
Interface. These units perform three distinct
functions:
1. DC to AC power inverting.
2. Automatic transfer switching between
inverter power and incoming AC power.
3. Automatic 3-Stage Battery charging plus
manual battery equalizing.
4. AC to DC power converter.
• The inverters provide regulated 120 Volt
AC power and crystal controlled frequency
at 60Hz from a deep cycle battery bank in
specified watts:
FP 1000-12................1000 watts
FP 2000-12................2000 watts
FP 2500-12................2500 watts
The output is a modified sinewave and
is compatible with appliances, tools and
other 120 VAC equipment. Momentary
surge power of three times the inverter
rating is available for starting electric mo-
tors. High efficiency insures the longest
possible battery life between recharges.
• The transfer switch allows the Fleet Power
Inverter/Chargers to be connected to an
external AC source and transfer the source
through to the loads. When disconnected,
the transfer switch allows automatic switch-
ing back to the inverter.
Fleet Power Inverter/Chargers operate
as self-contained backup power systems,
just add batteries.
• Fleet Power battery chargers are electroni-
cally controlled and rated:
FP 1000-12..................50 Amps DC
FP 2000-12................100 Amps DC
FP 2500-12................130 Amps DC
They are designed to rapidly and optimally
recharge either wet* or gel* cell deep-cycle
batteries. Battery charging is accomplished
in 3 automatic stages: Bulk Charge, Accep-
tance Charge and Float Charge. In addition,
using the remote control, a manually-en-
gaged Equalizing Charge cycle is possible.
With an external AC source connected,
the Fleet Power charger also serves the
functions of a AC to DC converter to supply
all of the DC loads which are connected to
the battery.
Simple, automatic operation is made
possible by the microprocessor in the Fleet
Power Inverter/Chargers. In most cases, the
unit is left on and no attention or mainte-
nance is required.
