Output protection—Apex generators sense and employ several parameters for protection
    Reflected power limit 20% of maximum forward power for units rated for less than 5,500 W. 1,000 W for 5,500 W units. (PIN position 2 defines the maximum forward power rating for the unit)

    Low/high line bus Bus voltage outside spec window—latching alarm LED
    Over-temperature Over-temp condition—latching alarm LED preceded by non-fault warning (user setting)
    Output power range All generators except the HALO will allow setpoints between 1% and 100% of full scale. The exception is the HALO 1.5k generator depicted by “L” in position 2 of the PIN number. This allows setpoints from 5 W to 1,500 W
