EMIU 1500W Mini Inverter

 

  

a.   Unit can be configured for either 120V in // 120V out or 277V in // 277V out.
b. Power applied to the UNSWITCHED INPUT charges the batteries.
c. The SWITCHED INPUT can be configured to operate Normally-On, Normally-Off or Switched loads. 

d. Power supplied to the switched input must be fed from the same branch circuit as the unswitched input (see figure 2).

e. Unit is shipped from factory pre-set for 120V in // 120V out and configured for Normally-On load operation (see figure 2). This 

configuration can be changed to fulfill customer's application.   

f. In Normal AC mode, the load connected at the output is powered by the power applied to the SWITCHED INPUT. 
g. In Emergency mode, the load is powered by the battery through the inverter. The inverter converts the battery DC power to AC 

power. 

a.   Output voltage of the Mini Inverter can be configured for either 120VAC or 277VAC. 
b. Identify the terminal block TB1 located on the bottom of the electronic cabinet. 

c. Position of the red wire determines the voltage available at the output of the Mini Inverter. 

i. When the red wire is connected at the left terminal of TB1, the output voltage available will be 120VAC. 
ii. When the red wire is connected on the right terminal of TB1, the output voltage available will be 277VAC. 

d. Identify the voltage rating of all the loads to be powered by the Mini Inverter. 

i. If the voltage rating of the loads is 120VAC, connect the red wire to the left terminal of TB1.
ii. If the voltage rating of the loads is 277VAC, connect the red wire to the right terminal of TB1.     

a.   Connect the Ground wire to the Ground Bus Bar.
b. Identify the terminal block for UNSWITCHED INPUT (figures 5, 6 or 7). 
c. Connect the NEUTRAL wire to the NEUTRAL position of the UNSWITCHED INPUT terminal block.
d. Connect AC Line wire

i. 120V supply: connect AC line wire to the 120V position of the UNSWITCHED INPUT terminal block. 
ii. 277V supply, connect AC Line wire to the 277V position of the UNSWITCHED INPUT terminal block.
