Bolero Manual
•
Do Not Connect 240V AC or any other power source to the 240V output of the inverter as this may cause irreparable damage
to the inverter.
•
If you need to switch from Inverter to Generator or Shore Power it is absolutely critical that you install a double-pole “Break
before Make” changeover switch, switching both active and neutral between the inverter and the incoming AC supply. A
manual switch is preferred.
Installation
The following steps should be completed in the order shown in this section.
1.
Unpacking & Mounting
a)
Unpack your inverter from its shipping container and inspect the unit for any obvious transit damage. Report any
concerns immediately to your supplier. Please keep original packaging in case it is required for re-transport at a later date.
b)
Mount the inverter to a suitable surface, paying close attention to the mounting requirements set out below.
•
Select a site that is dry and free of salt or moisture-laden air, dust, exhaust or battery gases and access to any rodents.
•
Never
mount the inverter directly above the batteries.
•
Mount the inverter as close to the batteries as possible, but no closer than 500mm, mounting should be on a solid surface
capable of withstanding temperatures of 60°C.
•
Allow a cooling space of at least 200mm all around the inverter. Placing the inverter in a cupboard or small enclosure
may reduce the available output power. The installation site should not be susceptible to temperatures in excess 50
0
C.

AC Wiring
Important: All AC wiring must comply with relevant Australian and local standards, and be performed by a licensed
electrician to satisfy warranty requirements and conditions.
a) Connect active, neutral and earth to a 10 amp 3 pin male AC plug top. Due to the use of a large transformer, max galvanic
isolation is provided between the input and output. This means that the Bolero is compatible with M.E.N installations.
b) It is possible to permanently hard wire the output of the Bolero, this is done by:
Firstly ensuring all DC inputs are disconnected.
Use a small knife to remove the plastic buttons on the AC outlet.
Unscrew and disconnect the AC outlet.
Using the screws provided attach a Clipsal 559-3 slimline junction box.
Connect the three AC wires to the junction box and secure cover.
Warning:
Please read these instructions thoroughly before commencing installation. Installation should be performed by a
competent professional electrical / renewable energy installer, as dangerous voltage can be present.
All relevant Australian
Standards must be strictly followed. A licensed Electrician must carry out all AC wiring.
