Do not disassemble or modify the inverter.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Environment
•
Do not expose to water drip or spray.
•
Operate only in ambient temperatures between 10ºC and 40ºC. Keep away from furnace heating vents or other
heat producing equipment.
•
Well ventilated. Allow at least 5 cm clearance above and on all sides of the unit for proper cooling.
•
Do not install the controller and inverter in a compartment with batteries or flammable liquids, such as gasoline,
or explosive vapours.
•
Keep the operation environment clean and free of dust and dirt. This is especially important if the controller is
used in a work environment.
•
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Working principle
The inverters work in two stages.
1.
During the first stage, the DC to DC converter increases the DC input voltage from the power source to 300 volts
DC.
2.
In the second stage, the high voltage DC is converted to watts you need (AC) using advanced power MOSFET
transistors or IGBT technology. The result is excellent overload capability and the capacity to operate difficult
reactive loads.
Power supply
The power supply source needs to guarantee at least 10,5VDC and enough permanent output to operate the unit.
The power supply source can be a battery or a similar DC power supply. To establish the estimated necessary power
supply (amps), divide the respective output (W) of the operated unit by the incoming voltage. (12V in car battery)
Connection to the power supply
•
Unpack the power inverter and ensure that the switch is at the OFF position.
•
Insert the cigarette lighter plug into the cigarette lighter socket.
CAUTION
: May only be operated with 12V batteries.
It cannot be operated at 6V and 24V as it will be damaged!
Connection of the consumer
•
The output of the consumer needs to lie within the specifications.
•
Insert the plug into the socket of the power inverter.
•
Press the ON-switch – the green LED lights up and the unit is operational.
•
The LED will turn off if the voltage drops below 10V and the power inverter switches off – switch off the
consumer and disconnect the plug.
CAUTION
: Never draw power from the power inverter with a cable.
Rechargeable units
CAUTION
: Some rechargeable units can be directly connected to standard sockets. These units can damage the
power inverter. When a rechargeable unit is used for the first time, observe the temperature for approx. 10 minutes. If
it becomes hot, the unit cannot be operated using the power inverter. Rechargeable units can easily be used with a
separate charger or transformer.
Fuse
The power inverter is fitted with a 35 amp fuse. Defective fuses should be replaced with new fuses.
