Section 1: INTRODUCTION & APPLICATIONS FOR USE
The eLumen8 BG615 is designed as an industrial portable power generator supplying continuous AC
mains power up to 300W for equipment requiring 230V AC 50Hz. It has the added feature of a built-in
charger with a mains input and a changeover relay that allows power from the mains to pass through
to a load whilst keeping the battery charged, then if the mains fails the system can support the load (if
within the compatibility of the inverter) automatically for a duration dependant on load.
It uses a bespoke Lithium Ion (615W/h) battery with a dedicated battery management system to
supply a pure sine wave inverter producing a clean reliable supply powering most compatible
equipment up to 300W.
It is housed in a ruggedised waterproof IP65 case with industrial input and output sockets for
charging and discharging of the unit. In addition, a display on the front of the case indicates run
times based on the current load, recharge time based on the in-built charger and other information
pertaining to the battery voltage, current, state of charge and capacity. A single switch turns the
system on and off and contains a red warning LED to indicate any fault conditions including low
battery supply, over temperature, overload and short circuit.
All users must read, understand and obey any instructions and information contained herein these
operating instructions before use. Only trained or competent personnel should use the eLumen8
BG615.
This Manual should always stay with the eLumen8 BG615.
APPLICATIONS FOR USE
The eLumen8 BG615 is designed for use in the following applications only. It should not be used for
any other purpose. If in any doubt about applications for use, please contact either Prolight Concepts
(UK) Ltd or Prolight Concepts (UK) Ltd’s distributor for more information.
•
Powering resistive load equipment up to a max continuous load of 300W.
•
Powering capacitive load equipment up to a max continuous load of 300W.
•
Avoid powering Inductive loads (Items with motors in) or limit their load to 60W max.
Note: Some loads may fail to run at all from the eLumen8 BG615 Generator or cause the inverter
system within the generator to behave abnormally causing it to shut down, if this happens disconnect
the load and don’t attempt to retry.
Failure to follow the instructions and safety rules in this manual may result in death
or serious injury.
