External Earthing Mobile Applications - Connect an earth wire (preferably solid green
or green with yellow stripe) from the external earth connection (Chassis GND) on the
rear of the inverter to the chassis of the vehicle or ground wires on a boat.
CHASSIS CONNECTION
OPERATION
Caution:
•
Never connect the AC output of the inverter to normal fixed building wiring or any
wiring connected to the mains grid. Normally AC wiring contains a MEN link - this
neutral to earth link can damage the inverter and compromise safety.
•
This inverter is designed for direct connection to appliances however extension
leads and power boards can be used for low wattage appliances.
PROTECTION FEATURES
Meanwell inverters include sophisticated circuitry that monitors the operation of the
inverter and turns the inverter off if a problem is detected. A fault light will illuminate
and an audible alarm may be heard if this occurs. This prevents damage to the inverter,
batteries and/or appliance being powered.
•
Low Battery - This feature will sound an alarm when the battery system powering the
inverter is low. It is recommended that the appliance is turned off, then the inverter is
turned off and the batteries recharged before switching on again.
If the appliance is allowed to continue to run, the inverter will turn off when the
batteries are very low to prevent over discharging the batteries or damaging the
inverter. This will cause a sudden disruption of power to the appliance that may cause
problems for some devices. e.g. computers that need to be shut down properly.
•
High Battery - This feature will shut down the inverter when the battery system is too
high in voltage. This prevents damage to the inverter. An over voltage condition could
occur if the wrong battery system is used or a fault occurs whilst attempting to charge
the battery when it is connected to the inverter.
•
Overload - This feature will turn the inverter off when the total load connected to the
inverter exceeds the inverter's rating (see
"

).
