Maintenance 

Inverter 

Periodic maintenance of your LD600-12 inverter involves little more than 
checking for any obstructions to the black cooling heatsink at the rear of the 
inverter. The heatsink must be cleared of any accumulated foreign matter that 
may have lodged itself between the fins since the last maintenance check, e.g. 
insect nests. Also verify that airflow around the inverter has not become 
restricted. 

Batteries 

1.

 

Every week, carry out a thorough visual inspection of all battery 
wiring, taking particular note of the condition of inter-connections 
between cells. This maintenance should be carried out in conjunction 
with the battery manufacturers recommended maintenance. 

Safety Hint 

 

When working on batteries of such high capacity it is 
essential that you wear protective clothing, some form of eye 
protection and rubber-soled work boots. Please regard your 
batteries with a great deal of caution, and if in any doubt, 
entrust this work to your supplier / installer. 

2.

 

Check that the stainless steel inter-connecting bolts are tight and have 
no corrosion. If corrosion is evident, carefully follow the following 
procedure. 

 

Disconnect the system battery fuse before working on the battery 
bank. 

 

Unbolt the stainless steel bolts and nuts of any corroded 
connections and thoroughly clean the joint with a wire brush or 
file, taking extreme care not to short circuit any battery cells with 
any tools. 

 

Re-assemble and smear a small amount of Vaseline or similar 
grease over the surface of the joint to slow down any future 
corrosion.
