Low Voltage Electro-technical Regulation. The ground cable must be in the low
voltage circuit breaker distribution board.
•
Connect the negative battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
•
Blow around the positive terminal of the battery to remove any accumulated
hydrogen.
•
Connect the positive battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. A small
spark may appear when contact is made, this is normal.
NOTES:
-
AC output voltage is very dangerous. You must always install an RCD at the
inverter output for people and animal protection.
-
Switch the inverter off before manipulating the installation; it can start
automatically without prior warning.
7.- START-UP PROCEDURE
•
Check all the connections to make sure that they are all correct.
•
Turn the inverter on using the ON / OFF switch located on the front panel.
•
Close the AC output breaker that you connected to the inverter output.
•
If the load connected to the inverter is higher than that adjusted with the “load
detection” potentiometer, the inverter will start and the output voltage will increase
rapidly until it reaches its nominal value. If not, load will turn ON and OFF once per
second.
•
Verify that the RCD is working properly by pressing the test button on the front, if it
trips then it is working properly. This cross-check must be done occasionally, as
indicated by the manufacturer of the RCD.
8.- SHUT-OFF PROCEDURE
When you are not going to use the inverter for a while, turn it off in order to save
energy by using the ON / OFF switch located in the front panel.
9.- PRECAUTIONS
•
Do not manipulate the interior of the unit, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
•
Do not connect any power supply to the inverter AC output, this includes
generators and other inverters.
•
Do not cover the ventilation slots or insert objects (especially metal ones).
•
Protect the unit against exposure to direct sunlight and water.
•
Do not install the inverter on top of the batteries, gases can damage it. Batteries
generate hydrogen and oxygen during charging, resulting in an explosive gas
mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area; follow the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations
