Stromtank S 5000, Owner'S Manual

DISPLAY OPERATION
The illuminated display at the top of the Stromtank indicates the state of charging in 10 steps
from 10 % up to 100 %. When all 10 indicators are illuminated the unit is fully charged (100 %).
If only one indicator is shown the unit is nearly empty (state of charging: 10 %).
If the Stromtank is in off-grid mode (front button pushed) and reaches a rest capacity of 10 % it
automatically switches back to electric circuit for emergency charging (the light at the ampere
meter changes to blue illumination). As soon as the battery capacity reaches 20 % the Strom-
tank returns to off-grid mode (the light at the ampere meter changes to green.)
This security function ensures that the battery cannot totally be discharged, e.g. if you forget
to switch the unit to on-grid mode (charging) after a music session.
ATTENTION : Do not forget to switch back to on-grid mode for charging the batteries.
If the display shows a red lighting LED check that the AC-in power cord of the Stromtank is
connected properly to the electric circuit. The red LED also indicates that the AC-in fuse is
blown.
ADVANCED FEATURES
STROMTANK - INVERTER
The Stromtank is equipped with a high-performance inverter, which supplies a perfect and
very precise sine wave. Any unit designed for the 230V- 50 Hz / 115V – 60Hz electric circuit
can be connected to it without any problem, up to the rated power out of the Stromtank. The
Stromtank is protected against overloads and short-circuits.
Thanks to the largely over-dimensioned performance level, loads up to three times higher
than the Stromtank’s rated power can be faultlessly supplied for short periods (3 sec) of use,
thus allowing the load to be started up without any problem.
AUTOMATIC LOAD DETECTION (load search)
In order to save battery energy, the Stromtank stops and automatically goes into load search
mode when the detected load is lower than the sensitivity (2,5W). It automatically goes back
into operation when a power consumer greater than this value demands it.
In load search mode (standby), the system will thus consume minimal power from the battery.
AC-IN CURRENT ACTIVE FILTERING
In this mode the current taken on AC-Input is a sinusoid in phase with voltage. That means
only active power is taken from the generator. The Stromtank compensates harmonics and
reactive current from the source.
This function also avoids fast speed change on the generator due to loads jump.
