Electrical connection
In case the inverter is installed into vehicles or boats, it has to be connected to the
chassis (earth). A corresponding connection possibility is provided at the rear. On building
up an electricity supply network the safety regulations according to the VDE 0100
standard are to be kept. If cables have to be led through metal walls or other
sharp-edged walls, then cable ducts or cable bushes must be installed! Do not lay cables
loose or in sharp bends on electrical conducting materials (metal)! Do not lay 230 V
mains cable and 12/24 V DC cable together into the same cable conduit (cable duct)!
All cables must be fixed well in order to avoid short-circuits among each other or with the
chassis (earth)!
Lay cables in such a way that no tripping is possible!
Connection to the battery
The inverters 8100-012VS, 8100-024VS and 8200-024VS have each a red terminal for
the positive line and a black terminal for the negative line at the rear of the device (see A 1).
Screw first the positive and the negative cable at the inverter. Check the connection for safe
contact. The screw connection has to be possibly retightened once again later.
Screw then the red positive cable with the positive pole of the battery. Then screw the black
negative cable with the negative pole of the battery. Formation of sparks can occur through
the charging of the internal condensers.
The inverters type 8200-012VS have each two terminals.
Both have to be connected (see A 2). Make sure that the polarity will not be exchanged!
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires can damage the inverter. Do not use the
inverter with electrical systems using positive earth.
Connection to the 230 V outside connection
(see A 3) The connection box for the 230
V input voltage are to be found at the front panel of the inverter. The inverter is wired with
the outside socket of the vehicle by means of the attached connecting cable.
