OPERATION
3.1
Introduction
The Mass SINE inverter is a fully automatic high efficiency inverter
developed and produced by Mastervolt Amsterdam. The MASS SINE
inverter is part of a series of advanced quality battery chargers and
inverters supplied by Mastervolt all over the world. The MASS SINE
inverter converts DC voltage to 230VAC~50/60Hz or 117VAC~60/50Hz.
The AC output voltage has a sinusoidal waveform for reliable and
trouble free operation of connected equipment. The inverter is protected
against overload, short circuit and over temperature. In case of
overload, the inverter will reduce its output power.

Switching on and off
Switching on: Put the on/off/remote switch on the front of the inverter
on "on". The green lamp “inverter on” lights up, and the inverter will
start. If you use a remote control panel, put the on/off/remote switch to
“remote”, and put the on/off switch on the remote control panel to “on”.
Switching off: Put the on/off/remote switch on the front of the inverter
on "off". The inverter stops and all the lights that are on, go off.
CAUTION!
Switching off the inverter with the switch on the front or via
the remote does not break the connection to the mains or the batteries.

Indicator lights
The functions of the indicator lights on the front are:
LED Meaning Short
description
Inverter on
Inverter is
switched on
The green light shows when the
inverter is switched on.
Overload Inverter
is
overloaded
Glows if the inverter is overloaded.
When the inverter is overloaded,
the power limit reduces the output
voltage. Depending on the load, the
inverter will shut down after a short
period.
