3.0 OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 INSTALLATION
The INV 1210 series inverters have been designed to be installed in a standard 19" relay
rack or EIA type enclosure. A set of accessory rack “ears” are provided for this feature.
These rackmount adapter brackets may be mounted at the front panel or in the middle of
the chassis. In both cases, the adapters are held in place using #10/32 hardware.
CAUTION! WHEN INSTALLING RACK MOUNT ADAPTERS,
HARDWARE USED (MACHINE SCREWS) MUST NOT EXCEED
3/8" IN LENGTH. LONGER SCREWS MAY DAMAGE INTERNAL
COMPONENTS AND CREATE A SHOCK HAZARD
Mount the unit in a suitable location as not to block the flow of cooling air at the front,
rear and sides of the inverter chassis. This device will pull in cool air from the front and
sides and exhaust warm air from the rear. It is recommended that a minimum clearance
of 3 inches be provided at the front and rear and 1 to 2 inches on the sides.
When rack mounting, it is permissible to mount the inverter by the mounting ears only.
If the unit is intended for use in a mobile or other high vibration application the use of
additional support for the rear of the chassis is
highly recommended
.
3.2
WIRING
Wiring to the inverter will vary depending on voltage and options ordered. In addition
local electrical codes must be considered for permanent installations. The NEC
(National Electrical Code) requires that separately derived AC sources (back-up
generators, inverters, ect.) must have one conductor bonded to earth ground. This
may be accomplished with the 1200 series by following the recommended hook -up
diagrams that follow. These examples require the terminal strip output option.
WARNING!
ALL INSTALLATIONS AND VERSIONS OF THIS DEVICE REQUIRE THE USE OF
THE SAFETY EARTH CONNECTION TO THE CHASSIS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
CREATE A FIRE OR SAFETY HAZARD. THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
PRODUCED BY THIS UNIT CAN BE LETHAL. REFER INSTALLATION TO
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE DC POLARITY ON THE INPUT TO THIS DEVICE MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY. THIS WILL VOID EQUIPMENT
WARRANTY
