Connection Input Commutation to Mains:
An IEC power socket is located at the unit's front panel, which is labelled with
"IN 230 V AC max. 10 A"
. Use the delivered
IEC power cable to connect the unit to a 230 V shockproof socket, which is supplied with external mains voltage (country
current) over the current supply at the vehicle. In case of vibration load, the connection cable should be secured near the
unit (strain relief, cable clips etc.)
Start-up and Operation:
After the connection of the inverter to the 12 V battery, the inverter is ready for operation.
The unit is switched-on by momentarily pressing the ON/OFF switch (ON) at the display panel of the inverter (ON). The
green light-emitting diode (LED)
„INVERTER“
indicates the readiness for service. After an internal self-test of the entire
system being indicated by 2 short beeps and one long beep, the inverter operation starts. 230 V alternating voltage (AC) is
now supplied to the unit socket at the front panel for supply of the consumers.
Operation of the Inverter in Automatic Mode (Stand-by Mode):
The automatic mode helps to save battery energy in case of larger consumers. Very often, large consumers are switched-
on for a short moment or in intervals due to their high power consumption, but the inverter permanently loads the battery,
even if the consumer has already been switched-off (idle time)!!
This unnecessary battery load can be reduced by use of the stand-by function!
The inverter is started in
automatic mode
by momentarily pressing the ON/OFF switch, and the LEDs
"INVERTER"
and
"AUTOM."
will be lighting.
When being switched-on, the inverter checks the connected load continuously (e. g. TV-set). So, capacity is required, as
long as the TV-set is switched-on (> 15 W, see below Adjustment of the Threshold). If the TV-set will be switched-off (< 15
W), the inverter will recognize this state, and it changes automatically to stand-by mode after a short observation time.
All light-emitting diodes will stop lighting, only the yellow LED
„AUTOM.“
will be flashing every second. Now, the battery
load is reduced to approx. 0.4 A.
The inverter checks every second, if any load (> 15 W) has been connected to the output. If the inverter does not find a
consumer within the following 5 or 10 minutes (duration of the search is adjustable) during the stand-by mode, it will be
switched-off completely, and it can only be restarted by means of the ON/OFF switch (safety measure).
Optimum adaptation of the stand-by mode to the corresponding
requirements is achieved by setting the stand-by threshold (load) as well as
the duration of the stand-by search (time). Remove the display panel from the
front panel and use the two switches for setting:
Switch 1 (Load): Threshold 15 W or 60 W
Switch 2 (Time): Duration of the search, 5 minutes or 10 minutes
Switch 3 (PowerSave): If desired by remote control
can be switched-on/off or permanently
off
Switch 4 (Run Mode):
Operation by means of display panel /
remote control or continuous operation
During the stand-by mode, the inverter is not completely switched-off!!
When being set to RunMode "Always On", the inverter can start automatically!!!
It is therefore imperative to always separate the inverter from the 230 V consumers or the installation
prior to execution of work at the 230 V consumers or the installation belonging to it!
