Installation

The sine wave Inverter 500 and the Inverter 1000 are an
electronic device, for which some caution must be taken
when installing it:
Place where the inverter should be
installed:
Out of reach of unauthorised persons,
specially children.
In a dry place (max. 95% humidity), and in
any case with no condensation.
Not directly on top of the batteries.
Ventilation must be free, and a space of
10 cm. on each side is needed for good
evacuation of the internal heat.
3.1

Fitting the inverter

The inverter is fi tted by screws (Ø 4 mm) using the four
holes provided. The fi tting screws are not supplied with
the inverter. It may be fi t into a horizontal position.
3.2 Connection
The connection of the inverter should be done with
utmost care. First connect the consumer devices so
as to prevent any further contact once the 230 V
voltage is present. The technical data and connection's
description, is either under one side of the inverter or
onto the cable connection side. Installation is to be
made only by authorised persons.
3.3
Connecting the consumer devices
The inverter is supplied with a 230 V cable for the
consumer devices. This connection must be done
observing the colours:
- Yellow-green: earth
- Brown: phase
- Blue: neutral
Once the consumer devices are connected, make sure
that they are turned off before connecting the battery.

An Inverter constitutes an independent
power supply from the grid and could be
considered in the same way as a generator
set. The phase and the neutral are not
differentiated. The voltage in between
the phase and the neutral is 230 V. An
appropriate divisor establishes a 115V
voltage in between neutral and earth, and
the phase and earth. According to the local
prescriptions or particular requirement,
(example: use of a ground fault detector)
a true neutral may be established by
connecting the neutral and the earth wire
together. This point, may be connected
with an existing earth: earth of building; the
chassis of vehicle or the hull of ship.

Connecting the battery

Once the consumer devices are connected, make sure
that the installations instructions of the 230 V has been
followed with utmost care before connecting the battery.
The cable of the battery is supplied with the inverter
and already connected. A fuse must be installed on
the battery. Connect the battery observing carefully the
polarity. The Inverter 500 & 1000 are protected against
inversion by a fuse, but if the polarity should be inverted,
the inverter must be sent to the manufacturer for control.
Connect the battery using the following colours:
- BLACK cable: negative pole (-)
- RED cable: positive pole (+)
Danger of explosion!
When connecting the battery, there's a
spark, because of the charging of the
internal condensator.
Check that the cables are well adjusted. As long as it
is possible, do not extend the cables supplied with the
batteries. Extending them may increase the losses and
cause malfunction of the inverter.
Once the inverter is connected to the batteries, a 230 V
voltage is present in the output of the inverter.
