6 Intended use
WARNING!
Never use the inverter on vehicles where the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis.
Inverters PP1002, PP1004, PP2002 and PP2004 are used for supplying power to 230 V consumers with a 12 V or 24 V power supply:
● 12 V: PP1002 and PP2002
● 24 V: PP1004 and PP2004
The inverters are suitable for use in caravans, commercial vehicles and motor and sailing vessels.
7 Technical description
Inverters PP1000 and PP2000 consist of two function units:
- Inverter switch: generates 230 V AC power from a battery voltage of -12 V: PP1002 and PP2002
- 24 V: PP1004 and PP2004
- Mains priority circuit: switches automatically between 230 V of external mains voltage (e.g. on a camping site) and a battery generated 230 V power supply
The external supply has priority. If no more external voltage is available, the output socket is disconnected from the external power supply and connected to the inverter voltage. This ensures that the output socket always has a power supply of 230 V.
From inverter operation to mains power supply:
There is a delay when switching from inverter operation (whereby the 230 V AC power is produced from the battery voltage) to the mains power supply.
When the plug is inserted in the outside socket (camping site, harbour) the inverter is switched off after a delay of approx. 4 s. After a further 2 s, the mains power supply is switched through. This gives the devices connected enough time to switch off properly.
From mains power to inverter operation:
A delay also occurs when switching from mains power to inverter operation.
If the mains supply fails, the inverter switches on after 2 seconds.
NOTICE!
When switching over, any devices connected should be switched off. Because they do not receive voltage for 2 s, they may have to be switched back on.
The inverter is equipped with protection against thermal and electrical overloading, as well as excess and insufficient voltage. The inverter switches off:
● If its internal temperature is too high
- If the load exceeds the values listed in the technical data
● If the input voltage is too high or too low
A single consumer or a socket distribution system can be connected to the inverter to create an on-board 230 V supply with several sockets.
The device is equipped at delivery with galvanic isolation. For the safe operation of multiple consumers, it is essential that a circuit breaker (residual current circuit breaker) is built into the socket distribution circuit and the grounding bridge is set in the inverter.
NOTE
Note when connecting devices with an electrical drive (such as power drills and refrigerators), that they often need more power than is stated on the type plate.
The inverter can be switched on manually or using a remote control.
Cooling is provided by a fan and is load-dependent.
