The device must be set up and fastened in such a way that it cannot tip over or fall down. When positioning the device, ensure that all cables are suitably secured to avoid any form of trip hazard. NOTICE! Damage hazard Place the device in a dry location where it is protected against splashing water. Always use sockets which are grounded and secured by residual current circuit breakers

3.3 Safety when connecting the device electrically

DANGER! Electrocution hazard If you are working on electrical systems, ensure that there is somebody close at hand who can help you in emergencies. WARNING! Electrocution hazard Observe the recommended cable cross-sections. Lay the cables so that they cannot be damaged by the doors or the hood. Crushed cables can lead to serious injury. NOTICE! Damage hazard Use ductwork or cable ducts if it is necessary to lay cables through metal panels or other panels with sharp edges. Do not lay the 230 V mains cable and the 12 V DC cable in the same duct. Do not lay the cable so that it is loose or heavily kinked. Fasten the cables securely. 11EN

3.4 Safety precautions when handling batteries

WARNING! Risk of injury Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery fluid coming into contact with your body. If your skin does come into contact with battery fluid, wash that part of your body thoroughly with water. If you sustain any injuries from acids, contact a doctor immediately. When working on batteries, do not wear any metal objects such as watches or rings. Lead acid batteries can cause short circuits which can cause serious injuries. Only use insulated tools. Do not place any metal parts on the battery and prevent any metal parts from falling on the battery. This can cause sparks or short-circuits the battery and other electrical devices. Wear goggles and protective clothing when working on batteries. Do not touch your eyes when working on batteries. Only use rechargeable batteries. Do not use defective batteries. CAUTION! Explosion hazard Never attempt to charge a frozen or defective battery. Place the battery in a frost-free area and wait until the battery has acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Then start the charging process. Do not smoke, use an open flame, or cause sparking near the engine or a battery. Keep the battery away from heat sources. NOTICE! Damage hazard Ensure that the polarity is correct when connecting the battery. Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer and those of the manufacturer of the system or vehicle in which the battery is used. If the battery has to be removed, first disconnect the ground connection. Disconnect all connections and all consumers from the battery before removing it. Only store fully charged batteries. Recharge stored batteries regularly. Do not carry the battery by its terminals.

3.5 Operating the device safely

WARNING! Electrocution hazard Do not use the device in wet conditions or submerge in any liquid. Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry and the plug is free from rust or dirt. Observe that parts of the device may still conduct voltage even if the fuse has blown. NOTICE! Damage hazard Ensure that the air inlets and outlets of the device are not covered. Ensure a good ventilation. 12EN 4 Scope of delivery

6.1 General description

The inverter is a DC-to-AC sine wave inverter. The inverter has the following protective mechanisms:

• High temperature shutdown: The inverter switches off when the internal temperature of the device exceeds the cut-off value. The inverter restarts automatically when the internal temperature drops to the restart value.

• High output current protection: The inverter switches off when too many loads are connected.

• Protection against short circuit: The inverter switches off when a short circuit has been generated. The inverter restarts automatically aer a few seconds. If a short circuit is detected for five consecutive times, the inverter does not restarts automatically and a manual restart is needed. DPSI412, DPSI424 only: The inverter can be connected to an external switch to be used as a remote control. 14EN

Electrocution hazard Unplug the device from the power supply before cleaning and maintenance. NOTICE! Damage hazard Never clean the device under running water or in dish water. Do not use sharp or hard objects, abrasive cleaning agents or bleach during cleaning as these can damage the device. Ensure that the air inlet and outlet vents of the device are free of dust and dirt so that the heat can be released. Occasionally clean the device with a so, damp cloth. Regularly check live cables or lines for insulation faults, breaks or loose connections. 10 Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy Short circuit has been generated. The device fuse must be replaced by an authorized service agent after it has been triggered by excess cur- rent. The inverter does not work. The status indication LED is off. Insulation faults, breaks or loose con- nections at the live cables. Check live cables for insulation faults, breaks or loose connections. If you cannot find an error, contact an authorized service agent. High output current protection. Reduce the connected loads. High temperature shutdown.

1. Switch off the inverter and the

2. Check that the air inlets and out-

lets are not covered or obstructed.

3. Allow the inverter to cool down.

The inverter does not work. The status indication LED flashes slowly. Short circuit has been generated. The device fuse must be replaced by an authorized service agent after it has been triggered by excess current. 22EN Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy Overvoltage shutdown Reduce the connected voltages. The inverter restarts automatical- ly when the voltage drops to the restart value (≤ 0 V). If the error still occurs: Increase the cable cross-sections. Reduce the cable length. The inverter does not work. The status indication LED flashes quickly. Undervoltage shutdown. Allow the battery to recharge slow- ly. The inverter restarts automatical- ly when the voltage exceeds the restart value. 11 Warranty The statutory warranty period applies.
