4 Technical description

The inverters are used to convert a direct current of 12V into a 230V AC supply of 50 HZ, and/or 5V 2100mA USB.

The inverter can be operated wherever there is a 12V DC supply. The devices are additionally cooled with a load fan.

The maximum constant output for the devices is as follows:

• For INC150N and INV150N inverters 150W
  For INV300N inverter 300W
  For INV600N inverter 600W
  For INV1000N inverter 1000W
  For INV1500N inverter 1500W
  For INV2000N inverter 2000W

Never connect devices that have a higher power requirement.

The inverter is equipped with protection against thermal and electrical over-loading, as well as excess and insufficient voltage. The inverter alarms and switches off:

• if its internal temperature is too high
• if the load exceeds the values stated above
• if the input voltage is too high or too low

The inverter can be switched on and off using the switch directly on the device.

Note

Note when connecting devices with an electrical drive (such as power drills and refrigerators), that they often require more power than the data is indicated on the type plate.

5 Connecting the inverter

5.1 Fastening the inverter

You can fasten the inverters (INV300N, INV600N, INV100N0, INV1500N and INV2000N) by screwing through the holes on the underside.

When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions:

• The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
• The inverter must be installed in a place that is protected from moisture.
• The inverter may not be installed in the presence of flammable materials.
  The inverter may not be installed in a dusty environment.
• The place of installation must be well-ventilated. A ventilation system must be present for installations in small, closed spaces. The minimum clearance around the inverter must be at least 25~cm .
• The air intake on the front side or the air outlet on the back of the inverter must remain clear.
• For ambient temperatures higher than 40^ (such as in engine or heating compartments, or direct sunlight). The heat from the inverter under load can lead to the automatic shut-off of the inverter.
• The installation surface must be level and sufficiently sturdy.

Caution

Before drilling any holes, ensure that no electrical cables or other parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.

5.2 Connecting the inverter with car socket (INC150N, INV150N, INV300N and INV600N)

The inverter is connected via a plug connected to a 12V socket. The middle pin of the plug must be connected to the position wire and the two side brackets of the plug must be connected to the negative wire.

Caution

Make sure the plug is firmly connected in the socket. If the connection is loose, the plug may heat up.

Caution

The rating of the socket, the supply cable and the fuse must be at most 15amps. Do not put in a fuse with a higher rating.

Caution

Always check the rated power of device before connecting with car socket. Its rated power can NOT be more than 100W.

5.3 Connecting the inverter with battery (INV300N, INV600N, INV1000N, INV1500N and INV2000N)

To set up the inverter, connect the red cable to the positive pole (+) of the battery and inverter, connect the black cable to the negative pole (-) of the battery and inverter.

Caution

Make sure the battery poles are clean when connecting the terminals.

Tighten the nuts and bolts to a torque of 12-13 Nm. Loose connections may cause overheating.

Caution

Do not reverse the polarity. Reversing the polarity of the connections will cause a great spark and the internal fuses will melt.

Caution

Only extend the connection line with cables with and equal or greater cross section.

Below cross section is for 100% copper wire, does not include thickness of wire cover.

6 Using the inverter

Switch on at the device

Set the main switch(fig. 1.4 page 2) to "ON".

The green LED (fig. 1.5 page 2) lights up.

Switch off at the device

Set the main switch(fig. 1.4 page 2) to "OFF".

The green LED (fig. 1.5 page 2) goes out.

Observe the following when using the device

If the battery voltage falls below 11V during operation, a warning tone sounds. If the battery voltage falls further, the inverter switches off and the red error LED (fig. 1.5 page 2) lights up.

If the inverter overheats, it switches off - the red error LED lights up.

If this happens, switch the inverter off with the switch.

When it cools down, you can use the inverter again.

When operating the inverter at a high load for lengthy periods, it is advisable to start the engine in order to recharge the vehicle battery.

You can operate the inverter with the engine running or switched off.

However, do not start the engine while the inverter is switched on, since the power supply to the cigarette lighters is disconnected during ignition.

Caution

Modified sine wave inverter could operate with most electrical device. Please check with the manufacturer of the product you are going to use if it is possible. For example there might be problems operating with precise instrument, e.g. high precision research testing equipment, medical monitor.

USB port

Connect the USB external appliance to the USB port and switch it on. The USB port on the power inverter provides a power supply of 5V DC for external USB devices.

Warning

The USB port on the power inverter is not designed for transferring data. Do not connect memory sticks, MP3 player or similar data storage external appliances. Do not connect any data transfer cable to the USB port.

7 Replacing the fuse

This is how to change the fuse of the inverter

Take the defective fuse (fig. 2.7 page 2) out of the holder on the back.
Put in a new fuse of the same rating.

Note

For item INC150N, INV150N, INV300N, INV600N, always check the fuse in cigarette plug first.

For item INV1000N, INV1500N, INV2000N, its fuse is inside of inverter.

Unscrew the 4 screws (fig. 2.9 page 2) to replace the fuses.

8 Cleaning and caring for the inverter

Caution

Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning as these may damage the device

Occasionally clean the device with a damp cloth.

9 Troubleshooting

Fault	Cause	Remedy
No output voltage	No contact to the battery	Check contact and cable. Switch On the ignition if necessary.INC150N/ INV150N/ INV300N/ INV600N: check the 12V socket and replace it if necessary.
	Overheating Switch off power	er consuming devicesLet the inverter cool down and ensure better ventilation.
	Defective fuse (in the Cigarette plug, inverter, or The vehicle)	Replacing the fuse with one of the same specification.
	Device defective	Replace the device.
Interference	From TV set systems and / or other external appliances operation snow image, image not steady humming, booming and whirring sound audible.	aRtioe power inverter as far away from TV set as possible, check aerial connection and setting. Place aerial cable away from power inverter. Use a shielded aerial cable. The modified sine wave of the power inverter cannot be filtered sufficiently by the connected external appliance. disconnect all cables immediately. The only available solution is to use a more modern external appliance or one with a higher rating with adequate filtering capability.
The device switches On and off repeatedly	Excessive constant load Reduce the load.
