• 24 V---: DSP624, DSP1024, DSP1524, DSP2024

The light-weight and compact construction of this device allows for easy installation in mobile homes, commercial vehicles or motor and sailing yachts.

The output voltage corresponds to the household voltage from the socket (pure sine wave, THD <5%).

Please observe the values for constant output power and peak output power as indicated in chapter "Technical data" on page 18. Never connect devices that have a higher power requirement.

NOTE

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

The inverter has various protective mechanisms:

• Overvoltage shutdown: The inverter shuts itself off when the voltage exceeds the cut-off value. It restarts when the voltage returns to the restart value.
• Undervoltage shutdown: The inverter shuts itself off when the voltage sinks below the cut-off value. It restarts when the voltage rises to the restart value.
• Excess temperature shutdown: The inverter switches off when the temperature inside the device or the temperature on the cooling element exceeds a cut-off value. It restarts when the voltage rises to the restart value.
• Overloading and short circuit shutdown: The LED on the inverter indicates an operating fault when an excess load is connected or a short circuit has occurred.

NOTE

The individual values are found in the chapter “Technical data” on page 18.

The inverter can be operated in the following net configurations:

• TN network:

The neutral conductor of the inverter is grounded. A downstream safety switch (RCD) must be installed.

- IT network:

Both phases are insulated. This is suitable for operating one load. If more than one load will be connected a protection plan has to be set up (e.g. insulation monitor).

The net configuration is set via a DIP switch at the inverter.

The inverter can be switched with the remote control to an energy-saving mode to prevent the connected battery from discharging too quickly.

Using the remote control, the inverter can be turned on or off and switched to the energy-saving mode.
