4. Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is crucial for the inverter's performance and safety. Follow these steps carefully:
4.1. Triar una ubicació
- Instal·leu l'inversor en un lloc fresc, sec i ben ventilat.
- Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
- Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the inverter for airflow, especially around the cooling fan vents.
- Mount the inverter securely on a stable surface.
4.2. Connexió d'entrada de CC
Connect the inverter directly to a 12VDC battery bank. Use appropriately sized cables to minimize voltage gota.
- Ensure the inverter's power switch is in the "OFF" position.
- Connect the positive (+) DC cable from the battery to the positive (+) terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the negative (-) DC cable from the battery to the negative (-) terminal on the inverter.
- Tighten all connections securely to prevent loose contacts and arcing.

4.3. Connexió de sortida de CA
The inverter features dual GFCI 120VAC outlets for connecting your AC appliances.
- Plug your AC appliances directly into the GFCI outlets on the inverter's front panel.
- Ensure the total power consumption of all connected appliances does not exceed the inverter's rated output (1500W continuous).

4.4. Remote Control Connection (Optional)
The inverter supports an optional remote ON/OFF control via the green terminal block.
- Connect a compatible remote switch or control system to the green terminal block as per the remote control's instructions.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1. Engegada de l'inversor
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions de CC i CA estiguin ben segures.
- Flip the main power switch on the inverter to the "ON" position.
- Observe the LED indicators for status. A green LED typically indicates normal operation.
5.2. Comprensió dels indicadors LED
The inverter features 3-color LED status indicators:
- Verd: Funcionament normal.
- Groc/ambre: Warning condition (e.g., low battery voltage, high temperature). Refer to troubleshooting section.
- Vermell: Fault condition (e.g., overload, short circuit, over temperature shutdown). The inverter will typically shut down.
5.3. Mode d'estalvi d'energia
The inverter has an adjustable power saving mode. This mode reduces power consumption when no load or a very light load is detected. Consult the full technical datasheet for details on adjusting this setting via the variable resistor.
6. Manteniment
Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del vostre inversor.
- Neteja: Keep the inverter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Ventilació: Periodically check that the cooling fan vents are not obstructed. Ensure the fan operates freely.
- Connexions: Annually inspect all DC and AC connections for tightness. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
- Salut de la bateria: Monitor your battery bank's health. A weak battery can cause the inverter to shut down prematurely due to low voltage.
