Connecting the inverter
Ensure that the power socket in the car or with in case of direct connection with a battery, the appropriate voltage (12V or 24V) is available. Never
connect a 12V inverter to a power source of 24 V as this will to irreparable damages.
A) Connection to a power socket (only for series SL, CL and CLS)
Depending on the fusing of the power socket's circuits, the inverter can be operated with 150-200 W. If you need the maximum continuous
•
power of the inverter, the inverter must be directly connected with the battery through the battery cable - see below under "Connecting to a
starter or battery supply".
1. Make sure that no consumer is connected to the inverter, before you connect it to the power source. Make sure that the inverter is switched off
(switch position "0").
2. Remove the screws on the terminals. For this purpose, turn the screw counterclockwise until they are completely disconnected from the terminals.
Remove the washers.
3. Slide the eyelets of the connection cable on to the battery terminals. Pay close attention to the correct polarity. Insert the eyelet with the red mark
on the red terminal (positive / +) and the eyelet with the black mark on the black terminal (minus/).
4. Insert the previously removed washer over the eyelets and screw the caps on the terminals. Turn the caps firmly so that the eyelets have full
surface contact on the terminals.
5. Plug the power cable into a suitable power socket.
6. Connect the consumer to the inverters.
7. Turn on the inverter (switch position "I").
8. Turn on the consumer.
B) Connection to a starter or battery supply (all series except SL)
Series CL and CLS, battery cable with crocodile clamps and series HPL and HPLS, battery cable with eyelets for screwing.
For such a connection, ensure that the connection can be disconnected immediately in an emergency situation. In case of doubt, use approved
•
disconnector/separator.
1. See A) 1.
2. See A) 2.
3. See A) 3.
4. See A) 4.
5. Connect the battery cable to the voltage source. Pay close attention to the polarity. Connect the red cable on the plus pole and the black battery
cable to the minus pole.
6. See A) 6.
7. See A) 7.
8. See A) 8.
Disconnecting the Connection to the Voltage Source
1. Turn off the consumer and pull the plug from the socket of the inverter.
2. Turn off the inverter (switch position "0").
3. Remove the connection to the power source. To do this, remove the plug from the power socket, or disconnect the battery cables from the
battery.
Attention! Always disconnect the black battery cable from the battery, and then the red cable. This avoids the risk of a short circuit.
Note: Disconnect the inverter when not in use completely from the power supply
Fuse Replacement
Attention! All replacement fuses have to be of the same value as the original. If the value is too low, the fuse can be triggered too soon. On the
other hand, if the value is too high, the inverter can be damaged beyond repair and can cause a fire. The respective fuse values can be found in the
technical data.
Glass fuse in the plug (only series SL, CL and CLS)
To replace the glass fuse in plug, unscrew the knurled cap in the front. Use a suitable tool if necessary. Turn the cap counterclockwise till it's
completely unscrewed and then remove the fuse from the housing. Ensure no parts (knurled cap, pin, spring behind the fuse) are lost.
Replace the fuse with a new one and then screw the cap back on to the housing.
