G3-Combi 1. FEATURES AND OPERATION-FUNCTIONS The Combi is a combination of a sine wave inverter and a intelligent battery charger. The unit has a number of benefits thanks to its dual functionality. The Combi charges batteries, when it is connected to the fixed 230 VAC grid. When it is disconnected, the sine wave inverter part converts energy from the battery to 230 VAC. This function is particularly well-suited for emergency power (UPS).
G3-Combi 1.1 Inverter mode: 1.1.1 Switch ON and OFF the inverter Switch ON the inverter Push down ON/OFF power switch for about 2 seconds. Both blue and red LED will light. After 2 seconds red LED stops and the power switch can be released. The blue LED will flash to indicate start up sequence Blue LED lights and 230VAC is present.
G3-Combi 1.2 Charger mode 1.2.1 Charger activation The charger will automatically switch on regardless of the ON/OFF power switch status, when 185-265VAC is connected to the AC input (blue Neutrik). Note: If the inverter is switched OFF, the charger will operate at even lower voltage than 185VAC (down to 110VAC in this mode is accepted) but with reduced charge current! 1.2.2 Charging steps The battery-charger is a fullautomatic three-step-charger with IUoUocharacteristic.
G3-Combi 1.2.3 Charge current adjust The charge current can be adjusted by the potentiometer on the front panel top from 0A up to maximum rated charge current (see recommended charge current table beside).
G3-Combi 1.4 LED-indications for operation and failfunctions Following three LEDs, located at frontside of device, indicates different status of functions and failures. The blue LED is for he inverter section The green LED is fort he charger section The red LED indicates the status of battery Different conditions are identified by steady or different blinking lights by one or more LEDs. Blue LED Description. ON 1 Short flash every 2.

G3-Combi 3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Environment The Combi must be placed in a dry, well ventilated and dust free location. Place the unit as close as possible to the battery to keep the cables as short as possible. Do not place the unit in same compartment as the batteries. Make sure that water or dust can not enter the cabinet. Ensure that the air flow from fan is not obstructed. Avoid mounting the device next to flammable materials. 3.1.
G3-Combi Mounting DC-cables PAY ATTENTION TO CORRECT POLARITY! Check that the battery voltage matches the DC input to the inverter (or Combi). Check the battery poles are clean. Prepare good electrical contact, use brass or lead battery connectors at the battery poles. Connect only one cable at the time. Start with the Black cable (-). First connect to battery pole, then to inverter (or Combi) (-) terminal (black).
G3-Combi 3.2.3 Fusing AC input The Combi unit is equipped with a fuse at AC input side. In case of overload or charger error, this fuse will blow. Note: Only replace fuse with same type. (see electrical specification charger) Damage caused by wrong fuse replacement is not covered by the guarantee. AC output The inverter section is fully protected against short circuit and overload, no fuse is required at AC output side.

G3-Combi ANNEX A WARNING! INFORMATION ABOUT ACID-BATTERIES Working with batteries is dangerous! Batteries generate explosive gasses! Therefore it is of outmost importance that each time you serve equipment in the vicinity of the battery, to follow the battery instructions very accurate. Never smoke or allow a spark or a flame in the vicinity of a battery. 1.
G3-Combi 2. Battery-installation Before installing the batteries, clean the contact surfaces of the lead terminal post and battery terminals with a battery brass wire brush. Apply a thin coat of Vaseline to all contact points and connector bolts. After all connections have been securely tightened; they should be gone over and tightened a second time.
G3-Combi the useful life of the battery. Remove dirt and dust accumulations from the top of the battery. Wash the top of the battery with clean hot water and soda solution to neutralize any acid accumulation. Baking soda used in the home is satisfactory. Rinse with clean water and dry. Ensure vent caps are in place and no soda enters the battery. 3.1 Check of electrolyte In the case of regular or low maintenance batteries: - Check the height of the electrolyte twice a month.
G3-Combi ANNEX B WARRANTY Installation, operation, technical support, warranty and service issues should in the first case be directed towards the outlet at which the Clayton Power devices are purchased. CAUTION & WARNING: DO NOT USE OR ATTEMPT TO USE THIS PRODUCT UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS USER'S MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY.
