This manual will explain how to use this unit safely and effectively.
WARNING FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY • When working with electrical equipment or lead acid batteries, have someone nearby in case of an emergency. • Study and follow all the battery manufacturer’s specific precautions when installing, using and servicing the battery connected to the inverter. • Wear eye protection and gloves. • Avoid touching your eyes while using this unit. • Keep fresh water and soap on hand in the event battery acid comes in contact with eyes.
3. Features WARNING • Enerdrive recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure adherence to the applicable electrical safety wiring regulations and installation codes. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and could also result in personal injury or loss of life.
4. Installing the Inverter System WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD • The unit ‘On/Off’ switch does not disconnect the DC power from the battery. To turn off the DC power to the inverter either remove the main DC fuse or switch off the circuit breaker to disconnect the DC power from the inverter before working on any circuits connected to the unit. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. CAUTION • Reversing the DC Input terminal will damage the unit and cannot be repaired.
Battery Bank: • The use of deep cycle battery is highly recommended for power inverter application • For battery size, you need to identify how long you wish to operate the load(s). Enerdrive does recommend that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. See more on “Estimated Run time and Load” in Section 6. • Please use 12V Battery Bank system for 12V DC Input Inverter (EN1106S-12V).
162 mm 184 mm Inverter DC Input Connection: CAUTION • Reversing the DC Input terminal will damage the unit and cannot be repaired. Damage caused by reverse polarity connection is not covered by the warranty. Hardwired Direct Connection: • • • • • • • • • Make sure the main fuse is not connected or breaker is switched off. Attach a positive (+) DC terminal (red) cable on the power inverter. Attach a negative (-) DC terminal (black) cable on the power inverter. Tighten the nut on each DC terminal.
5. Testing the Inverter: • Turn unit on by using the On/Off button on the unit. The ‘Power’ light turns on indicating the Enerdrive Inverter is ON. AC output is now available. • Plug in a small AC load like a 25W table lamp or small appliance to the AC socket to verify AC is available. • The unit is successfully installed and functioning properly. 6. Unit Operation WARNING: RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE • Do not connect an AC power source like utility power or generator to the unit AC outlets.
Understanding the ‘Status’ indicator Function Power Save Function ‘OFF’ Power Save Function ‘ON’ ‘Status’ Indicator Condition Solid Green Unit is normal and continuous AC Output is available Solid Green with alarm beep every 2 seconds Unit is detected with either DC Over/Under Voltage or Over Temperature warning and continuous AC Output is still available Flashing Green Unit is normal and AC Load connected is >10W Flashing between Amber and Red Unit is normal and AC Load connected is <10W or AC
• DC Under Voltage Warning: DC Input Voltage is low and is close to the under-voltage shutdown limit. Check battery voltage or battery connection. • Over Temperature Shutdown: Reduce the AC load and provide more ventilation to the unit. Unit will automatically restart when the internal temperature of the unit cools down. • DC Over Voltage Shutdown / DC Under Voltage Shutdown: 30 seconds, AC Output will resume when battery voltage is within the unit’s operating range.
Estimate Run time on Load: The following run times are an estimate based on using a 12V-120AH battery bank for 12V systems. Actual run time may vary.
