1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the KISAE Sinewave Inverter-Charger. With our state of the art, easy to use design, this product will offer you reliable service by providing True Sinewave AC power for your home, cabin, boat, RV or trailer and recharge your battery automatically when utility AC is available. The Sinewave Inverter-Charger can run many AC-powered appliances when you need AC power anywhere. The multi-stage battery charger will charge different types of batteries.
3. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIT WARNING: It is recommended 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.
Typical Wiring Block Diagram of Inverter-Charger: A Battery Bank • The use of deep cycle battery is highly recommended for power inverter application • For battery size, you need to identify how much and for how long the inverter has to provide AC power to the loads (based on Amps x hour energy consumption). It is recommended to purchase as much battery capacity as possible.
D DC Input Cable • All DC Input Wires should be insulated multi-strand low resistance wires. • The DC wires must be copper and with minimum 105℃ rating. Model 12V 2000W series 12V 3000W series 24V 2000W series 24V 3000W series Thinnest DC Input Wires Gauge Used ≤ 5 feet (Recommended) ≤ 7.
H AC Output Socket and I AC Output Thermal Breaker: A single AC Output socket is provided for direct AC output from the unit. An overcurrent protective device (thermal breaker) is connected in series with the AC Output Socket to avoid excessive current being drawn from it.
4. INSTALLING THE UNIT WARNING: Explosion hazard! • DO NOT install the unit near flammable fumes or gases (such as propane tanks or large engines). • AVOID covering the ventilation openings. Always operate unit in an open area. Choosing the location: The unit should only be installed in locations that meet the following requirements: • Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash on the unit.
• Connect another DC input cable between the other terminal of the fuse holder or DC rated circuit breaker to the battery positive terminal. Note: For Marine application, either the DC fuse or DC rated circuit breaker needs to be installed within 7 inches (17.8cm) from the battery positive terminals. • Install the selected fuse to the fuse holder.
BTS (Battery Temperature Sensor) Connection (optional): To provide more accuracy and precision on battery voltage charging against battery temperature, a BTS (sold separately) can be used. The BTS can also be used to terminate the charging cycle when it senses the temperature of the battery rise to above 60 °C or fall below 0 °C. See ‘Understanding the Error Code’ E19-E21 for more details. Use the following procedure to install the BTS.
5. UNIT OPERATION The unit is preset with factory default settings and will fulfill the basic needs for inverter-charger operation. The display is used to provide information about the unit status and the unit function can be customized through the Display. Once the unit function is customized, the display can be removed if desired, as the unit can run without it.
be modified, press and hold the ‘Menu/Set’ button for 5 seconds and the set parameter will flash on the display. Use the or button to scroll through the available settings. Once the desired setting is chosen, press and hold the ‘Menu/Set’ button until a beeping sound occur and the new setting is saved. - Press ‘Escape’ button once to return back to Normal Operation. (If none of the button is triggered for about 5 seconds, display will also return back to Normal Operation.
Understanding the Display Icons during Unit Operation Icons Meaning Solid: Unit is running in Battery Charger mode and is charging the battery. Solid: Unit is running in By-Pass mode. (The transfer switch is switched to AC Input Source). - AC Output power is running from AC Input Source.
Exploring the Unit Settings a) Inverter and Charger Functions i) Automatic Backup with Battery Charger Function Enabled – Unit Default Setting (‘INT’ = ‘ABU’, ‘CHG’ = ‘ON’) This is the most commonly used setting on the unit. The charger function is enabled and the Inverter is in standby condition when AC Input Source or Shore Power is available. The Inverter will automatically turn on when AC Input source or shore power is interrupted. This provides smooth, uninterrupted AC power to the load.
ii) Automatic Backup with Battery Charger Function Disabled – (‘INT’ = ‘ABU’, ‘CHG’ = ‘OFF’) This is a setting when a second Battery Charging source is use and the unit’s built-in AC Charger function is disabled at all times. Please note that a second battery charging source is required to charge the battery. The Inverter will automatically turn on when AC Input source or shore power is interrupted. This provides smooth, uninterrupted AC power to the load. The inverter is in standby condition.
iii) Manual Backup with Battery Charger Function Enabled – (‘INT’ = ‘MBU’, ‘CHG’ = ‘ON’) This is another commonly used setting on the unit. The charger function is enabled when AC Input Source or Shore Power is available. When there is a blackout, the inverter will not turn On automatically. It requires the user to manually turn on the inverter function when needed.
iv)Manual Backup with Battery Charger Function Disabled – (‘INT’ = ‘MBU’, ‘CHG’ = ‘OFF’) When there is a blackout, the inverter will not turn On automatically. It requires the user to manually turn on the inverter function when needed. The unit’s built-in AC Charger function is disabled at all times. Please note that a second battery charging source is required to charge the battery.
v) No Backup with Battery Charger Function Enabled – (‘INT’ = ‘OFF’, ‘CHG’ = ‘ON’) The unit is used as a Battery Charger with AC Transfer Switch only. AC Output Power is available when AC Input Source or Shore Power is available. The Charger function is enabled when AC Input Source or Shore Power is available. Inverter function is disabled. INT OFF No Backup with Battery Charger Function Enabled CHG ON When AC Input Source or Shore Power is available, unit is running in By-Pass Mode.
vi) Inverter only with No By-Pass or Battery Charger Function – (‘INT’ = ‘ON’, ‘CHG’ = ‘ON or OFF’) This setting is specially designed so that the AC load connected to AC Output is always getting clean sinewave power from the inverter. Press and hold the ‘Power’ button for one second to turn On or Off the Inverter. As the unit is set to Inverter only, it overrides the Charger On/OFF setting, meaning the charger is disabled in any condition.
vii) AC By-Pass only, No Battery Charger and Inverter Function – (‘INT’ = ‘OFF’, ‘CHG’ = ‘OFF’) Unit is running in By-Pass mode only. When AC Input Source or Shore Power is available, AC Output is getting the power from the AC Input Source or Shore Power. Battery Charger function is disabled. When there is a blackout, unit will not provide AC Backup as the inverter function is also disabled. Please note that a second battery charging source is required to charge the battery when this mode is used.
b) Load Sense Function Load Sense Mode This Load Sense function is only effective when the unit is running as inverter (Battery power) mode. ‘Off’: Unit provides continuous AC Output power all the time. 10: Load Sense power setting is set to 10W. Unit will provide continuous AC Output only when the AC load connected to the AC Output is >10W. AC Output will switch back to pulsing AC Output every few seconds when the AC Load connected is approximately 3W or less.
e) Charger Functions Battery Charging Cycle Charging Voltage Setting: Bulk/Absorption (AbS), Float (FLO) and Recharge (rEC) Battery Type Bulk Voltage (Default) Float Voltage (Default) Recharge Voltage (Default) GEL 13.8-14.8V (14.2V) 13.0-14.0 (13.8V) 12.8-14.0 (12.8V) Flooded 13.8-14.8 & 15.8V (14.4V) 13.0-14.0 (13.5V) 12.8-14.0 (12.8V) AGM 13.8-14.8V (14.3V) 13.0-14.0 (13.4V) 12.8-14.0 (12.8V) Lithium 13.8-14.8V (13.9V) 13.0-14.0 (13.5V) 12.8-14.0 (13.2V) Program 13.8-14.8V (13.8V) 13.0-14.0 (13.2V) 12.
Battery Temperature Setting ‘bTM' (voltage adjustment from 25°C setting) No Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) installed There are three settings (Low, Normal, High) available for battery temperature setting. • Setting to ‘Low’ temperature will compensate the charging voltage by +0.675V on GEL and Flooded battery type and +0.525V on AGM battery type. • Setting to ‘Nor’ will have no change to the selected charging voltage. Setting to ‘HI’ temperature will compensate the charging voltage by -0.
