Safety Precautions 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS README WARNING: Before you install and use your IT SERIES AC Power Inverter, be sure to read and save these safety instructions. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the Vanner Power Group IT SERIES Power Inverter as prescribed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Safety Precautions 8. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the AC and DC connections to the inverter before attempting any maintenance. Simply turning the inverter off does not prevent electrical shock. 9. The inverter must be properly grounded in accordance with local and national codes and ordinances before operation. For most installations, the negative (ground) conductor should be bonded to the grounding system at one and only one point in the system. 10.

Component Identification and Description of Operation (4) Auto Throttle Indicator Light (Volt Guard Feature) (see also item (32.3) Terminal 6 Auto Throttle Control Terminal) Light Display Description Green Light is ON The Auto Throttle Signal (ground signal) is ON due to battery voltage remaining below 12.6 (25.2) volts for 15 seconds. The Indicator Light and the Auto Throttle Signal will remain ON until battery voltage remains above 13.8 (27.0) volts for 15 seconds.

Component Identification and Description of Operation (32.3) Auto Throttle Control (Volt Guard) Terminal 6 (See also item (4) Auto Throttle Indicator Light) The Auto Throttle Control (Volt Guard Feature) provides a ‘ground signal’ at Terminal 6 and turns ON the Auto Throttle Indicator Light whenever battery voltage remains below 12.6 (25.2) volts for more than 15 seconds. The ‘ground signal’ and the indicator light both turn OFF after battery voltage remains above 13.8 (27.0) volts for 15 seconds.
Component Identification and Description of Operation (32.5) Remote Low Battery Warning Terminal 8 (See also item (5) Low Battery Warning Indicator Light (Low DC Warning) Terminal 8 is designed to provide ground control for a Bosch relay, Vanner part number 05235 or equal, to operate in conjunction with the Low DC Warning Indicator Light. Use the Bosch relay to operate an audible alarm, lights or other warning device.
Installation and Start-up 5 INSTALLATION and START-UP Unpacking the Inverter 1. Inspect the shipping container and equipment for loose or damaged parts. If any damage is found, immediately notify the freight carrier. Inverter Installation Considerations 1. Mounting: Locate a secure, dry, flat horizontal or vertical surface large enough to mount the inverter.
Installation and Start-up 7. Proper DC cable size is critical for the performance and safe operation of the inverter system. The DC Cable and Fuse Sizing Chart shows the minimum recommended cable sizes. These sizes allow a ½ volt maximum voltage drop at maximum inverter capacity and will insure optimum inverter performance. Quick DC cable connectors are available. See Parts and Accessories. 8. Do not use the vehicle chassis as the DC negative conductor.
Installation and Start-up 4. Remove the cover plate on the DC cable compartment to expose the positive and negative DC contacts and the Remote Control Terminal Block. 5. Prepare DC cable ends. Use ring terminals or, if using the optional D08241 Compression Lugs, leave the cable ends bare. Figure 11 UL Listed Ring Terminals for DC Cables Wire Gauge Molex Part No.
Installation and Start-up Remote Control Wiring Installation 1. Refer to the wiring sketches found in the Component Identification and Description of Operation section, item (32), Remote Control Terminal Block. Use fuses where indicated. 2. Use cable clamp provided to secure wiring. A plastic plug is provided for the unused opening. AC Output Wiring Installation Procedure WARNING: Before proceeding with the AC wiring, verify that the inverter is OFF and that the inverter is NOT connected to the battery.
Preventive Maintenance and Trouble Shooting Procedure 6 Preventive Maintenance and Trouble Shooting Procedures There are no user serviceable components inside the inverter. If the inverter requires service, refer to the Vanner Power Group or other qualified service personnel. Preventive Maintenance For continued reliability and safety, a monthly maintenance program should be implemented to include the following: 1. Check to insure that all wiring connections are tight, secure and corrosion free. 2.
Preventive Maintenance and Trouble Shooting Procedure Problem: Check: Overload Indicator Light is ON when AC load is applied. Verify AC load is within the inverter’s rated capacity. Remove excessive loads. Problem: Check: DC fuse blows when connecting DC input cables. Check for reverse polarity (Positive and negative DC cables reversed.) Problem: Check: Excessive audible buzzing during inverter operation but inverter operates loads. Check mounting bracket bolt tightness.
