4 Owners Manual INSTALLATION 4.1 Unpacking the Inverter 4.2 Inverter Installation Considerations Inspect the shipping container and equipment for loose or damaged parts. If any damage is found, immediately notify the freight carrier. The wiring of your inverter installation should conform to the National Electric Code (NEC) and any other state or local codes in effect at the time of installation.
Owners Manual ¡ ¢ The Table below shows the recommended minimum cable size, and lug, which should be used. Wire sizing charts published in the NEC may allow a greater amp capacity than we recommend. We have sized the cable for a mimimum voltage drop to maintain better performance of your inverter installation. For best performance, wire the DC negative directly back to the battery, do not use the vehicle chassis as the DC negative conductor.
Owners Manual £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ ¦ § © ª « ¬ to mount fuse in an easily accessible location for replacement. It is also “good practice” to note on the inverter to check the fuse condition before involving any troubleshooting procedure. 6. Connect Bonding Lug. ( see 22 ). Use 8 AWG or larger copper conductor to connect chassis bonding lug to the vehicle chassis. 7. Connect the negative DC input cable to the battery negative (-) terminal.
Owners Manual ® ¯ ° ± ² ° ± ³ ´ µ ¶ Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5 2 No Light No Fault Conditions 2 Solid Red Inverter is in Overtemp/Overload/or Battery Low Mode Locate a suitable place to install the remote panel such as a flat surface near the power control/distribution panel or driver’s compartment. The mounting surface should have sufficient back space to accommodate the remote panel's min. depth and cable routing requirements of 1 ½”.

Plug AC output test light (eg. 100 watt trouble light) into 15A convenience receptacle and turn on to verify inverter produces AC power and the Load Demand function powers up from stand-by mode. Applying any AC load greater than 5 Watts should start inverter from Load Demand “stand by” mode. 11. Connect and activate AC shore/power (or generator). 12.
Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ Ä Å Ç È É Ê Owners Manual supplies a constant current charge output. Connect an ammeter to the DC cables between the inverter and the battery to monitor the current (DC amps), and a volt meter to the battery to monitor the battery voltage rising. After some time, the battery voltage rises to the Absorption voltage (14.4 VDC for wet batteries or 14.1 VDC for gel batteries). The Charger-Bulk light continues to flash, indicating the charger is in Bulk or Absorption mode.
Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Î Ï Ñ Ò Ó Ô Figure 1 Owners Manual Battery Charging Graph Automatic Power Transfer Switch Theory of Operation The function of the Automatic Transfer Switch is to automatically accept AC input power from shore or generator, and use this power to operate inverter loads and to provide power for battery charging. Upon loss of AC input power, the transfer switch automatically switches the AC loads back to inverter power. Transfer time is approximately 30 milliseconds (0.030 seconds). The 0.
Õ Ö × Ø Ù Ú Ø Ù Û Ü Ý Þ 7 Owners Manual PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE There are no user serviceable components inside the inverter. For service refer to the Vanner Incorporated Service Department or other qualified service personnel. 7.1 Maintenance Items For continued reliability and safety, a monthly maintenance program should be implemented to include the following: 1. 1 2 3 7.2 Check to insure that all DC and AC wiring connections are secure and corrosion free.
ß à á â ã ä â ã å æ ç è Owners Manual Symptom Solution BATTERY LOW light illuminates when AC load is applied. Check battery connections. Check battery condition. Recharge battery if voltage is less than 10.5 VDC. Check the charging system for proper operation (vehicle alternator, generator). Symptom Solution OVERTEMP light illuminates. Something has caused the unit to overheat. Check for obstruction of air flow to the cooling fan or from ventilation holes.
é ê ë ì í î ì í ï ð ñ ò 8 8.1 Owners Manual APPENDICES Problem Loads Although modified sine wave inverters will operate most AC loads, some loads may exhibit problems because the wave form is different than the pure sine wave of utility power. This is due to the square wave components and that the peak voltage is not quite as high as a pure sine wave.
ó ô õ ö ÷ ø ö ÷ ù ú û ü 8.2 Owners Manual DC Power Consumption An inverter takes in DC power, and produces AC power to operate attached loads. In general, we can see a direct relationship between DC input power and AC output power. This allows us to establish the following rule: For every 10 watts of AC output power, an inverter requires one amp of DC input power on a 12 volt input inverter. Example: An inverter powering a 1,000 watt AC load requires 100 amps DC.
