c) Connection to a Direct Voltage Source
 • Donotwearanymetalorconductivematerials,suchasjewellery(necklaces,bracelets,rings,etc.).A
shortcircuitattherechargeablebatteryorinvertercausesadangerofinjury,reandexplosion.
 • Foraconverterwithpoleterminals,asuitableconnectioncablewithasufcientlylargelinecross-sec-
tionmustbeused(seechapter"TechnicalData").Thelongertheconnectioncable,thelargertheline
cross-section has to be. If the line cross-section is too small, the connection cable may grow hot. There
isadangerofre!Keeptheconnectioncablebetweentheconverterandtherechargeablebatteryas
short as possible for this reason.
Very strong overheating may also cause a defect to the insulation of the connection cable, which may
causeshortcircuit.Thereisariskofexplosionoftherechargeablebattery,aswellasdangerofre!
  Aconverterwithpoleterminalsshouldneverbedirectlyconnectedtoadirectvoltagesource(e.g.acar
battery), but only via an accordingly sized fuse. This fuse should be placed as close as possible to the
direct voltage source.
 • Ataconverterwithcigarettelighterplug(types"SW-100"and"SW-150"),theconnectioncablemust
not be cut off, shortened or extended.
 • Beforetheinverterisconnectedtothedirectvoltagesource,itmustbeswitchedoff.
 • Alwaysobservethecorrectpolarity(plus/+andminus/-)forconnectionoftheconverter.
 • Dependingonthepowertakenfromtheinverter,thedirectvoltagesource(e.g.acarbattery)mustbe
able to supply the corresponding current strength.
 • Checkallconnectionsfortighttandgoodelectricalcontactatregularintervals.Hightransferresist-
ancesnotonlyreducetheperformanceoftheinverterbutalsomaycauseoverheatingandre.
 • Theinvertermustnotbeconnectedtoelectricalsystems(e.g.amotorvehicle)wherethepluspoleis
grounded or connected to the chassis of the vehicle.
d) Mains Voltage Output
 • Donotpullthemainsplugfromthemainssocketoftheinverterbypullingthecable.
 • Neverconnecttheoutputoftheinvertertoanother230Vsource(e.g.amainssocket).Theinverter
must not be used to feed mains voltage into an electrical building installation.
 • Inthedeactivatedcondition,thechargedcapacitorsmaystillcausethealternatingvoltagetobe
pending at the mains sockets of the converter.
e) Operation
 • Donotoperatetheinverterunsupervised.
 • Nevertouchtheblanklivecontactsorconnectionterminalsontheinputsideoftheconverter.
 • Evenaftertriggeringtheinternalprotectivedeviceordeviceprotection,partsoftheconvertermaystill
be live!
 • Thehousingoftheinverterwillheatupinoperation(dependingontheoutput).Therefore,always
observesufcientventilationoftheinverter;nevercoveritinoperation.Neverclosetheventilationslots
of the inverter.
Keep a minimum distance of 10 cm from other devices around the housing of the inverter.
