Proceed as follows for connection:
• Switchofftheinverter(switchposition"O").
• Iftheinverteristobeconnectedinavehicle,switchoffthevehicle'signition.
• Checkiftheinputvoltage(12V/DCor24V/DC)indicatedontheinvertermatchesthevoltagesource(e.g.acar
battery) used by you.
If this is not the case, the inverter must not be connected to the voltage source. When connecting to the
wrong input voltage, the converter may be damaged in spite of the comprehensive protection circuits; this
results in loss of warranty/guarantee!
• 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.
 Observethattheactuallyrequiredcurrentishigherduetoconversionlossintheinverter(approx.by20%).
Example:
A consumer with a power consumption of 60 W is connected to the inverter.
For a inverter with an input voltage of 12 V/DC, a current of 5 A results. Due to the conversion loss, the input cur-
rentisapprox.10A+20%=6A.
For a inverter with an input voltage of 24 V/DC, a current of 2.5 A results. Due to the conversion loss, the input
currentisapprox.5A+20%=3A.
• Connecttheconvertertothevoltagesource.
