4.2 Collegamento ingresso CC
Connect the inverter to a 24V DC battery bank using appropriate gauge cables. Ensure the positive (+) terminal of the inverter connects to the positive terminal of the battery, and the negative (-) terminal of the inverter connects to the negative terminal of the battery. Install an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker in the positive DC line close to the battery.

4.3 Chassis Ground Connection
Connect the chassis ground terminal (labeled 'CHASSIS GROUND') to a reliable earth ground point. This is a critical safety step.
4.4 AC Output and Controls
The inverter features a standard AC outlet and control switches on its front panel.

4.5 Impostazioni dell'interruttore DIP
The inverter features DIP switches for configuring output frequency and voltage. Refer to the specifications table (Section 7) or the product label for specific settings. Ensure the inverter is powered off before adjusting DIP switches.
- Frequenza di uscita: Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz based on your regional requirements.
- Volume di uscitatage: Selezionare il volume di uscita CA desideratotage (e.g., 230VAC for this model).
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1 Accensione/Spegnimento
After all connections are secure and verified, switch the main power button on the inverter to the 'ON' position. The LED indicators will illuminate to show the inverter's status. To power off, switch the button to 'OFF'. A remote control terminal is also available for external ON/OFF control.
5.2 Indicatori LED
The 3-color LED indicators provide visual feedback on the inverter's operational status and any potential faults. Consult the product documentation or the specifications table for a detailed explanation of each LED state.
5.3 Modalità risparmio energetico
The power saving mode can be adjusted via a variable resistor. This feature helps reduce quiescent current draw when no load or a very light load is connected, conserving battery power.
5.4 Collegamento dei carichi CA
Plug your AC appliances into the inverter's AC output socket. Ensure the total power consumption does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating (2000W for this model). For inductive loads (e.g., motors, refrigerators), consider their surge power requirements, which can be significantly higher than their running power.
6. Manutenzione
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata del vostro inverter.
- Pulizia: Mantenere l'inverter pulito e privo di polvere. Utilizzare un panno asciutto per pulire l'esterno. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi.
- Ventilazione: Periodically check that the cooling fan and ventilation openings are clear of obstructions.
- Connessioni: Inspect all DC and AC connections regularly to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
- Manutenzione della batteria: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your battery bank's maintenance.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Se l'inverter non funziona correttamente, fare riferimento ai seguenti problemi comuni e alle relative soluzioni:
- Nessuna potenza di uscita:
- Check DC input connections and battery voltage.
- Verify the inverter's power switch is ON.
- Check for blown DC input fuses (if applicable).
- Indicazione di sovraccarico:
- Ridurre il carico totale collegato all'inverter.
- Disconnect and reconnect the load to reset the inverter.
