4.2 DC ulazni priključak
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.

4.5 Postavke DIP prekidača
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.
- Izlazna frekvencija: Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz based on your regional requirements.
- Izlazni voltage: Odaberite željenu glasnoću AC izlazatage (e.g., 230VAC for this model).
5. Upute za rad
5.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje
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 LED indikatori
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 Način uštede energije
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 Spajanje AC opterećenja
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. Održavanje
Redovito održavanje osigurava optimalne performanse i produžuje vijek trajanja vašeg invertera.
- Čišćenje: Održavajte pretvarač čistim i bez prašine. Za brisanje vanjske strane koristite suhu krpu. Ne koristite tekuća sredstva za čišćenje.
- Ventilacija: Periodically check that the cooling fan and ventilation openings are clear of obstructions.
- Veze: Inspect all DC and AC connections regularly to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
- Održavanje baterije: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your battery bank's maintenance.
7. Rješavanje problema
If the inverter is not functioning correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
- Nema izlazne snage:
- Check DC input connections and battery voltage.
