INSTALLATION To install the inverter please follow the instructions on the following pages. If you are unsure of any aspect of the installation please email or call Latronics. Considerations Before Install ● Ensure the inverter has not been damaged in transit.
INSTALLATION DC Wiring ● The inverter is designed to operate on a battery supply only. ● For best performance, the unit should be placed as close as possible, but not directly on top of the battery supply. ● The inverter d.c. input voltage is stated on the identification label of the inverter. Check that it is the same voltage as the battery supply.
Ensure that the a.c. wiring is separated from the d.c. wiring to reduce the occurrence of noise in the installation. ● In standard Latronics inverters the active and neutral of the 240V a.c. output are electrically isolated from the battery negative, battery positive, and earth connections. ●...
INSTALLATION Other Safety Considerations ● If the inverter is used in a manner not specified in this manual or by Latronics, protection provided by this equipment may be impaired ● All standard Latronics inverters have an isolation rating of 3500V between a.c. and d.c. via the toroidal transformer, which provides safe operation.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY Battery Safety CAUTION A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries ● Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. ● Use tools with insulated handles. ●...
BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY Battery Maintenance Battery terminals require frequent care and maintenance. Very high current (up to several hundred amps), is drawn by the inverter when starting electrical motors and other high powered appliances. We recommend an inspection of the batteries and the interconnecting cable connections once every 1-3 months or as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
INVERTER OPERATION LED Indicators Standby/Power (Green LED) Over temp/Over load (Red LED) This LED flashes when in standby mode If the internal temperature exceeds safe operating limits of the components for more than five seconds, the inverter (i.e. no loads connected). When a load is applied the LED will illuminate continuously to will shut down in over temp with this LED on continuously.
INVERTER OPERATION Inverter Features 3 Terminal Circuit Breaker ON/OFF Switch Output Junction Box The circuit breaker is designed for ease of operation and safety. By pushing For distribution of the switch “UP”, the battery supply is connected to the inverter. The circuit output power breaker will turn OFF automatically if too large a load is left on the inverter continuously.
INVERTER CONFIGURATION Dip Switch Location WARNING Due to dangerous voltages existing inside the unit, make sure the circuit breaker switch is turned off before opening the unit. Should you have any doubt about performing these modifications, we strongly recommend the use of a suitably qualified electrical worker.
INVERTER CONFIGURATION Dip Switch Settings In order to access these options you have to open the inverter. Before altering the settings switch inverter OFF, adjust the setting and switch inverter back ON again. We recommend these adjustments be carried out by a suitably qualified electrical worker. 50/60 Hz ON = 50Hz (factory setting) OFF =60Hz...

OTHER ITEMS Fault Finding Procedure Should the inverter appear to be malfunctioning we suggest the following to eliminate any external problems: 1. Turn the inverter “OFF” via the circuit breaker switch on the front panel. 2. Disconnect all a.c. wiring from the inverter. 3.
This imbalance can be evened out by applying more load or trying a different model/brand. Also ensure that the appliance has RCM compliance as uncertified equipment can put unnecessary noise back into the inverter. If you are having trouble with a certain appliance please call Latronics for further assistance.
