    WARNINGS: • For indoor use only. • Do not use if the inverter is damaged. • Hazardous voltage inside - do not attempt to open or repair. • Read all manuals and instructions before connecting or using the inverter. • Only connect 220/230/240V AC appliances that are in good condition. •...
  • Page 3: What Is An Inverter

    WHAT IS AN INVERTER? Inverters are designed for powering household appliances from a battery or low voltage DC source. They are electronic devices that convert battery power to AC mains power. Inverters are compact and often lightweight making them an ideal source of portable mains power.
  • Page 4 CONNECTIONS / CONTROLS & ACCESSORIES After unpacking your inverter take a moment to check that you have the correct model (A301 = 12V, A302 = 24V) and all the correct accessories are included. Familiarize yourself with the connections and the controls on the inverter. Part No.
  • Page 5 • The inverter must always be protected from rain, water and moisture. Meanwell inverters are designed for indoor use only. For best performance the inverter must be used or mounted in a cool, dry, clean and well-ventilated area. For best TV and Radio reception keep the inverter as far away from TV's, radios, antenna cables and antennas as possible.
  • Page 6 • Batteries can be dangerous, follow all battery manufacturer's instructions and warnings. • Meanwell inverters are designed FOR INDEPENDENT USE ONLY. The inverter cannot be connected to household wiring whether the building is connected to the electricity grid or not.
  • Page 7 EXTERNAL EARTHING: (OPTIONAL) Meanwell inverters have been internally bonded for safety, by connecting the AC socket/s earth pin to the inverter case. If the inverter is used in a stationary land based application or if the inverter is causing interference with TV sets or radios it is recommended that an external earth connection is made by one of the following methods: •...
  • Page 8: Operation

    PROTECTION FEATURES Meanwell inverters include sophisticated circuitry that monitors the operation of the inverter and turns the inverter off if a problem is detected. A fault light will illuminate and an audible alarm may be heard if this occurs.
  • Page 9 This may occur due to highly inductive loads such as any appliance with a motor causing a sudden peak load on the inverter. If this occurs, switch "OFF" the appliance and the inverter. After 5 seconds turn the inverter "ON" and the inverter will provide power again. Turn the appliance "ON", if the inverter shuts down more than 3 times, it is likely that the appliance is drawing more load than the inverter can supply, and a larger inverter would be recommended.

    CONNECTING AN APPLIANCE AND RUNNING THE INVERTER • Connect the appliance AC plug to the inverter AC outlet socket. " " " " • Switch the inverter , the Green power light will illuminate to indicate operation. " " " "...
  • Page 11 or 1000 Watt inverter may be needed. • Capacitive loads such as many TV's or many electronic appliances (desktop computer, monitor etc.) require a large surge current to start only when they have not been used for a while. This is often due to large capacitors in the switched mode power supply that must be quickly charged when the appliance is turned on.
  • Page 12 MSW inverters but check with the manufacturer first. The Clipsal 32V and Kambrook KD2 power board with dimming outlet were tested with a Meanwell MSW inverter and they worked fine, hence some AC dimmers can work with MSW inverters! Note, dimmers and speed controllers with "soft-start" capability are an excellent way to reduce and limit the start-up current impact on the inverter.
  • Page 13: Warranty

    WARRANTY Meanwell Modified Sine Wave Inverters are covered by a 12 Month Warranty. Failure to follow the operating instructions may damage the inverter and may void the warranty. Please read the operating instructions carefully before use. DISCLAIMER All specifications are subject to change without notice. Any circuit diagrams or assembly diagrams provided with equipment are for reference purposes only.
