  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General Please familiarize yourself with the safety features and instructions by first reading the documentation supplied with this product before using the equipment. This product has been designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was designed.

  • Page 6: Transport And Storage

    Ensure that the equipment is used under the correct ambient conditions. Never operate the product in a wet or dusty environment. Ensure there is adequate free space for ventilation around the product and check that the ventilation vents are not blocked. Ensure that the required system voltage does not exceed the product's capacity.

  • Page 8: Battery Charger

    Two outputs to charge 2 battery banks The EasyPlus features 2 outputs, of which 1 can carry the full output current. The second output, limited to approximately 4A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter battery.

  • Page 9: Operation

    If the voltage at the ‘AC-in’ terminal is not within specifications, the inverter will switch on. When the switch is switched to ‘charger only’, only the battery charger of the EasyPlus will operate (if mains voltage is present). In this mode input voltage also is switched through to the ‘AC out’...

  • Page 13: Installation

    4. INSTALLATION This product should be installed by a qualified electrician. 4.1 Location The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10cm around the appliance for cooling. Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following: Reduced service life.

  • Page 14: Connection Of Battery Cables

    Connect the battery cables: the + (red) and the - (black), to the battery see appendix A. Reverse polarity connection (+ to – and – to +) will cause damage to the product. (Safety fuse inside the EasyPlus can be damaged) Secure the nuts tightly in order to reduce the contact resistance as much as possible.
  • Page 15 The solution to this is using an isolation transformer. The mains input & output terminal connector can be found on the bottom of the EasyPlus, see appendix A. The shore or mains cable must be connected to the connector with a three-wire cable.

  • Page 16: Optional Connections

    Undo the four screws at the front of the enclosure and remove the front panel. 4.4.1 Second Battery The EasyPlus has a connection (+) for charging a starter battery. For connection see appendix 1 4.4.2 Temperature Sensor The temperature sensor supplied with the product may be used for temperature-compensated charging.
  • Page 17 DC distribution point must at least equal the sum of the required cross-sections of the connections between the distribution point and the EasyPlus units. - Place the EasyPlus units close to each other, but allow at least 10cm for ventilation purposes under, above and beside the units.
  • Page 18 Batteries should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated area during charging. 5.1 Standard settings: ready for use On delivery, the EasyPlus is set to standard factory values. In general, these settings are suitable for single-unit operation. Warning: Possibly, the standard battery charging voltage is not suitable for your batteries!
  • Page 19 If search mode is ‘on’, the power consumption in no-load operation is decreased by approx. 70%. In this mode the EasyPlus, when operating in inverter mode, is switched off in case of no load or very low load, and switches on every two seconds for a short period. If the output current exceeds a set level, the inverter will continue to operate.
  • Page 20 AES (Automatic Economy Switch) Instead of the search mode, the AES mode can also be chosen (with help of VEConfigure only). If this setting is turned ‘on’, the power consumption in no-load operation and with low loads is decreased by approx. 20%, by slightly 'narrowing' the sinusoidal voltage. Not adjustable with DIP switches.
  • Page 21 *In general, the UPS setting can be left ‘on’ if the EasyPlus is connected to a generator with a ‘synchronous AVR regulated alternator’. The UPS mode may have to be set to ‘off’ if the EasyPlus is connected to a generator with a ‘synchronous capacitor regulated alternator’ or an asynchronous alternator.
  • Page 22 This energy is used in the evenings and at night. An energy shortfall is compensated by the mains. The EasyPlus converts the battery DC voltage to AC. The power is always less than or equal to the power consumption, so that return delivery to the mains does not occur.

  • Page 23: Configuration By Computer

    VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which one EasyPlus unit or systems with a maximum of three EasyPlus units (parallel or three phase operation) can be configured in a simple manner. VEConfigureII forms part of this program.
  • Page 24 5.5 Configuration with DIP switches Some settings can be changed with DIP switches. Procedure: a) Turn the EasyPlus on, preferably without load and without AC voltage on the inputs. The EasyPlus will then operate in inverter mode. b) Set the DIP switches as required.
