28 ECTIVE SI & TSI Series
What is an inverter?
An inverter is a technical device to invert d . c . voltage into sinusoidal alternating voltage .
In the case of the ECTIVE inverter the d . c . voltage is usually provided by a battery . In this
way, the inverter inverts direct into alternating current . The 230 V grounded protected
contact socket of the inverter allows to operate electronic devices independant of positi-
on and autonomously, which usually need a 230 V a domestic power supply .
With the ECTIVE TSI series, you also have the function of a uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) . Existing mains current is here prioritized . If the mains is switched off, the inverter
automatically switches to battery operation within 16 ms and ensures an uninterrupted
operation of your consumers .
ECO-Mode: With the ECO-Mode from TSI5-series you have the additional function of a
battery priority circuit . When the ECO-Mode is switched on and AC- Power is available,
the battery does not use the AC power and the batteries will not be charged . (ECO-Mode
= Energy-Saving-Mode)
The battery priority function is active as long as the battery voltage is over the certain
"cut off"-battery voltage (voltage values see the chart "safety features") .
If this value is deceeded and the shore power is still connected, the inverter returns to
mains priority circuit to avoid battery damage .
