Thank you for choosing an ECTIVE SSI PRO inverter! Devices in the SSI PRO series are the absolute top class of the ECTIVE inverter range. They provide high- quality alternating current with a pure sine wave, which can also be used to operate sophisticated and complex electronic loads: Power just like from a 230 V earthed socket at home - anytime and anywhere.
Scope of Delivery Products in the ECTIVE SSI PRO series include the following elements. Please check that the scope of delivery is complete before installation and commissioning: ■ 1 × ECTIVE SSI PRO-Inverter High-quality inverter with integrated IUoU charger, MPPT solar charge controller, Please refer to the list below for the technical details of your model.

Observe the maximum total output of the connected loads. Some loads require a short-term ■ starting current at start-up, which can be significantly higher than the regular operating current. For this purpose, ECTIVE SSI PRO inverters can supply 150 % power for 10 seconds or 200 % power for 2 seconds. ■...
Product Overview Regardless of which model of the ECTIVE SSI PRO series you have chosen, the connections and opera- ting elements are arranged according to the following overview. Please observe the technical specifica- tions and performance values applicable to your model when using it.

In addition, all instructions in the ‘Safety instructions’ section must be followed to ensure safe operation. Inverters of the ECTIVE SSI PRO series are intended exclusively for use in stand-alone, so-called ■ ‘off-grid’ areas. Never connect an AC voltage source to the 230 V output of the inverter (earthed socket)! Such a connection poses a risk to life as well as immediate and irreparable damage to the inverter.

Personal protection in the TN network Inverters from the ECTIVE PRO series provide a so-called TN grid. This is an ‘earthed system’ - the neutral point of the system is directly earthed via the operating earth electrode and all bodies of the individual loads are connected to the operating earth electrode (PE).
Integrated protective circuits, durable power electronics and intelligent microprocessor control of the ECTIVE SSI PRO inverters guarantee a high overload capacity. This means you can also use loads with high starting currents or short-term high peak consumption safely and without restrictions: ■...

ECO Mode (Battery Priority) and UPS Mode (Mains Priority) Inverters in the ECTIVE SSI PRO series can be operated in ECO mode or in UPS mode. In ECO mode (battery priority), the inverter supplies the loads with power from the connected battery, even if the system is connected to shore power.

Disconnect the battery from the inverter by disconnecting the connecting cables or using a circuit ■ breaker to prevent deep discharge of the battery. Store the inverter out of the reach of children in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight. ■ ECTIVE SSI Pro Inverter | Operation...
Battery and Solar Charger Inverters in the ECTIVE SSI PRO series have an integrated battery charger with IUoU charging characteristic and an advanced MPPT solar charge controller. Integrated Battery Charger The right charging process for all battery technologies: In addition to standard wet batteries, the integrated multi-stage charger is also suitable for AGM, gel and LiFePo4 batteries (with BMS).
