Scope of Delivery Products in the ECTIVE TSI PRO series include the following elements. Please check that the scope of delivery is complete before installation and commissioning: ■ 1 × ECTIVE TSI PRO Inverter High-quality inverter with grid priority circuit. Please refer to the list below for the technical details of your model.
Page 5
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 TSI PRO inverters can supply 150 % power for 10 seconds or 200 % power for 2 seconds. ■...
Product Overview Regardless of which model of the ECTIVE TSI 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.

Useful accessories not included in scope of delivery. With the ECTIVE RC PRO remote control, you always have many relevant values of your system in view and can conveniently choose between ECO, UPS mode and pure inverter operation at any time.
Installation Please observe the following installation instructions when installing your ECTIVE TSI PRO inverter: ■ Disconnect the inverter from the power supply before installing or working on the device. Never open the housing of the inverter. ■ Only mount or screw the inverter to solid mounting surfaces.

The inverter can be mounted both horizontally and vertically. Minimum distance for sufficient ventilation The distance between ventilation elements and the nearest surface must be at least 10 cm. Ventilation slots and fans must not be covered. ECTIVE TSI Pro Inverter | Installation...

When installing in confined spaces, observe the minimum distance of 10 cm in front of the ventilation elements! ECTIVE TSI 10 PRO ECTIVE TSI 15 PRO ECTIVE TSI 20 PRO ECTIVE TSI 25 PRO ECTIVE TSI 30 PRO 6 mm Protruding connections Mounting panel ECTIVE TSI Pro Inverter | Installation...
In addition, all instructions in the ‘Safety instructions’ section must be followed to ensure safe operation. Inverters of the ECTIVE TSI 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.

12 V batteries! In the following example, three ECTIVE LC 100 LiFePO4 batteries with a capacity of 100 Ah each were connected in parallel. The total capacity is 300 Ah and is therefore sufficient to operate a TSI 30 PRO as intended.

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 TSI 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 TSI PRO series can be operated in ECO mode or 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 TSI Pro Inverter | Operation...
If the shore power connection is disconnected a second time, the inverter switches back to inverter mode. The batteries are emergency discharged to a battery voltage of 10.2 V. If the battery voltage falls below this threshold, the batteries are no longer supplied with power. ECTIVE TSI Pro Inverter | ECO and UPS Modes...
