Page 3: Welcome
Thank you for choosing an ECTIVE CSI PRO inverter! Devices in the CSI PRO series are among the most advanced inverters from ECTIVE. 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. -
Page 4: Scope Of Delivery
Scope of Delivery Products in the ECTIVE CSI PRO series include the following elements. Please check that the scope of delivery is complete before installation and commissioning: ■ 1 × ECTIVE CSI PRO Inverter High-quality inverter with integrated IUoU charger. 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 CSI PRO inverters can supply 150 % power for 10 seconds or 200 % power for 2 seconds. ■...

Page 11: Installation
Installation Please observe the following installation instructions when installing your ECTIVE CSI 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. - Page 12 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.

Page 14: Connections And Commissioning
In addition, all instructions in the ‘Safety instructions’ section must be followed to ensure safe operation. Inverters of the ECTIVE CSI 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. - Page 15 CSI 25 PRO, CSI 30 PRO Small Device (USB) RC PRO Remote Control Small Device (USB) Shore Power 230 V Consumer 230 V Shore Power RC PRO Consumer AC Consumers Remote Control ECTIVE CSI Pro Inverter | Connections and Commissioning...
- Page 16 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 CSI 30 PRO as intended.
- Page 17 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).

Page 18: Operation
Integrated protective circuits, durable power electronics and intelligent microprocessor control of the ECTIVE CSI 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: ■... - Page 19 ECO Mode (Battery Priority) and UPS Mode (Mains Priority) Inverters in the ECTIVE CSI PRO series can be operated in ECO mode or in UPS mode. In ECO mode (battery priority circuit), the inverter supplies the loads with power from the connected battery, even if the system is connected to shore power.
