  • Page 7: Parts And Accessories

    Owners Manual Automatic Transfer Switch: The Transfer Switch is a standard feature provided on the Silent Runner. The Transfer Switch automatically allows input power, from an external AC power source such as shore power or a generator, to pass through the inverter output circuit used to operate loads.
  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    If the Vanner inverter system has been dropped or damaged in any way, do not operate until its operation has been verified to be safe by a qualified technician.
  • Page 9: Explosive Gas Precautions

    Owners Manual Explosive Gas Precautions This equipment contains components, which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations, which require ignition, protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.

    Owners Manual INSTALLATION Unpacking the Inverter Inspect the shipping container and equipment for loose or damaged parts. If any damage is found, immediately notify the freight carrier. Inverter Installation Considerations The wiring of your inverter installation should conform to the National Electric Code (NEC) and any other state or local codes in effect at the time of installation.

    Owners Manual No Light No Fault Conditions Solid Red Inverter is in Overtemp/Overload/or Battery Low Mode Steps Locate a suitable place to install the remote panel such as a flat surface near the power control/distribution panel or driver’s compartment. The mounting surface should have sufficient back space to accommodate the remote panel's min.
  • Page 18: Procedure To Check Battery Charger Operation

    Owners Manual Plug AC output test light (eg. 100 watt trouble light) into 15A convenience receptacle and turn on to verify inverter produces AC power and the Load Demand function powers up from stand-by mode. Applying any AC load greater than 5 Watts should start inverter from Load Demand “stand by” mode. Connect and activate AC shore/power (or generator).
  • Page 19: Theory Of Operation

    Owners Manual supplies a constant current charge output. Connect an ammeter to the DC cables between the inverter and the battery to monitor the current (DC amps), and a volt meter to the battery to monitor the battery voltage rising. After some time, the battery voltage rises to the Absorption voltage (14.4 VDC for wet batteries or 14.1 VDC for gel batteries).
  • Page 20 The SR-Series automatically switches back to inverter mode when input power is disconnected or when input power is no longer within tolerance. See SRC12-1100PT Specifications page for AC input voltage tolerances. The 5 second delay occurs only if the inverter is fully ON when input power becomes available.
  • Page 21: Preventive Maintenance

    Examine for any surfaces that are discolored or deformed due to excessive heat. Troubleshooting Procedures The following are the most common questions heard by Vanner service professionals. If your situation does not apply to the following categories, please contact your local Vanner Incorporated Service Center or the Vanner Incorporated Customer Service department: 1-800-AC-POWER (1-800-227-6937).
  • Page 22 Owners Manual Symptom BATTERY LOW light illuminates when AC load is applied. Solution Check battery connections. Check battery condition. Recharge battery if voltage is less than 10.5 VDC. Check the charging system for proper operation (vehicle alternator, generator). Symptom OVERTEMP light illuminates. Solution Something has caused the unit to overheat.
  • Page 23: Appendices

    Owners Manual APPENDICES Problem Loads Although modified sine wave inverters will operate most AC loads, some loads may exhibit problems because the wave form is different than the pure sine wave of utility power. This is due to the square wave components and that the peak voltage is not quite as high as a pure sine wave.
  • Page 24: Dc Power Consumption

    Owners Manual DC Power Consumption An inverter takes in DC power, and produces AC power to operate attached loads. In general, we can see a direct relationship between DC input power and AC output power. This allows us to establish the following rule: For every 10 watts of AC output power, an inverter requires one amp of DC input power on a 12 volt input inverter.
