Installation Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Vanner ITC-Series inverter/charger system. We are confident that you will be satisfied with its performance and its many features. With proper installation and care, you can look forward to years of service from this high performance product.
® INCORPORATED Installation System Features Inverter The inverter consists of a sine wave inverter that supplies power when AC loads are applied. Depending on ® your model, the inverter develops 2100, 3200 or 3600 watts of continuous power. Using TruSine technology, a very high quality sine wave is produced.
® INCORPORATED Installation (Vanner Part # D011339) must be installed in it‟s place to insure that debris does not enter the unit through the opening and to maintain proper airflow through the unit. Specifications Model ITC12-2100 ITC12-3200 ITC24-3600 SP00172 AC OUTPUT...

® INCORPORATED Installation DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Inverter The System ON/OFF Switch, located on the front panel, allows the user to turn the system power ON and OFF and to reset the system after a fault. The Charger ON/OFF and Inverter ON/OFF buttons, located on the Control/Display Unit enable or disable the Charger or Inverter Functions.
® INCORPORATED Installation Battery Charger The battery charger‟s advanced design incorporates an automatic, multi-stage charger. This design enables the unit to automatically charge batteries, which maintains the battery‟s integrity and reduces the likelihood of premature battery failure. In addition, the battery charger can utilize the remote battery temperature sensor to reduce the float voltage based on battery temperature.
® INCORPORATED Installation „Absorption Charge Amps‟ setpoint and the Equalize Voltage 15.5 (30.0) VDC setpoint. The Equalize Charge Cycle provides a deliberate overcharging of the battery to remove sulfate, which accumulates on the battery plates through normal use. Equalizing returns battery cells to equal performance levels, which improves battery performance and extends battery life.
® INCORPORATED Installation GenStart It should be noted that the Generator Start Operation is designed to minimize the generator run time, so at the present set points there is no Absorption stage per se. Therefore, the batteries must be periodically conditioned by leaving the generator on, or charging them with another system.

® INCORPORATED Installation C) Put lugs (For the appropriate wire size called out in Table 4-1) on the ends of the Positive and Negative DC Cable ends with the appropriate terminals. Be sure that all cable strands are completely in the lug to avoid shorting to another conductor.
® INCORPORATED Installation with code. Make certain to route the Signal wires out of the provided port (lower most on the right side of the unit). This is to insure that there are no problems that may arise from the poor insulation properties of most signal level wire.
® INCORPORATED Installation A) With shore power applied, press the Charger ON/OFF button to enable the Charger (if not enabled). The Charge LIGHT should come on and the batteries should begin charging. Remember to reduce the loads on the unit since the APM will limit the available power to the charger based on its settings.
Keep in mind that if information in this manual directly conflicts with instructions from a specific battery or other equipment manufacturer, Vanner recommends that the other manufacturer's recommendations be followed.

® INCORPORATED General Information 100 AH battery is specified to be able to deliver 5 amps for a period of 20 hours. If the discharge current were increased to 25 amps, the capacity will be reduced to approximately 75 AH (25 amps x 3 hours = 75 AH). Operating temperature: A battery becomes less efficient at lower temperatures.
Formatted: Bullets and Numbering CAUTION The following information on battery charger setup adjustments should be used as guidelines only. Vanner strongly recommends that you contact the manufacturer of your batteries to obtain the specific charging setup values for the type and model of battery you are using. This is because battery charging parameters...

® INCORPORATED General Information such as bulk, absorption, float and equalize voltages vary from one manufacturer to another, and that gel cell batteries have different parameters than wet lead acid batteries. An improperly adjusted battery charger may cause damage to your batteries! The maximum charging current for a battery is usually equal to 20% of the battery's Amp hour capacity (“C Rating”) for lead acid batteries, and 50% of the battery's C for gel cell batteries.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 6.1Preventative Maintenance There are no user serviceable components inside the ITC-Series Inverter/charger. For service refer to Vanner Incorporated or other qualified service personnel. Maintenance Items: For continued reliability and safety, a monthly maintenance program should be implemented to include the following: 1.
