4.1
The Inverter
An Inverter is built in the Inverter 1600 Pro, which
generates a sinusoidal alternating voltage of a very
high quality. With this Inverter any alternating voltage
consuming appliance 230V AC up to the nominal power
of your Inverter 1600 Pro can be operated.
Thanks to the generous dimensioning of the Inverter
1600 Pro, you can operate appliances requiring higher
power than the nominal power of the Inverter 1600 Pro
for a short time. The Inverter 1600 Pro provides up to
3-times the nominal power to start motors.
4.1.1 Charge detection system „Standby"
In order to avoid unnecessary discharge of the battery,
the inverter switches OFF automatically if no consuming
appliance is connected and switches ON automatically
again if a consuming appliance is connected.
The LED
blinks if the inverter is in Standby-Mode.
The switching-on/starting level can be adjusted with the
turning knob
"Standby".
Adjusting the switching-on level is as follows: Switch
off all consuming appliances; turn the Turning Knob
to the right until the LED
the smallest consuming appliance (i.e. Mobile phone
charger); turn the turning knob slowly to the left until
LED
is lit.
If the Standby mode is not wanted, turn the Turning
Knob
to the left, to the OFF position.
4.1.2 Overload
If the Inverter is too long or too heavily overloaded, it
switches off and LED
seconds the inverter switches on automatically. If the
Inverter is overloaded four times one after the other in a
short time, then it no longer switches on automatically.
The LED
remains lit. Press the push button
OFF" in order to switch on the inverter.
4.1.3 Overheating (Over Temp)
If the Inverter has been overloaded for a long time or it
has been working in a too high surrounding temperature,
it will switch off. The LED
After cooling down, the inverter switches back on
automatically. One minute before the inverter switches
off for too high tem-perature it gives out an acoustic
alarm signal
30
is blinking, switch on
"OFF" blinks. After approx. 10
"Off" blinks.
4.1.4 Battery Condition
Deep discharging of the lead-acid batteries leads to high
losses in capacity and early aging. This is why battery
condition is continuously controlled and supervised.
With low voltage the inverter switches off. The LED
„L/H Batt." is lit and the LED
battery voltage gets up to 24.2V, the Inverter switches
on automatically. One minute before the In-verter switch
off due to low voltage it gives out an acoustic alarm
signal. The low voltage is set to 23.6V.
These settings are standard for most batteries. These
voltage levels are corrected by the built-in Battery-
Management-System of Inverter 1600 Pro by matching
the load and the battery condition. This setting is
comparable with the levels of 21.6V, which are given for
most batteries on nominal load.
All voltage levels (equalization absorption fl oating and
disconnection voltage), can be programmed by mean of
the optional remote control.
4.2
The Battery charger
The full automatic Inverter 1600 Pro Battery Charger is
adjusted at the factory so that most lead-acid and lead-
gel batteries can be charged to the maximum.
As soon as the minimum alternating voltage for the AC
IN set on the Turning Knob
(LED
AC IN is lit), the transfer switch is activated and
the battery charger is switched on automatically (LED
on optional Remote Control Pro is lit).
The battery is fully automatically charged match-ing to
the charge level, the pre-settled voltage levels and the
charge current.
Thanks to the built-in Float Charge System, the batteries
can be left connected for unlimited time with the Battery
Charger switched on.
During the charging phase the consuming appliances at
the output AC OUT are continuously supplied with power
(LED
AC OUT is lit).
