The wave inverter converts direct current into a 230 – 240 V AC supply of 50 Hz or
60 Hz:
• 12 Vg: DSP1312T, DSP1812T, DSP 2312T, DSP3512T
• 24 Vg: DSP1324T, DSP1824T, DSP 2324T, DSP3524T
Never use the inverter on vehicles where the positive terminal of the
battery is connected to the chassis.
7Technical description
The inverters can be operated wherever a DC connection is available:
• 12 Vg: DSP1312T, DSP1812T, DSP 2312T, DSP3512T
• 24 Vg: DSP1324T, DSP1824T, DSP 2324T, DSP3524T
The light-weight and compact construction of this device allows for easy installation
in mobile homes, commercial vehicles or motor and sailing yachts.
The output voltage corresponds to the household voltage from the socket (pure sine
wave, THD < 3 %).
Please observe the values for constant output power and peak output power as
indicated in chapter “Technical data” on page 23. Never connect devices that have
a higher power requirement.
NOTE
I
Note when connecting devices with an electrical drive (such as power
drills and refrigerators), that they often require more power than is
indicated on the type plate.

Technical descriptionSinePower
The inverter has various protective mechanisms.
• Overvoltage shutdown: The inverter shuts itself off when the voltage exceeds
the cut-off value. It restarts when the voltage returns to the restart value.
• Undervoltage shutdown: The inverter shuts itself off when the voltage sinks
below the cut-off value. It restarts when the voltage rises to the restart value.
• Excess temperature shutdown: The inverter switches off when the tempera-
ture inside the device or the temperature on the cooling element exceeds a cutoff value. It restarts when the voltage rises to the restart value.
• Overloading and short circuit shutdown: The LED on the inverter indicates
an operating fault when an excess load is connected or a short circuit has
occurred. The fuse in the device must be pressed in again by hand after it is
triggered by excess current.
NOTE
I
The inverter can be operated in the following network configurations:
• TN network:
The neutral conductor of the inverter is grounded. A downstream safety switch
(RCD) must be installed.
• IT network:
Both phases are insulated. This is suitable for operating one load. If more than
one load will be connected a protection plan has to be set up (e. g. insulation
monitor).
The individual values are found in the chapter “Technical data” on
page 23.
The network configuration is set via a DIP switch at the device.
The inverters DSP13xxT, DSP18xxT, DSP 23xxT have a connection cable with socket
and plug. The inverter DSP35xxT is directly connected at the terminals via the PG
glands.
Due to the phase synchronisation the inverter adapts to the phase of the AC input
voltage. Thereby voltage peaks are prevented when switching from battery to
mains.
The inverter is suitable for operating sensitive consumers because the output voltage
is a pure sinus wave.
The inverter is fitted with a priority circuit. If an external 230 Vw voltage is available,
this will have priority. If no external 230 Vw voltage is connected, then the connected battery will be used as the power supply.

8.1Tools required
Before fitting the inverter, you should connect all cables because all
connections are freely accessible.
For the electrical connection you will need the following tools:
• Crimping tool
• 3 multi-coloured, flexible connection cables. Determine the necessary thickness
from the table in chapter “Connecting the inverter” on page 14.
• Cable lugs and conductor sleeves
For fastening you will require the following tools:
• Machine bolts (M4) with washers and self-locking nuts or
• self-tapping screws or wood screws.

8.2Mounting instructions
When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions:
• The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
• The inverter must be installed in a place that is protected from moisture.
• The inverter may not be installed in the presence of flammable materials.
• The inverter may not be installed in a dusty environment.
• The place of installation must be well ventilated. A ventilation system must be
available for installations in small, enclosed spaces. The minimum clearance
around the inverter must be at least 5 cm (fig. 3).
• The ventilation holes on the front and back of the inverter must remain clear.
• For ambient temperatures higher than 40 °C (such as in engine or heating
compartments, or direct sunlight), the inverter may shut down although the
connected load is below the rated load (derating).
• The device must be installed on a level and sufficiently sturdy surface.
NOTICE!

Before drilling any holes, make sure that no electrical cables or other
parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.

9.1General instructions
WARNING!
!
• When installed in vehicles or boats, the inverter must be connected to the chassis
or earth.
• When setting up a socket distribution circuit (mains setup), comply with the
applicable regulations.
• Only use copper cables.
• Keep the cables as short as possible (< 1 m).
• For grounding use a cable with a minimum cross section of 4 mm².
• Keep to the specified cable cross section and fit a cable fuse (fig. 6 1) as close
to the battery as possible on the positive cable (see the table).
• The inverter may only be connected by a qualified workshop. The
following information is intended for technicians who are familiar
with the guidelines and safety precautions to be applied.
• Never use the inverter on vehicles where the positive terminal of the
battery is connected to the chassis.
• If you do not fit a fuse to the positive cable, the cables can over-
load, which might result in a fire.
