1. DESCRIPTION

2. CONNECTIONS Connect the red cable of the battery's "+" terminal (red terminal) with the inverter's

"+" binding post (red connection) and the black cable of the battery's "-" terminal (black terminal) with the inverter's "-" binding post (black connection). The cable is ≤ 2m. Be sure to tighten the screws in order to avoid loose connection.

3. FUSE Please check the fuse on the cable if the blackout indicator is not lit during

operation. Replace a blown fuse with an identical one. Please refer to "14. SPECIFICATIONS".

4. OUTPUT CAPACITY The inverter will switch off automatically if the total wattage of the electrical

appliances exceeds the inverter's output capacity. This will also happen if the temperature of the inverter exceeds 55°C due to prolonged use.

5. OPERATION Always activate the inverter before activating the appliance connected with the

inverter. The buzzer will sound when the battery voltage is very low, indicating that the

inverter will be disconnected in a couple of minutes. In case of overload, the inverter will automatically try to engage the soft-start

mode until the user diminishes the load.

6. SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Unplug the AC inverter when it is not in use and when starting the vehicle's motor. If the AC inverter makes a beeping sound : switch off your appliance, unplug the inverter and

restart your vehicle's engine. The beeping sound is simply the battery-low indication, warning you that the voltage of your battery is getting low. Your inverter will shut down automatically if you do not restart your engine and continue to use your inverter. This will leave your vehicle's battery at about 10.5VDC (12V-version) / 21VDC (24V-version), enabling you to start your engine and resume operation of the inverter. It also eliminates the possibility of being stranded with a dead battery.

To avoid over-discharging the battery, it is advisable to let your engine run for 10 to 20 min. for every 2-3 hours of using the AC inverter. This allows the battery to recharge.

Please remember to connect the "+" wire to the "+" terminal and the "-" wire to the "-" terminal if you choose to use an adapter for a direct connection between the AC inverter and the battery terminals. IF YOU CONNECT THE WIRES TO INCORRECT TERMINALS, THE POLARITY WILL BE REVERSED AND THIS WILL DAMAGE THE INVERTER. REVERSED POLARITY WILL INSTANTLY VOID YOUR INVERTER'S WARRANTY.

Please remember to disconnect the AC inverter before connecting the battery charger in order to replenish your battery. Failure to disconnect the inverter prior to connecting a charger may result in an input spike that will damage the inverter. CONNECTING THE INVERTER'S INPUT TO A BATTERY CHARGER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY DAMAGE THE INVERTER.

Make sure the voltage never exceeds 15VDC (12V-version) or 30VDC (24V-version). CONNECTING THE INVERTER TO A DC POWER SOURCE SUPERIOR TO 15VDC (12V-version) or 30VDC (24V-version) WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY DAMAGE THE INVERTER. THE INVERTER WILL BE SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY.

Pay attention when connecting a device to a PI. The manuals of many devices list the nominal power and NOT the startup power. The PI’s are protected against overload and this can cause the connected devices to start up with difficulty or not at all. Read the manual of the device to know the peak power or consult the manufacturer. The PI of the type ...MN/...BN has a modified sine output (viz. square wave). Read the manual of your PI. This means that a 300W device may experience difficulties starting up or may not work at all when connected with e.g. a PI300…N.

7. ADDING EXTENSION CORDS We recommend that the buyer refrain from using an extension cord between the

DC power source and the inverter's DC input. Connecting an extension cord to the DC input will create a voltage drop which, in turn, entails reduced efficiency. Instead, we recommend using an extension cord to link the AC output and the AC appliance. You can use up to 100ft (30m) of high-quality extension cord. A longer cord may result in reduced power.

8. EARTHING CONNECTION

WARNING : YOU MUST PROVIDE THE INVERTER WITH AN EARTHING CONNECTION BEFORE YOU USE IT.

• In a stationary land-based installation, the earthing terminal should be

connected to a metal earthing stake driven into the ground to a minimum depth of 1.2m. One of the battery terminals (preferably the negative one) should also be connected to the earthing stake if the battery system powering the inverter is not equipped with a ground connection.

• If the inverter is used in a vehicle, where it is wired directly to the battery, the

earthing terminal is simply connected to the chassis of that vehicle. If, however, the inverter has to power equipment used outside the vehicle, an earthing stake should be used as described above.

• Connect the earthing terminal to the existing grounding system when the

inverter is used on a boat.

NOTE : The earthing terminal of the AC outlet is connected to the neutral terminal.

This is the same as with a standard household power point where the neutral connection is bonded to earth and there is no voltage between the two.

9. MEASURING AC VOLTAGES The output wave of the AC inverter is a MODIFIED SINEWAVE. An AUTHENTIC

RMS VOLT METER is required to measure the AC output voltage. Using any other type of voltage measuring device will result in an AC voltage reading that is up to 20 to 30V lower than the rated value. Only an authentic RMS voltmeter provides an accurate reading.

PI300W // 12V & 24V VELLEMAN

10. VENTILATION IMPORTANT ! Make sure the fan keeps revolving while the device is in use.

Check for failures if the fan does not work while the inverter is being used. Make sure the fan is not blocked in order to avoid poor ventilation.

GOOD

11. CAUTION In case of trouble with the AC output, e.g. short circuit, overload, etc… the

protection circuit will automatically cut off the output. In such cases : (A) switch off the power at once (B) disconnect all devices (C) check the connected devices (D) you can use the devices again as soon as the problems

have been solved

Store the inverter in the right environment : (A) well-ventilated (B) not exposed to direct sunlight or any other heat source (C) inaccessible to children (D) safe from water/moisture, oil or grease (E) safe from flammable substances

Connecting the inverter in the wrong way will void the warranty.

12. MAINTENANCE Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating smoothly. Clean

the exterior of the device periodically using a damp cloth in order to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt. Tighten the screws on the DC input terminals whenever you are cleaning the device.

13. REMARK All specifications are typical at nominal input voltage, 50% load and 25°C unless

otherwise noted. All specifications are subject to change without prior notice

WARNING : DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DEVICE AS DOING SO MAY CAUSE HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES !! RETURN THIS DEVICE TO THE DEALER IN CASE OF TROUBLE !!

1. BESCHRIJVING

2. VERBINDINGEN Verbind het rode snoer van het "+" stopcontact (rode aansluiting) van de batterij

met het "+" contactblokje (rode verbinding) van de inverter en verbind het zwarte snoer van het "-" stopcontact (zwarte aansluiting) van de batterij met het "-" contactblokje (zwarte verbinding) van de inverter. De kabel is ≤ 2m lang.

Draai de schroeven goed aan voor een optimale aansluiting.

3. ZEKERING Kijk de zekering op de aansluitkabel na indien de stroomuitvalindicator niet brandt

terwijl u de inverter gebruikt. Vervang een gesprongen zekering door een identiek exemplaar. Lees "14. SPECIFICATIES".

4. UITGANGSVERMOGEN De inverter wordt automatisch uitgeschakeld indien de totale wattage van de

elektrische apparaten het uitgangsvermogen van de spanningsinverter overstijgt. Hetzelfde geldt indien de temperatuur van de inverter door te intensief gebruik oploopt tot meer dan 55°C.

PI300W // 12V & 24V VELLEMAN

5. BEDIENING Schakel altijd eerst de inverter in en dan pas het toestel dat erop aangesloten is. De buzzer weerklinkt wanneer de batterijspanning zeer laag is. Dit wijst erop dat

de inverter binnen enkele minuten automatisch zal worden uitgeschakeld. Bij overbelasting zal het toestel automatisch proberen de soft-start mode in te

schakelen zolang u de belasting niet heeft verminderd.
