User manual DOMETIC SI 600 ACS 24V

[. . . ] Do not operate the SI 600acs inverter with damaged or substandard wiring. 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 connections between components of the fuel system. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. [. . . ] General Information The SI 600acs Inverter is designed as a stand ­alone power inverter with an AC transfer switch feature which is suitable for RV, marine and emergency appliances. When utility AC power is cut off, the transfer relay is de-energized and the load is automatically transferred to the SI 600acs output. Once the AC utility is restored, the relay is energized and the load is automatically reconnected to the AC utility. This provides with the GFCI safety receptacle easier use of appliances. Please read all instructions and cautionary marking on this manual before using SI 600acs series. Features Product: 600W continuous output with 800W power surge for electronic appliances. pure sine wave output (THD < 3%) to operate higher-end electronic equipment. Built in 7A rating AC transfer switch with plug-in socket that is easy to maintain. Speed up transfer time and synchronized operation with the AC source at all times which allows the transfer to be interruption-free for sensitive equipment. Where to install The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements: 4-1-1. Safety ­ Do not install batteries in a compartment or other areas where flammable fumes existence such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments. Ventilated ­ Allow at least 2 to 3 inches/ 50-75mm of clearance around the Inverter for air flow. Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not obstructed. Dust-free ­ Do not install the SI 600acs Inverter in a dusty environment where there is dust, wood particles or other filings/shavings present. These dusts can be pulled into the unit when the cooling fan is operation. Also do not mount the SI 600acs Inverter where it will be exposed to the gases produced by the battery. These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure also will damage the SI 600acs Inverter. AC Safety Grounding During the AC wiring installation, AC input and output grounding should be present in the connection with the inverter. The AC input grounding must connect to the incoming grounding of your AC utility sources and the AC output grounding should connect to the grounding point for your loads (for example, a distribution panel ground bus). Neutral Grounding (GFCI'S): The neutral conductor of the AC output circuit of the SI 600acs Inverter is automatically connected to the safety ground during inverter operation. This conforms to National Electrical Code requirements that derived AC sources separately (such as inverter and generators) to have their neutral conductors tied to ground in the same way that the neutral conductor from the utility is tied to ground at the AC breaker panel. For models configured with a transfer relay, while AC utility power is in use and the SI 600acs Inverter is in bypass mode, this connection (neutral of the SI 600acs Inverter's AC output to input safety ground ) is not presented so that the utility neutral is only connected to ground at your breaker panel, as required. [. . . ] Power status: Displays power good / fault status LED Status Green Orange Red Blinking Fast Red Blinking Slowly Red Power Status AC power supplied from an external AC source Supply AC power from an inverter OVP: over voltage UVP: under voltage OLP: over load Attempting to service the unit may result in a risk, electrical shock or fire. Short circuit, wiring Check AC wiring for error, or over loading short circuit or reduce load. Maintenance To keep your inverter operating properly, there is very little maintenance required. You should clean the exterior periodically with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt at the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals. [. . . ]
