Important Safety Information
Before installing ART Power MINI 500/1000/1500/2000VA, please read the
following information carefully and save this manual for further reference.
Disregard of these safety notes may endanger life or health, as well as the
function of the equipment. Special attention must be paid to the CAUTION
and WARNING statements in this manual.
CAUTION
1. To reduce risk of injury, charge ONLY lead-acid type rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may cause damage and injury.
2. DO NOT operate the ART Power MINI if it has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
3. DO NOT expose ART Power MINI to rain, snow or liquids of any type.
ART Power MINI is designed for indoor installation only.
4. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
5. DO NOT obstruct the ventilation openings.
6. Risks of electric shock Heat-sinks are live. Disconnect the AC sources
and the DC source from this unit before servicing.
7. Risk of electric shock.This unit receives power from more than one
source. Disconnect the AC sources and the DC source from this unit
before servicing.
8. Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel.
9. The sum of the leakage current of the ART POWER MINI and the
connected equipment should not exceed 3.5mA.
10. Risk of explosion if battery is incorrectly connected or replaced.

WARNING
1. Provide adequate ventilation from the battery compartment. The battery
enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and concentration
of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment.
2. Input/output AC wiring and battery cables must be rated for 75oC or
higher. Using cables diameter, please refer to appendix A, according to
different models. The inner diameter of the copper ring terminal which is
used to connect battery cables to ART Power MINI DC terminals should
be no less than 6mm.
3. For battery installation and maintenance: read the battery manufacturer’s
installation and maintenance instructions prior to operating.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
2. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
3. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the near vicinity of a battery.
4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches while working with batteries. Batteries can produce short circuit
current high enough to make metal melt, and can cause severe burns.
5. If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the
automatic starting circuit or disconnect the generator to prevent accident
during servicing.

INTRODUCTION
Thanks for purchasing the ART Power MINI 500/1000/1500/2000VA. Properly
used, this product will give you many years of reliable service.
The ART Power MINI series is an electronic product that has been designed and
built to take low DC voltage power from batteries and convert it to standard AC
power like the current you have at home.
The ART Power MINI series is a DC-to-AC with auto line-to-battery transfer and
integrated charging system,
ART Power MINI series, powers from AC power and DC source, serving as
an extended run UPS. When AC cable is connected to a wall socket, utility
power goes to connected equipment(s) and/or charges the battery set via
charging system. In UPS mode, the ART Power MINI series automatically
converts battery energy into AC power for backing up the connected devices.
Features:
zAutomatic line-to-battery switchover
zHigh efficient DC-to-AC conversion, minimizing energy loss.
zRack Tower design for flexible placement
zBuilt-in enhanced charger
zIntelligent 2-stage charger control for efficient charging and preventing
overcharger
zProvides overload protection
zAuto restart while AC recovery
zMulti-function LED/LCD indications and buzzer alarms

Operation & Installation
1. Front Panel Controls and LED Indicators
Shown below are the controls and indicator lights on the front panel of ART
Power MINI series.
Power On/Off
Power ON/OFF button is shown as above. Once inverter has been properly
installed and batteries are connected, press this button and Inverter will turn
on automatically, and works in mains mode or inverter mode according to
input AC sources status. When press this button again, Inverter will turn off
automatically
Mains Mode LED
The green LED will blink or light steadily when power mains is normal.
Inverter Mode LED
The Yellow LED will light when power mains is abnormal. And unit will work
in inverter mode.
Fault LED
The red LED will light when fault occurs.

3) When in fault mode, it will display as below. “FAULT” character and the
reason of fault only.
Note: the fault code will be showed in fault mode.
4) Load level definition:
5) Battery capacity definition:
6).When over load, the mark will flicker every 1 second.
7).When battery low, the mark will flicker every 1 second.

Rear Panel & Output Description
Shown below are the components on the rear panel of ART Power MINI
series.
1. DC Input Connector (Battery Terminal)
2. AC Input Connector
3. Output Receptacle(s)
4. Input Voltage Range Selector:(Input voltage range is defined in
AC connection
Before having AC connection, match the power requirements of connected
devices with the power output of ART Power MINI to avoid overload. Consult
a qualified electrician, and follow local code for the proper wire sizes,
connectors and conduit requirements.
A. Select ‘Narrow’ setting for general electrical appliance such as tube
light,energy saving lamp,TV,Juicer & mixer etc, but it is not suitable to
meet high-power motor or inductive load ,such as the fridge of 1KW ,the
motor of 800W, air cooler ,PC（having risk of rebooting）and so on. In
this mode, the Inverex series operating voltage, in ‘mains’ mode, is within
170~280Vac with the same output voltage. The line sensitivity is higher.
7

B. Select “Wide” setting to save energy. In this mode the operating range
of voltage for the Inverex is 90-280Vac, hence the output voltage will be
the same as the MAINS input voltage. The Inverex unit in this mode has
a lower sensitivity. You can connect and use only for some special load,
such as lamp, fan.
AC Input Connections
Battery Connection
Step 1-Pinch the bottom of DC input cover and Open it.
Step 2-Following battery polarity guide located near battery terminal. Tighten
the M5 nut. Do not place anything between the flat part of battery terminal
and the battery cable rig terminal, or overheating may occur.
Caution! DO NOT place anything between battery cable ring terminals and
battery terminals. The terminal stud is not designed to carry current. Apply
Anti-oxidant paste to terminals after terminals have been torqued.
Battery Cable Connection

Step 3- Connect battery cables to your batteries
The battery must be wired to match the units DC input voltage specifications
(12V for ART Power MINI 500/1000, 24V for ART Power MINI 1500/2000 )
In addition, the batteries can be wired to provide additional run time. The various
wiring configurations are as follows:
zSeries Connection: Wiring batteries in “series” increases the total output
voltage. This voltage MUST match the DC voltage requirements of the ART
Power MINI unit, or it may damage both the ART Power MINI unit and/or the
batteries.
zParallel Connection: Wiring batteries in “parallel” increases the total run
time, the batteries can operate the AC loads. The more batteries connected
in parallel the longer run time the loads can be powered from the ART
Power MINI unit.
