4 Safety
4.1 General safety instruction
Read and observe the user manual and safety instructions in this chapter before
taking any further action (transportation, storage, connection, start-up etc.).
Since the SI uses mains voltage and has suitable energy accumulators (high-
capacity batteries) installed either inside or outside the device, the instructions in
this chapter are very important for all users and personnel. For this reason,
appropriate safety instructions on the topic of batteries and battery packs are
also dealt with here. When using external battery packs, you must also follow the
safety instructions in the accompanying instruction manual.
Work on the SI equipment may only be performed by authorised technical
personnel.
4.2 Transport ans storage
SI has to be transported with its original packaging. It also has to be used in
case of removals or returns.
The packing has not a fall protection, therefore all falled down equipments
have to be checked by EFFEKTA bevore installation.
4.3 Placement
Do not install the SI where is burning damp, e.g. fuel stock or motor
rooms, etc.
The SI is intended for use in ventilated rooms with an environmental
temperature of 0° - 40°C.
There is a risk of condensation where the SI is exposed to extreme and rapid
temperature changes. Before taking any further steps, the equipment should
be allowed to acclimatise for at least 2 hours.
Never set up or operate the equipment in a damp environment.
Keep fluids away from the equipment.
The SI must not be set up near heat sources.
Ensure that the SI is placed horizontally.
SINE WAVE INVERTER WRSL-xx-3000 Manual
WRSL series
page 9 of 32
Keep a minimum distance of 10cm from the vents of the front side and back
side of the equipment to other objects, to avoid an air blockage and an
overheat. Ensure that the vents of the equipment are not blocked, e.g by
absorbed paper, tissue, etc.
4.4 Connection
Always compare bevore connecting, the indicated voltage of the inverter
and the battery.
Those figures have to accord with each other.
E.g. do not connect the 12 V type with a 24 V battery, because then the
equipment will be destroyed imediatelly.
Faulty poled connectionscause blowing of the fuse in the inverter and candestroy
it forever.
Damages which are caused by faulty poled connections are not covered by our
warranty..
When connecting the battery cables you can will note a spark, because there is
flowing a high current for an instant to load up the condensators in the inverter.
To avoid explosion or fire do not connect the equipments in case of existing
burning dump.
Ensure that all DC connectings are fixed, because not fixed connectings
overheat and produce a potential danger.
Using the inverter without a correct PE can lead to safety danger.
The regulations for earthing depend on country and application. All installations
have to comply with the national regulations.
To connect the SI with the batteries, only use suitable electrical cables (e.g.
cable cross-section, isolation, VDE-tested and CE-labelled cables).
To connect the consumer loads to the SI, only use VDE-tested and CE-
labelled cables with corresponding cable cross-section.
The fuse protection for the consumer loads must always be installed directly in
front of it, and never centrally in front of the SI.
Do not operate any household appliances and power tools, e.g. fan heaters,
vacuum cleaners, drills, hairdryers, toasters etc., via the SI.
Do not connect consumer loads to the SI, which could overload it (e.g. laser
printer).
SINE WAVE INVERTER WRSL-xx-3000 Manual
WRSL series
page 10 of 32
The sum of the earth fault currents of all consumer loads connected to the SI
must not exceed 3.5mA.
Keep the connecting cables as short as possible and always lay these
correctly. Avoid the dangers of laying connecting cables in locations where
they may be tripped over, crushed or torn open etc.
4.5 Operation
Already when feeding the battery voltage, the SI is in backup-mode.
The inverter is switched-on or –off by pushing the power switch.
By pushing the function switch, several status figures on the display can be
chosen.
4.6 Handling batteries
Warning –danger of electric shocks and burns.
Batteries can cause electric shocks and are capable of producing high short-
circuit currents which can also inflict burns.
Unauthorised persons must be kept away from batteries.
Do not place batteries against heat sources and do not throw them into a fire as
they might explode!
Do not open or destroy batteries. The electrolyte thereby released is extremely
dangerous to persons and to the environment (danger of chemical burns to skin
and eyes, toxic).
Defective batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner
Never throw batteries into the regular refuse.
The local waste disposal regulations must be observed.

4.7 Maintenance, servicing and faults
Warning –danger of electric shocks.
Even after pushing the Power switch or after disconnecting the battery supply,
parts of the inverter can have dangerous voltage potential.
Work on batteries may only be performed and monitored by personnel with
appropriate technical knowledge about the required precautions.
Unauthorised persons must be kept away from batteries.
When working on the SI, the following precautions must be taken:
Remove wristwatches, rings and other metallic objects
Only use electrically-insulated tools
Protective equipment has to be worn (protective goggles, gloves, face mask, etc.);
The inverter must not be deconstructed.

7 Installation and connecting of the inverter
All requirements in the technical data regarding environmental and operating
conditions must be observed to ensure trouble-free functioning of the UPS.
The following must be observed when setting up / installing the SI:
Avoid extremes of temperature and atmospheric humidity
Observe the specified installation location and only mount the equipment using
the screw-in positions (fig. 4).
Make sure that ventilation of the equipment is possible at all times. Ensure an
appropriate flow channel.
Make sure the equipment is arranged correctly. When installed in parent
systems (e.g. machine, control cabinet), it must be ensured that the inverter
operates within the specified temperature range. A sufficient level of forced
ventilation must exist to remove excess heat that builds up in the space where
the SI is installed.

7.1 Connecting the inverter
- Earth connection:
Connect the protective earth conductor PE of the inverter with
the grounding point of the place of installation, by using an
isolated line with a minimum cable cross-section of 10qmm2.
Ensure that the connections are fixed and safe, the lines have
to be laid in one piece and must not be extended!
Depending on place of installation as a precaution the inverter
has to be grounded. In a car this can be the bodywork, in a
boat the grounding system of the boat or in case of a building
the earth electrode of the building. In case of a stationary
installation, e.g. camping ground, the grounding has to be
made by an at least 1.2m earth electrode, which must be in the
ground.
- AC outlet sockets:
The consumer can either be plugged into the earthed socket or
connected directly to the terminal strip (behind the terminal
cover plate Fig.4).
Avoid overload of the inverter.
If you connect more consumer with the inverter, connect them
sequentially after having switched-on the inverter.
Before connecting, compare always the indicated voltage
figures of the consumers with the output voltage of the
inverter. Those figures have to comply.
E.g. do not connect the 115V consumer with a 230V inverter,
because then the equipment will be destroyed immediately.
Danger !
There are dangerously high voltages at the output plug and the
terminal strip.
