PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
The Marinco inverters convert a DC voltage to a pure AC
sine wave voltage.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Before using the Inverter, read and save the
safety instructions
Use the Inverter following the instructions and
specifications stated in this manual.
Connections and safety features must be executed
according to the locally applicable regulations
Operation of the Inverter without proper grounding
may lead to hazardous situations!
Use DC-cables with an appropriate size. Integrate a
fuse in the positive wiring and place it nearby the
battery. Refer to the specifications.
If the positive and negative wires on the DC-input
(battery) are exchanged, the Inverter will be damaged.
Damage of this kind is not covered by guarantee.
Check whether all connections are connected
correctly before placing the fuse.
Do not connect the AC-output of the inverter to an
incoming AC source.
Never connect the Inverter in parallel with any other
inverter.
Never open the housing as high voltages may be
present inside!
UNPACKING
The delivery consists of the following parts:
The inverter
This user’s manual
Four ring terminals
After unpacking, check the Inverter for possible damage.
Do not use the Inverter if it is damaged. If in doubt,
contact your supplier.
NEUTRAL GROUNDING
For safe installation,
The chassis ground terminal (see Figure 2, ref. 7)
must be connected to the central grounding point of
the vehicle/ ship
The neutral conductor (N) of the AC output of the
Inverter must be connected to the safety ground
(PE/GND) and a ground fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI)
must be integrated in the wiring of the AC output. See
below for model specific information.
Refer to locally applicable regulations on these issues!
120V models
With the 120V models the neutral conductor of the AC
output circuit of the Inverter is internally connected to the
safety ground during inverter operation automatically and
a ground fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) is already
integrated in the AC output circuit of the Inverter.
230V models
With the 230V models there is no connection made inside
the inverter between either the line or neutral conductor
to the safety ground.
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
See Figure 1, ref. 6. Under normal circumstances there is
no need to change the default settings of the DIP
switches: the inverter is immediately ready for use.
To save energy from the battery in no load operation, DIP
switches S1, S2 and S3 can be used to adjust the Power
Saving Mode. The Power Saving Mode scans the output
and when it detects a load which is higher than the
selected threshold value, the inverter is switched on
automatically.

INSTALLATION
Choosing a location to install
Install the Inverter in a well-ventilated room protected
against rain, snow, spray, vapour, bilge, moisture and
dust.
Ambient temperature: –25 ... 40°C / –13…104°F;
Never use the Inverter at a location where there is
danger of gas or dust explosions
Mount the Inverter in such a way that obstruction of
the airflow through the ventilation openings is
prevented. No objects must be located within a
distance of 10 cm / 4 inch around the Inverter.
Do not install the Inverter in the same compartment as
the batteries. Do not mount the Inverter straight above
the batteries because of possible corrosive sulphur
fumes.
Before you start
Be sure that the output of the supplying source
(battery) is switched off during installation. Also be
sure that no consumers are connected to the battery
during installation, to prevent hazardous situations.
Before installing the Inverter make sure the main
switch (Figure 1, ref. 1) is set to the OFF position.
Check that the battery voltage is the same as the
input voltage of the Inverter (e.g. 24V battery for a
24V input voltage). Also check that the output voltage
satisfies loading requirements
A DC fuse holder must be integrated in the positive
wiring. The DC fuse should be placed last of all.
Use four Ø4.5mm (No. 8) screws to mount the
Inverter to a solid surface. See Figure 3.
Wiring
Connect DC wiring as shown in Figure 2: the black
terminal (9) NEG (–) to the negative (–) pole of the
power source / battery, the red terminal (8) POS (+) to
the positive (+) pole of the power source/ battery.
Integrate a DC fuse holder in the positive wiring, but
do not place the fuse yet. Assemble the DC wiring
exactly as indicated. Do not place anything between
the ring terminal and the terminal surface. Make sure
that all DC connections are tight. Recommended
torque: 11.7-13 Nm / 104-115 InLbs
Chassis ground: Use a cable AWG8 / 6 mm² to
connect the CHASSIS GROUND terminal (7) to the
central ground.
Remote operation switch (option). If you want to
operate the Inverter on a remote location, you can
install a switch as indicated in Figure 2. When the
contact is closed, the Inverter is switched on.

COMMISSIONING AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the polarity of the DC-connections. Do not
place the DC fuse if the polarity is not correct.
2. Place a DC-fuse (see SPECIFICATIONS) in the fuse
holder. When placing this fuse, a spark may occur,
caused by internal capacitors of the Inverter. This is
normal.
3. AC voltage: the load can be plugged into the AC-
output (Figure 1, ref. 2) directly.
OPERATION
Switching on:
Move the main switch (Figure 1, ref. 1) to “ON”. The
Inverter will start a self-test indicated by two beeps from
the buzzer and flashing LED indicators. This may last for
approximate two seconds. Finally the buzzer will produce
another beep and the Inverter will switch on, indicated by
two green LED indicators.. Now the Inverter is ready to
supply load connected to the AC-output.
Switching off:
Move the main switch (Figure 1, ref. 1) to the “OFF”
position. Note that switching off the Inverter does not
break the connection to the batteries!
Remote operation:
The Inverter can be operated on a remote location by
means of an optional remote switch. Move the main
switch (Figure 1, ref. 1) to the “REMOTE” position. When
the remote contact is closed, the Inverter is switched on.
GFCI (120V models only):
In case of a ground fault, the Ground-Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) trips and cuts off the AC output. To
switch on the AC output again, push the reset button
(Figure 1, ref. R)
LED indicators
See Figure 1. The operation of the inverter is made
visible by means of LED indicators (3), (4) and (5).
“INPUT LEVEL” (ref. 3) displays the input voltage of the
inverter:
Input voltage (V)

GREEN 12.1~14.2 24.1~28.6
ORANGE blinking 14.2~15.0 28.6~30.0
RED blinking fast > 15.0 > 30.0
“LOAD LEVEL” (ref. 4) shows the output load level:

RED 525-672 750-960 1125-1450
RED blinking >672 >960 >1450
“STATUS” (ref. 5) shows the operation mode of the
inverter. As long this LED isn’t illuminated red, no failure
is detected: the inverter is operating normally.
If an error occurs, it is detected by the apparatus itself:
the “STATUS” LED turns red.

Maintenance
No specific maintenance is required. If necessary, use a
soft clean cloth to clean the Inverter. Never use any
liquids, acids and/or scourers.
Check the wiring on a regular base. Defects such as
loose connections, burnt wiring etc. must be corrected
immediately.
DECOMMISSIONING
Proceed as follows for decommissioning of the inverter:
1. Move the main switch (Figure 1, ref. 1) to the OFF
position.
2. Remove the DC fuse. Be sure that others can not
reverse this action taken.
3. Now the inverter can be demounted in a safe way.
