12 Method of operation
12.1 Device start
When a valid input voltage is applied and one of the Start
terminals are connected to SGnd, the device starts. During
the subsequent LED test, all LEDs on the front of the device
are switched on for a short time. Afterward, any inverters
connected in parallel will be synchronized and the output
switched on.
The inverter always works in one of two voltage ranges with
one of two nominal frequencies:
–100V or 200V range
–50Hz or 60Hz
In order to start in the 100V range, signal terminal
3.7Start120V must be connected with the signal terminal
3.9SGnd (see section: Device operation).
In order to start in the 200V range, signal terminal
3.6Start230V must be connected with the signal terminal
3.9SGnd (see section: Device operation).
To exit operation, you must disconnectsignal terminal
Start120V or signal terminal Start230V from signal
terminal SGnd.
12.2 Output voltage setting options
You can use the POWER MANAGEMENT SUITE software
to set one of the following nominal voltages or nominal
frequencies per voltage range:
–100V range:
– 100V, 110V, 120V(=default), or 130V
50Hz or 60Hz(=default)
–200V range:
– 200V, 210V, 220V, 230V(=default), or 240V
50Hz(=default) or 60Hz
12.3 Input voltage setting options
You can set the following DC input voltage parameters via
the POWER MANAGEMENT SUITE software:
– Lower DC input voltage limit: 20VDC...26.5VDC,
default:20VDC
– Upper DC input voltage limit: 28VDC...30V DC,
default:30VDC
– Activation threshold: 20.5VDC...27VDC, default:
23VDC
Note that the activation threshold must be at least 0.5V
higher than the lower DC input voltage limit. This creates a
hysteresis when switching on with increasing DC input
voltage.
For the upper DC input voltage limit, a hysteresis of 0.5V is
taken into consideration automatically with decreasing DC
input voltage.
Figure 18 Input voltage range: Default
12.3.1 Application example: Operation on an AC/DC
power supply
The inverter DC input voltage is generated via an AC/DC
power supply.
– Lower DC input voltage limit: 20VDC
– Upper DC input voltage limit: 30VDC
– Activation threshold: 20.5VDC
Figure 19 Application example: Operation on an AC/DC
power supply
This example illustrates the broadest possible working
range of the inverter.
If the Start120V or Start230V signal terminal is
already connected to SGnd, the device starts
when a valid input voltage is applied.
Note that when starting in a parallel system the
respective start signal terminal of the individual
inverters are connected with SGnd simultaneously
(time offset <5seconds).
