About CombiPlus:
The “Combi” Functional Interactive Bi-Directional Inverter has a dual function.
This unit can operate as a battery charger or as a power inverter.
The system utilizes sophisticated circuitry to manage and control your power requirements.
The CombiPlus is ideally designed for your car, boat, recreational vehicle or basically anywhere
mains power is required.
The CombiPlus features a powerful true pure sine wave inverter that converts DC battery voltage to
AC high voltage producing a clean, smooth power output,
Ideal for the most sensitive electronic equipment.
This superior, extremely efficient power conversion system will run even the most demanding mains
operated appliances when the grid power is unavailable.
CombiPlus also has a powerful 4 stage battery charger that is capable of delivering up to a
Huge 140 Amps. (3000watt , 12v Model)
There is also a 4 Amp charging output great for keeping the starter battery in an RV or
Generator constantly charged.
Solar Panels can also be connected to the CombiPlus through optional SunStar® SS-45/60 or MPPT
SunStar® controller allowing the batteries to be recharged giving you even more flexibility when
you are away from mains powered sites.
The CombiPlus has many unique features like its big brother the “SuperCombi”.
This includes stacking for increased power output, 3 phase power option,
(Requires optional parallel or 3-Phase modules and additional CombiPlus units).
Power Support, where the input supply from an AC generator and the inverter can be combined
together to support heavy start-up loads such as air-conditioners.
Interactive Power Sharing, where the AC input supply can be programmed to a
Maximum limit; this will protect against unwanted power tripping from the mains supply.
For example, If you turn on an electric jug and air-conditioner at the same time, the shore power
circuit breaker will likely trip leaving you without power, with the Combi’s Smart Power
Management System will then use its Power Support feature to boost the mains input by using the
Inverters output and shore power input together until the load decreases.
The CombiPlus also offers automatic switching between the mains AC and the inverter known as an
Auto Transfer Switch or ATS. This will provide a seamless power switch over between the mains
input and the inverter power so no manual switching is required, CombiPlus does it all for you.
CombiPlus can also automatically start your compatible backup generator in the case of a low battery
or excessive high load usage and then turn the generator back off when not required.

ALL AC WIRING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN AND MUST CONFORM TO AS3000
WIRING REGULATIONS OR RELEVANT STANDARDS
For other regions, the installation and wiring should comply with relevant
National Standards and Practices.

1.2 Location
This product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to batteries.
There should be a clear space of at least 20 cm around the appliance for cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following
zReduced service life
zReduced charge current
zReduced peak capacity or shutdown of the inverter
Never position the inverter directly above the batteries.
CombiPlus is suitable for wall mounting. The back and the bottom of the enclosure
Has holes for wall mounting purposes.
The front of CombiPlus must remain accessible after installation. Ensure the AC and DC input cables
are fitted with fuses and circuit breakers. Try and keep the distance between the product and battery
to a minimum in order to minimize cable voltage losses.
The system should always be earthed for lightning and to reduce the risk of accidental short circuits,
Earthing the DC Power Wiring is not normally required. If the system is installed in a lightning
prone area then protection for the earthing of the DC wiring may be needed.
DC Earth cables must be capable of caring the battery fault current and trip the battery fuse before
the cabling fails.
A Battery Fuse or Circuit Breaker is required at all times; Never connect the CombiPlus directly to
the battery. The fuse or Circuit breaker should be connected as close to the battery as possible.
If the batteries are not earthed then protection should be provide on both the Positive and Negative
sides of the battery.
NOTE: The DC cabling should always be kept separated from any of the AC cabling.

Rich Electric Co. “CombiPlus” User Manual V7.19 Copyright 2009 Page19
1.3 Requirements
zScrewdrivers for removing the lower-front panel and connecting AC loads.
z2x battery cables (maximum length 6 meters) ensure battery cables are correctly sized.
zInsulated box spanner (13 mm) for securing the DC terminal nuts.
zTwin and Earth power cable for AC cabling.
1.4 Connection of Battery Cables
Ensure you have enough battery capacity to be able to operate your CombiPlus to its full
capacity.

NOTE: Consult your battery manufacturer for correct battery sizing for your application,
Battery cable sizes are based on recommended cable length of 2 meters. Longer cable lengths will
require large cable sizes.
Always use an insulated box spanner in order to avoid shorting the battery.
Never short the battery cables!
zRemove the four screws at the lower-front panel of the enclosure and remove the panel.
zConnect the battery cable: the + (red) on the right and the – (black) on the left.
zDon’t reverse the (+) and (-) of the battery. This may cause internal damage.
zSecure battery nuts tightly in order to reduce the contact resistance as much as possible.
For more information on battery bank enclosures and installations please refer to AUS/NZ standards
AS 2676, AS4509, AS3010 & AS4086.
For other regions, the installation and wiring should comply with relevant
National Standards and Practices.

Rich Electric Co. “CombiPlus” User Manual V7.19 Copyright 2009 Page20
1.5 Connection of AC Cabling
Ensure the CombiPlus is grounded for safety.
The main earth screw has been fitted at the bottom left side of the enclosure.
The AC terminal connection is located in lower-front panel of the enclosure:
The AC Supply (AC IN) cable must be connected to AC IN terminals,
Use a Twin and Earth power cable; refer to table below for correct AC cable sizes.
The AC output terminal connection is labeled “AC OUT”. The terminal points are indicated
clearly. From left to right: “G” (earth), “N” (neutral), and “L” (phase).
The AC input terminal connection is labeled “AC IN”, The terminal points are indicated clearly:
From left to right “L” (phase), “N” (neutral), and “G” (earth).
External fuses or circuit breakers must be installed.
The AC input circuit breaker built in to the CombiPlus is designed to protect the internal wiring
inside the unit only. Faults on sub circuits will not normally trip this breaker.
All External AC wiring must be protected with suitably rated external circuit breakers
and RCD Earth Leakage protection.
For AC input protection we recommend the use of a Circuit Breaker (MCB).
The electricity which is switched through to the Inverters output (AC OUT) is NOT fused.
External fuses or circuit breakers must be installed. For correct sizing see table below.
AC output Circuit breakers and Earth Leakage protection is recommend for
Protection of the AC output from the Inverter.
