About SuperCombi:
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 SuperCombi is ideally designed for your car, boat, recreational vehicle or basically anywhere
mains power is required.
The SuperCombi 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.
SuperCombi 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 SuperCombi 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 SuperCombi has many unique features,
This includes stacking for increased power output, 3 phase power option,
(Requires optional parallel or 3-Phase modules and additional SuperCombi 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 SuperCombi also offers automatic switching between the mainsAC 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, SuperCombi does it all for you.
SuperCombi 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.

Rich Electric Co. “SuperCombi” User Manual V7.19 Copyright 2009 Page11
The SuperCombi also consists of two low voltage DC controllers that are designed to manage DC
load such as lighting and fridges for use in caravans, recreational vehicles and boats. These load
controllers are all programmable and can also be configured to stack up to 5 units per controller
which can be configured individually or combined to support larger loads. If the system is installed
into a boat, caravan or recreational vehicle, the SuperCombi has a generator input allowing the
vehicles engine to automatically charge your batteries.
If you have a portable DC generator this input can also be used to control the power source for
optimal battery charging. The DC generator input can be expanded to a total of 5 unit inputs for
increased power or multiple charging inputs. The SuperCombi power management control system
uses the latest advanced technology to maintain a constant power for whatever your needs.
The DC generator input is also designed to allow any DC generation device such as wind turbines or
hydro generation systems to be controlled by the SuperCombi . With up to 5 input modules that can
be controlled individually or combined. SuperCombi also features an auto start output for a backup
generator in the case of a low battery or heavy loads.
If you have mains grid power connected to your home or business and would like to conserve energy,
The SuperCombi has a Green Power Mode that is specifically designed for conserving energy.
If the system is permanently connected to the mains grid power it will use the batteries power to run
appliances and only switch to the mains grid power as a last resort. The unit will automatically
control and manage the power for you. The SuperCombi will power your lights and appliances
completely from the batteries and solar unless your usage is too much, then the system will
automatically charge from the mains power.
If your load is much greater than SuperCombi’s output, the system will share power from the mains
grid supply and the inverter until the load has decreased. The Green Power feature is a sure way to
save money and do your bit for the environment.
In the case of a power failure the system will automatically take control of any power or lights that
are connected to the system so you can enjoy all the features of modern living even when the power
goes out.
The SuperCombi can also operate as a true Hybrid power system were Excess power produced from
your solar panels or wind generator can also be sent back into the grid for a credit, (requires GTI
SolarWorx inverter and authorizations from your electricity provider). The system will operate as a
standalone power system allowing you to power your home during a grid failure and were power can
be toped up from the grid supply if you don’t have enough being produced from your panels.
A Truly Interactive Hybrid Power System.

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.
SuperCombi is suitable for wall mounting. The back and the bottom of the enclosure
Has holes for wall mounting purposes.
The front of SuperCombi 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 SuperCombi 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.
