Sine Wave Inverter Technical description
5 Tec nical description
The inverters can be operated wherever there is a 12 V DC supply (60S-
12A/E, 100S-12A/E, 1 0S-12A/E, 200S-12A/E) or a 24 V DC supply (60S-
24A/E, 100S-24A/E, 1 0S-24A/E, 200S-24A/E). With its low weight and the
compact design, the inverter can be easily installed into Camping mobiles,
commercial vehicles or motor and sailing yachts.
The output voltage corresponds to the socket standard (pure sinus-voltage)
Please observe the values for constant output power and peak output power
(for a max. of 10 min.) as indicated in section „Technical data“ on page 21.
Never connect an appliance that has a higher power requirement.
Note
Note the electrical driving appliances (such as power drills or
refrigerators) often need more power than is stated on the type
plate.
6 Installing t e inverter
6.1 Tools required
For installation and assembly you require the following tools:
Pencil
Drill bit set
Drill
Screwdriver

Installing the inverter Sine Wave Inverter
For making and testing the electrical connection the following tools are
required:
Crimping tool
3 different flexible cable connections. The required cable diameter can
be taken from the table in the section „Connecting the inverter“ on page
16.
Various terminals, multicore cable ends
For fixing the inverter you need the following mounting devices:
Screws (M4) with spacers and self-locking nuts or sheet metal screws
resp. wood screws.
Mounting size (fig. 8, page 4/fig. 9, page /fig 17, page9)
6.2 Installation instructions
When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions:
Installing the inverter can be set horizontal or vertical.
The Inverter has to be installed in a dry and clean place not exposed
to humidity.
Make sure that the place is well ventilated. If installed inside a housing,
ensure proper ventilation. At least, keep a free space of 10 cm around
the inverter. (fig. 7, page 4 / fig. 16, page 8).
The air intake and the air outlet of the inverter should not be blocked.
The installation surface must be level and of sufficient strength.
Caution!
Before making any drill holes, ensure that no electrical cables or
other parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and
filing.

6.3 Installing t e inverter
Adjust the inverter to the chosen installation place and mark the fixing
points.
Fix the inverter by using the self-chosen fixing method.
7 Connecting t e inverter
7.1 General instructions
In case the inverter is installed into vehicles or boats it has to be con-
nected to the chassis (ground).
On building up an electricity supply network the safety regulations
according to the VDE 0100 standard are to be kept.
Observe the required cable cross section (see table).
7.2 Connecting t e inverter
Lay the flexible connecting cable (plus and minus) from the battery to
the connecting poles of the inverter (fig. 6, page 3 / fig. 1 , page 8).
Warning!
Make sure that the the connection is not polarity reversed. Reverse
polarity connection will blow the internal fuses. It requres the expert
to change the fuses.
Bind the cable and the terminal firm and well together.
(fig. -1, page 3/fig13-1, page 7)
Fisrt connect the negative cable to the white negative terminal.

Warning!
In order for the integrated residual current-operated protective
device of the 60S-12A/E, 60S-24A/E, 100S-12A/E, 100S-24A/E,
1 0S-12A/E, 1 0S-24A/E, 200S-12A/E and 200S-24A/E inverters
to work properly, the earth connection of the inverter (fig. 4, page
2 / fig. 14, page 7) must be electrically connected to the chassis of
the vehicle or boat.
Lay the flexible earth cable from the earthing point of the vehicle to the
earthing point of the inverter.
Connect the earth cable to the chassis terminal (fig. 4, page 2 / fig. 14,
page 7).
Warning!
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires can damage the
inverter.
8 Using t e inverter
60S-12A/E, 60S-24A/E, 100S-12A/E, 100S-24A/E:
Always connect only one consumer unit to the 11 V or 230 V socket (fig.
1. , page 1)on the front of the device.
150S-12A/E, 150S-24A/E, 200S-12A/E, 200S-24A/E:
Always connect max two consumer unit to each of the 11 V or 230 V
sockets (fig. 10.6, page ) on the front of the device.
Switc ing on
Switching on the inverter via the ON/OFF-switch (fig. 1.1, page 1 / fig. 10.2,
page ). When switching on, the ”Power” LED (fig. 1.2, page 1 / fig. 10.3,
page ) illuminates.
Malfunctions
When the battery voltage falls below 10.7 V (60S-12A/E, 100S-12A/E, 1 0S-
12A/E, 200S-12A/E) resp. 21.4 V (60S-24A/E, 100S-24A/E,

1 0S-24A/E, 200S-24A/E), the OVER-LOAD“ LED (fig. 1.3, page 1 / fig.
10.4, page ) illuminates and an audible signal is given. The inverter shuts
down automatically in case of a battery voltage down to 10 V resp. 20 V.
If the device overheats, the inverter shuts down – the “OVER TEMP” LED
(fig. 1.4, page 1 / fig. 10. , page ) lights up.
If this happens, switch off the inverter via the switch.
Ensure that the inverter is sufficiently ventilated
Wait for approx. - 10 minutes and switch on the inverter manually.
When operating the inverter at high load for lengthy periods, you have to pay
attention to voltage of battery. If voltage is not enough, please charge the
battery immediately or replace battery.
There is a modular jack for remote control (fig. 1.6, page 1 / fig. 10.1, page
) for 1 00W and 2000W on the front panel and for 600W (option) and
1000W on the bottom plate.
GFCI for 60S-12A/E, 60S-24A/E, 100S-12A/E, 100S-24A/E is an option
GFCI for 150S-12A/E, 150S-24A/E, 200S-12A/E, 200S-24A/E is a must
An un-intentional electric path between a source of current and a grounded
surface is referred to as a “ground fault”. Ground faults occur when current
is leaking somewhere. In effect, electricity is escaping to the ground. How it
leaks is very important. If your body provides a path to the ground for this
leakage you could be injured, burned, severely shocked or electrocuted. A
GFCI protects people from electric shock by detecting leakage and cutting
off the AC source.
In case there is a leakage of > mA for 11 VAC ver. or >30mA for 230VAC
ver. due to ground fault, the output will be shut down. The green LED will be
switched off and the red overload LED will be lighted. The inverter gets
latched in this condition. To reset, the power on/off switch is required to be
switched off and on again. Before switching on the inverter again, ensure
that the cause of the ground fault is removed.

Rectifying faults Sine Wave lnverter
9 Rectifying faults
- P19 -
Fault Cause Remedy
No output voltage, LED not
Illuminated
Bad connection between
battery and inverter.
Internal fuses defect.
Check the cables and contact
In this case send the unit
back to supplier.
No output voltage, OVER-
TEMP LED illuminates
The inverter has been over-
heated.
Switch off the inverter and the
power consuming units.
Wait for approx. - 10 min-
Utes and switch on the
inverter only.
Reduce the loading and
ensure a better ventilation for the
inverter.
Then switch back on the
consuming unit.
Overload LED illuminates Current consumption of the
consuming unit is too high.
Possibly, there is a short cir-
cuit in the consuming unit.
Switch off the inverter and
disconnect the consuming
units.
Switch back on the inverter
only. If the OVERLOAD LED
is off, there is a short circuit at
the consuming unit or the
total load was higher than the
performance specified within
the technical data table.
Check the connecting cable
of the consuming unit for
mechanical damages.
Acoustic signal in case of
loading
Battery voltage too low. In
case of loading battery voltage
falls below 10.7 V resp.
21.4 V.
The battery must be recharged.
