PURE SINE WAVE INVERTER WITH CHARGER

1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing our CSC series Pure sine wave Inverter with Charger (herein after called
CSC). The perfect combination of a pure sine wave inverter and a 3 stage battery charger.
When the mains power fails, it converts the battery's DC to AC to support household electrical
appliance's. When the mains power is on, it auto switches to use the mains AC power and the 3
stage battery charger will monitor the state of the batteries and auto adjust as required (constant
current, constant voltage, floating charge).
With a transfer time of less than 15 ms AC appliance operation is uninterrupted.
2. FEATURES
·Fully auto. protection functions: Earth Leakage Protection, Reverse Polarity, Overload, Over

NOTE:
· You can use one or more batteries. Preferably use 100 Ah or larger batteries for long back-up
time.
· If grid power is available, AC bypasses the inverter & power-for the electrical appliances is
provided by the mains (inverter switched on) for battery charging.
· If grid power fails, the CSC conver t the batter y DC power to AC power-for the electrical
appliances. (the inverter must be switched on).
7.1. There are cables with terminal rings included, use the cables to connect the unit directly to
the batteries.
The input terminals on the rear side of the unit are Red-positive and Black-Negative 6- .
Connect the red cable to the red terminal and the positive pole of the battery.
Connect the black cable to the black terminal and the negative pole of the battery.
Where units are supplied with four cables two red, two black all four must be connected .
Make sure all connections are solid and secured. Poor connections may cause the cables and
terminals to overheat and shorten the battery backup time. (ensure that the inverter and
charger mode are OFF before connecting to the battery).
WARNING!
· Reverse polarity will burn the fuse or may cause damage to the CSC avoid at all cost as
damage caused by wrong connection is not cover by our warranty.
·The CSC must be connect only to batteries with a normal output voltage of 12 volts. The
power source can be a 12V battery or several 12V batteries connected in parallel
to increase the backup time. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery, and will sustain
permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
·Keep ventilation when using batteries. Batteries may generate flammable gas during
charging or discharging.
4. OPERATION ENVIRONMENT
For best operating performance, the CSC should be placed on flat surface, such as ground or
other solid surface, install the CSC in a location that is:
·DRY. Do not allow water and/ or other liquids to come into contact with the CSC. In all
marine applications, do not install the CSC below or near the waterline and keep the CSC
away from moisture or water.
·COOL. Ambient air temperature should be between 30° F (-1°C ) non-
condensing, and 105 ° F (40 °C). Do not place the CSC on or near a heating
vent or any pieces of equipment which is generating heat above room temperature. Keep
the CSC away from direct sunlight, if at all possible.
·VENTILATED. Keep the area surrounding the CSC clear to ensure free air circulation around
the unit, do not place items on or over the CSC during operation. A fan is helpful if the CSC is
operating at maximum power outputs for extended periods of time. The units will shut down
if the internal temperature exceeds operating temperatures and restart after it cools.
·SAFE. Do not use the CSC near flammable materials or in any location s that may
accumulate flammable fumes of gasses.

9. OPERATING TIPS
9.1. Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances and audio/video equipment have labels that indicate the
power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item you
wish to operate is rated within CSC wattage or less. (if the power consumption is rated in amps
AC, simply multiply by the AC volts to determine the wattage ). The CSC (inverter mode) will
shut down if it is overloaded. The appliances causing the overload must be removed before the
CSC will restart. Resistive loads are the easiest for the CSC to run. However larger resistive
loads such as electric stoves or heaters, usually require more wattage than the inverter can
deliver. Inductive loads, such as TV's and stereos, require more current to operate than
do resistive loads of the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some televisions,
may require 2 to 6 times their wattage rating to start up. The most demanding in the category are
those that start under load, such as compressors and pumps. Testing is the only definitive way
to determine whether a specific load will run. To restart the unit after a shutdown due to
overloading, remove the overload and if necessary turn the power switch OFF then ON.
9.2. Power Tools and Microwave Ovens Won't Start
Read the information panel on each power tool carefully to accurately determine the tool's
input wattage. The wattage output may be sufficient to operate most power tools and microwave
ovens but remember that the power needed to start the power tool may be as much as 2 to 6
times its continuous wattage requirements.
9.3. The AC output waveform of the CSC (inverter mode) is know as the“pure sine
wave”.

11. CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the power inverter from the 12V/24V power source and the external
appliance from the socket before starting any cleaning or maintenance. Keep all air inlets and
vents free of dirt and dust. Clean the power inverter with a moistened cloth. Do not use
abrasive utensils for cleaning. Store the power inverter in a dry place, well ventilated and in a
temperature range between 0°C and 40°C. Do not store in direct sunlight, near heater,
radiators or under moist and wet environment conditions.
12. DISPOSAL
9.4. Battery's Back up time depends on the appliances you will be using.
The batteries must provide between 10.5 and 15.5 volts DC (if 12V CSC) and must be able to
supply the necessary current to operate the load. The power source should be a good condition
deep-cycle Lead-acid battery. To obtain a rough estimate of the current (in amperes ) the
power source must deliver, simply divide the power consumption of the load (in watts AC ) by
10. Example: if a load is rated at 100 watts AC, the power source must be able to deliver:
100/10=10A On larger applications the power source may be several batteries connected in
parallel. It is important to make sure the cables are suitable sized. This manual does not
describe all of the possible types of battery configurations, battery charging configurations and
battery isolation configurations.
9.5. Battery Charger
We recommend you use deep cycle batteries. If you hear the low voltage protection alarm,
please stop using the appliance, when the battery is fully charged, you can use it again.
Please plug into the mains power to charge the battery.
The battery operation time depends on the battery capacity(Ah) and the loading power (Watt)
The method to calculate the operation time is:
Battery capacity (Ah) x input voltage(V)/ loading power(W)
Example:
Battery capacity= 150Ah
Input voltage= 12V
Loading power= 600W
(150Ah x 12V)/600W= 3H
