INTRODUCTION
Many thanks for the choice of our products; we are in a position to grant you high quality
products, which follow high quality insurance models, UNI EN ISO 9001 and which use
the best materials that modern technology is able to offer.
Our products are the synthesis of the experience that our engineers have gained in the
field of planning and in the realization of uninterruptible power supplies, DC-AC inverters,
power supplies, emergency light device, emergency DC power supply and a lot of
customized products.
Every device is given with an “ only and personal test certificate “; the final check up is
entrusted to an automatic machine (run by a personal computer), which provides a
checking up certificate with the real data at the end of the process.
CAUTION !
Read through this manual respecting all the safety
instructions, during the installation and the use of the
device, as it works using dangerous voltages and currents.
SEE EMERGENCY SWITCHING OFF PROCEDURE.
Always refer to this manual for further references.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Voltage & frequency regulator is composed as follows:
RF INPUT FILTER – EMI filter.
INPUT SWITCH – Input AC automatic switch. Mains protection.
INPUT RECTIFIER – Bridge rectifier.
LIMIT-IN CIRCUIT-Limit-in board. It is used to provide soft charging of internal
capacitors (40 seconds) during start up procedure. (see “start-up procedure” section)
IGBT CONTROL UNIT (SINUSOIDAL INVERTER) - The inverter electronic circuit has been planned
with pulse width modulation system (PWM) ; it provides control to drives IGBT power module and to
protect it against short circuit, overload etc. An output electronic feed-back is provided directly from
output due to reduce the transformer loss voltage insertion.
IGBT POWER MODULE – It is composed by a power IGBT and its driver.
RF OUTPUT FILTER – EMI filter.
OUTPUT AUTO-TRANSFORMER – The output transformer translates the voltage from
IGBT (nominal 230Vac) into an higher voltage (about 270V). It is an auto-f transformer. It
is included only in 20 & 30A version. An output coil associated to IGBT module, provides
the perfect output sine wave
The transformer is not used in three phase input version.
CONTROL UNIT – Provides acoustic and visive alarms and functioning situation. It also
control the 50/60Hz selector and external enable & 0-10V control input.
LCD DIGITAL DISPLAY – Output voltage and current indication (this is not an
instrument).
OUTPUT SWITCH – Output AC automatic switch. Output disconnection and protection
device.

WARNING!: To prevent possible damage, using REMOTE CONTROL is
always necessary connect GROUND BOLT.
WARNING!: During REMOTE CONTROL situation, please turn the frontal knob in the
minimum output voltage level.
Verify the frontal knob voltage setting is always recommended!.
When “remote enable” is disabled, the output voltage comes back immediately to level
setting by frontal knob.

START-UP & EMERGENCY SWITCHING OFF
Unpacking
Check the external conditions of the packaging. In case it is damaged, verify the integrity
of product inside. In case the product inside is damaged too, refuse collecting the goods
or collect them with reservation.
Separate the parts of the packaging , but always keep the “ test certificate “of the device
and the “use and maintenance manual”.

Switching off procedure
If necessary and in case of dangerous situation, it is possible to insulate the device
totally, using the following switching off procedure:
•disconnect the AC source;
wait few seconds for total discharge
or
•open the output protection switch that disconnect the output wires. This
procedure does not insulate the device but interrupts the output voltage.
DEVICE PROTECTIONS
The device has the following protections:
Input protection
Automatic switch to protect mains.
Output protection
Overload
The equipment is electronically self-protected, cutting off the output voltage after 5
seconds. The overload red indicator is lit. To restart the unit, use ON-OFF frontal switch.
Short circuit
The equipment is electronically self-protected, cutting off the output voltage after 5
seconds. The overload red indicator is lit. To restart the unit, use ON-OFF frontal switch.
Internal protection
Over temperature protection
In case of internal over temperature, the equipment is automatically protected at 70°C.
The system shut downs the output voltage and red stop temperature indicator is on.

(Caution: the overload indication is already ON if the unit is turned OFF)
INPUT remote
Yellow led. Lit when the remote 0-10V input is enabled (see DB9 diagram pin 3&4 )
In “local control” situation the voltage regulation is made by frontal knob
In “remote control” situation the voltage regulation is made by a DB9 output due to an
external 0 to 10V voltage
OUTPUT 50Hz
Green led. 50Hz output
OUTPUT 60Hz
Green led. 60Hz output
50 / 60Hz switch
Frequency selector. Local frequency selector. Using remote frequency selector (by DB9)
this switch have to be leaved in 50Hz position.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE REGULATION knob
In “local control” position it is used to regulate the output voltage
In “remote control” position it is not enable

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
The equipment does not require special maintenance procedure.
Every 6 month (or before if necessary) disconnect the unit from mains (and load).
Wait for totally discharging situation.
Remove dust from fan, from frontal and side grids.
Every 5 years the internal capacitors and fan have to be replaced.
Please contact your dealer for more details.
