Uppsetning og uppsetning

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your AIMS Power Inverter Charger. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician or technician.

1. Mounting the Inverter Charger

• Veldu þurran, svalan og vel loftræstan stað.
• Mount the unit horizontally on a flat, non-combustible surface.
• Ensure at least 30cm (12 inches) of clear space around the cooling fan and vents for proper airflow.
• Forðist að setja upp í beinu sólarljósi eða nálægt hitagjöfum.

2. DC Wiring (Battery Connection)

Connect the inverter charger directly to your 12V battery bank using appropriately sized cables. Use heavy-gauge, low-resistance cables to minimize voltage drop and ensure efficient power transfer.

• Connect the positive (+) terminal of the inverter to the positive (+) terminal of the battery bank.
• Connect the negative (-) terminal of the inverter to the negative (-) terminal of the battery bank.
• Install a properly rated DC fuse or circuit breaker (e.g., 300A for this 1000W model) as close to the battery positive terminal as possible.
• Ensure all connections are clean, tight, and secure.

3. AC Wiring (Input and Output)

The inverter charger has both an AC input and AC output. The AC input is used for charging batteries and passing through AC power, while the AC output provides 120V AC power to your loads.

• AC inntak: Connect a 120V AC source (shore power, generator) to the AC input socket.
• AC framleiðsla: Connect your AC appliances or distribution panel to the GFCI outlet on the front panel.
• Ensure all AC wiring adheres to local electrical codes and uses appropriate wire gauges.

4. Jarðtenging

• Connect the grounding electrode terminal on the inverter charger to a reliable earth ground.
• For mobile applications (RV, boat), ensure proper chassis grounding.

5. Valfrjálsar tengingar

• Fjarstýring: Connect an optional LCD or LED remote control unit to the respective ports for convenient monitoring and control.
• Hitaskynjari rafhlöðu: Connect the battery temperature sensor to the battery bank and the designated port on the inverter for optimized charging.
• Auto Generator Start: Connect compatible generator control wiring to the Auto Gen Start terminal if using this feature.

Notkunarleiðbeiningar

• When a 120V AC source is connected to the AC input, the unit will automatically switch to charger mode.
• The integrated 35A smart charger will begin charging the connected battery bank.
• Adjust the Charge Current Control Dial to set the desired charging current.
• The unit will also pass through the incoming AC power to the AC output, powering connected loads directly from the AC source.

4. Transfer Switch Operation

• The auto transfer switch ensures a seamless transition between inverter power and incoming AC utility/generator power.
• When AC input is detected, the unit prioritizes the external AC source.
• When AC input is lost, the unit automatically switches back to inverter mode.

5. Dip Switch Settings

The dip switches on the rear panel allow for customization of various operational parameters, such as battery type, charge voltage settings, and power save mode. Refer to the detailed manual for specific configurations.

Viðhald

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your inverter charger.

• Þrif: Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a dry cloth. Ensure vents and cooling fan are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Tengingar: Annually inspect all electrical connections (DC and AC) for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
• Viðhald rafhlöðu: Follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance. Ensure batteries are properly charged and maintained to prolong their lifespan.
