WARNING
INSTALLATION GUIDE
- Please read this document very carefully to avoid inverter malfunction, shock and/or fire hazards!
- This document provides a brief overview of a stand alone inverter installation. For long term safe and troublefree operation, it is very important to read the owner’s manual on the rear side of this paper as well!
- Please follow the exact installation sequence as given below. Skipping one or more steps could result in inverter malfunctioning or shock and/or fire hazards!

UNPACKING
The inverter package should contain the
following items :
- Inverter
- Wall bracket
- This Installation guide / Owner's manual
- WEEE flyer
- 2x M10 crimp terminals.
- 7x Mounting screws.
After unpacking, check if the
product shows any mechanical
damage. Never use the product
when the enclosure shows any visual
damage caused by harsh handling, or
when it has been dropped accidentally.
Contact your local supplier for further
information.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Prior to inverter mounting, please make sure that the mounting location meets the following requirements :
- Install the inverter in a well ventilated room.
- Avoid any contact with water or other liquids on the inverter. Do not expose the inverter to rain or moisture.
- Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or other high temperature environments. Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C
and 40°C (humidity
70°C.
- Do not obstruct the airflow around the inverter. Leave at least 10 centimeters clearance around the inverter. Do not place items
on or over the inverter while it's operating. When the inverter is running too hot, it will shut down until a safe temperature level is
reached to restart the inverter.
- Never use the inverter at locations where there is gas or explosion danger.
- Do not expose the inverter to dusty environments.
- Do not install the inverter directly above the batteries. Battery gasses can cause explosions and have corrosive properties which
may cause damage to the inverter.

WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Before making any electrical connections to your inverter, carefully
read all safety instructions below!
- Make sure that your complete inverter installation including all AC and DC
connections, are in accordance to all locally applicable regulations.
- Operation of your inverter without proper grounding may lead to hazardous
situations. Use the inverter chassis ground terminal between the fans, to
connect to your central ground (vehicle chassis, grounding system of your boat
etc.).
- This inverter has a floating AC output. The neutral (N) output should be
connected to chassis ground (PE) to ensure proper functioning of a GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) or RCBO. Please check your local regulations
for further details.
- Never remove the connection compartment panel when the battery is still
connected to your inverter. Before removing the panel for service, always
disconnect the battery and activate the inverter (power switch in position I) for
at least 10 seconds to discharge all internal capacitors. This procedure should
also be followed prior to transporting your inverter.
- To avoid inverter damage, always check if your battery voltage corresponds to
the input voltage range of your inverter.
- Always install a DC fuse inline with the battery positive (+) cable, as near as
possible to the battery.
- Make sure to connect the battery to the inverter using the correct polarity. The
red DC cable must be connected to the positive (+) terminal, and the black DC
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. Exchanging these cables will
damage the inverter permanently. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
- Never connect the inverter's AC output to an external AC source. This may
damage the inverter.
2b
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
- Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke or
allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation around the battery.
- Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands when done.
- If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
- Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto a battery might cause a shorted battery and
an explosion.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery. A battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing severe burns.

To access the connection compartment, remove
the two screws indicated above and slide the
red connection compartment cover downwards.
Never operate this product without having the
cover re-installed.
Notes :
This inverter has a floating AC output. The
neutral (N) output should be connected to
chassis ground (PE) to ensure proper
functioning of a GFCI or RCBO. Please note
that in some countries an RCBO only, is not
considered safe enough. Always check your
local regulations for further details.
WIRING DETAILS
1
Please consult the following table to determine the correct battery cable size for each model. The given cable sizes are valid for cables installed in free air. Using a smaller cable size or a longer cable may cause the
inverter to shutdown under heavy load. Fire and burning hazards are present if the battery cables are insufficiently sized for the expected current. Battery cable lengths longer than 3 meters, are not recommended.
2
2
An earth leakage circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) rated to support the expected load, must be included in series with the AC output. The AC output wiring must be sized accordingly (min. 2.5mm ).
3
The required contact specifications for the trigger switches are 5V/5mA. The required contact specifications for the remote switch are 60V/10mA. The maximum wire length between the switch and the Powersine
is 30m. The remote switch will only operate when the main on/off switch is either in position I or II.
