User manual DOMETIC SI 1500 24V

[. . . ] Welcome to the Dometic world Dometic Pure Sine wave Inverters ­ A sign of comfort The SI 1500 Inverter is designed as a stand ­alone power inverter. this Inverter is extremely suitable for demanding RV , Commercial Vehicle , and Marine appliances. With its advanced power saving features you will enjoy the freedom mobile power wherever you go!You have made a wonderful choice to use Inverters from Dometic. [. . . ] Also, use only high quality copper wiring and keep cable length short, we recommend less than 3 meters / 10 feet. Failure to place an in-line fuse on the "+" cable running between the inverter and battery may cause damage to the inverter and will void warranty. Inverter Operation To operate the inverter, turn it on using the ON/OFF switch on the front panel. The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If you are operating several loads from the inverter, turn them on separately, one by one, after the inverter has been turned on. This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting currents for all the loads at once and give you a problem free performance. It does not disconnect input voltage from the inverter. At low input current, this voltage is very close to the battery voltage. At high input current, this voltage will be lower than the battery voltage because of the voltage drop across the cable and connections. Ideally, the voltage should remain in the green areas of the bar graph. If the voltage goes into the red area at top and bottom of the graph, inverter may shutdown. The AC load watt bar graph indicates the power drawn from the inverter. For long term operation, the watt indicator should remain in the green and orange area of the bar graph. Short term operation is possible with watt indicator in the red area. If the watt indicator rises to high values the bar will flash and the inverter will shut down to protect itself. Over voltage indicator: The over voltage indicator indicates that the inverter has shut itself down because the maximum input voltage is exceeded. Under voltage indicator: The under voltage indicator indicates that the inverter has shut it self down because the input voltage is below the minimum level. Over temp indicator: The over temp indicator indicates that the inverter has shut itself down because the maximal temperature has been exceeded. The inverter may overheat because it has been operated at power levels above its rating, or because it has been installed in a location which does not allow it to dissipate heat properly. the inverter will restart automatically , once it has cooled off. Overload indicator: The overload indicator indicates that the inverter has shut itself down because the output has been short circuited or drastically overloaded. Switch the ON/OFF switch to OFF, correct the fault condition, and then switch the ON/OFF switch back to ON to reset the unit. [. . . ] Following indications will be observed when the inverter is powered on and subsequently loaded and unloaded when power saving "sleep" mode is in disabled condition: ( the initial condition is that the inverter is switched off and all loads are disconnected. There will be 2 beeps and green led will start flashing with a flashing sequence of flash-flash-flash . After about 3 seconds, there will be 1 beep and the green led will stop flashing and switch off. Output power will be available after about 15 to 18 sec from the time the green led switches off.
