Powersine dc to ac sinewave invertersPowersine dc to ac sinewave invertersPowersine dc to ac sinewave invertersPowersine dc to ac sinewave inverters- 8 -2.5 Connecting the loadBefore you connect your appliance(s) to the inverter, always check it’s maximum powerconsumption. Do not connect appliances to the inverter needing more than the nominalpower rating of the inverter continuously. Some appliances like motors or pumps, aredrawing large inrush currents in a startup situation. In these situations, it is possible thatthe startup current exceeds the overcurrent trip level of the inverter. In this case the outputvoltage will shortly decrease to limit the output current of the inverter. If this overcurrenttrip level is continuously exceeded, the inverter will shut down and restart within 18seconds. In this case it is advisable to disconnect this appliance from the inverter, since itrequires to much power to be driven by this inverter. Note that at higher ambienttemperature levels, the overload capacity of the inverter is reduced.WARNINGWHEN CONNECTING MORE THAN ONE APPLIANCE TO THEINVERTER, IN COMBINATION WITH A COMPUTER, NOTE THAT IFONE OF THE APPLIANCES IS STARTING UP, IT CAN CAUSE YOURCOMPUTER TO REBOOT DUE TO A SUDDEN VOLTAGE DROP.CAUTIONNEVER CONNECT THE INVERTER’S OUTPUT TO THE ACDISTRIBUTION GRID, LIKE YOUR HOUSEHOLD AC WALL OUTLET.IT WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE INVERTER!2.6 Activating the inverterWhen all the above requirements are checked and satisfied and all connections are made,it’s time to turn on your Powersine inverter by pushing the powerswitch in the ‘I’ position(see top label for pushdirection). After a short two tone beep (except PS200-xx models),indicating that all internal circuits are checked, the sinewave shaped output voltage isgently rising until 230V/50Hz ± 2% (or 115V/60Hz ± 3%) is reached.When the inverter is not supplying power to an appliance for a longer time, it’srecommended to use the inverter in the "Auto Standby" (ASB) mode to heavily reduce theinverter's own power consumption. In this case the power switch must be pushed in the'II' position. In the ASB mode the inverter will generate a testpulse on it's output once persecond, to check if there is a load applied. When the ASB mode is activated (bygenerating a reversed two tone beep, (except PS200-xx models), the indicator LED willbe continuously on for 4 seconds while the inverter outputs a continuous 230V (or 115V)sinewave. After this 4 seconds the continuous output will change to a pulsed output,indicated by a flashing indicator LED. When a load is connected to the inverter output (orswitched on) drawing more than approx. 5W, 12W or 15W (depending on model), theinverter jumps to the continuous mode immediately, delivering power to the load.
