5. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa
Instalazio egokia ezinbestekoa da inbertsorearen errendimendu eta segurtasunerako.
- Muntaketa: Choose a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location. Ensure sufficient clearance for airflow around the inverter, especially near the cooling fans.
- DC sarrerako konexioa:
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the 12V battery bank to the positive (+) DC input terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the 12V battery bank to the negative (-) DC input terminal on the inverter.
- Erabili tamaina egokiko kableak bolumena gutxitzekotage drop and ensure safe operation. Refer to electrical guidelines for cable sizing based on current and distance.
- Ziurtatu konexio guztiak estu eta seguru daudela.
- Lurreratzea: Connect the inverter chassis to a reliable earth ground using a suitable grounding wire.
- Korronte alternoko irteerako konexioa:
- Plug your AC appliances directly into the GFCI outlets on the inverter.
- For hardwired applications, consult a qualified electrician to connect to the AC output terminals.
- AC Input Connection (for ATS function): If using the automatic transfer switch, connect a reliable AC power source (e.g., shore power, generator) to the AC input terminals.
- Urruneko kontrola (aukerakoa): If using a remote control unit (e.g., CR-10), connect it to the designated RS-232 port.
Garrantzitsua: Always ensure the inverter is OFF before making any connections.
6. Funtzionamendua
Follow these steps to operate your COTEK SD3500-112 GFCI inverter:
- Piztu: Ensure all DC and AC connections are secure. Switch the inverter's main power switch to the "ON" position.
- Egoeraren Adierazleak: Observe the LED indicators on the inverter (if present) for status such as power, fault, or overload. Refer to the full manual for detailed indicator meanings.
- Kargak konektatzea: Plug your AC appliances into the GFCI outlets. Ensure the total wattagKonektatutako etxetresna elektrikoen potentzia ez da 3500W-tik gorakoa.
- GFCI proba: Periodically press the "TEST" button on the GFCI outlets to ensure they are functioning correctly. Press "RESET" after testing.
- Energia aurrezteko modua: If configured, the inverter may enter a power-saving mode when no load or a very light load is detected, reducing quiescent current draw.
- Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS): If an AC input source is connected, the inverter will automatically switch to that source when available, prioritizing it over battery power. When the AC input is lost, it will switch back to inverter (battery) power.
- Itzali: Disconnect all AC loads, then switch the inverter's main power switch to the "OFF" position.
7. Mantentzea
