5. Nastavení a instalace

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your inverter. Follow these steps carefully:

5.1 Výběr umístění

• Install the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the inverter for proper airflow to the cooling fans.
• Mount the inverter securely on a stable, non-flammable surface.

5.2 DC Input Connection (Battery)

1. Ujistěte se, že je vypínač měniče v poloze VYPNUTO.
2. Connect the supplied DC battery terminal covers to the appropriate terminals on the inverter: red to positive (+), black to negative (-).
3. Connect the other end of the DC cables to your 12V DC battery bank, ensuring correct polarity. Use heavy-gauge cables suitable for the inverter's wattage.
4. Tighten all connections securely to prevent loose connections, which can cause overheating and damage.

5.3 Připojení AC výstupu

• GFCI Outlets: For standard AC appliances, plug them directly into the dual 20A GFCI outlets on the front panel.
• AC Terminal Block: For applications requiring the full 3600W or a hardwired connection, use the AC direct connect terminal block. Consult a qualified electrician for proper wiring to this block. Ensure all wiring adheres to local electrical codes.

5.4 Remote Switch Connection (Optional)

If using an optional remote switch, connect its cable to the dedicated remote port on the inverter's front panel. An adapter cable is included for this purpose.

6. Návod k obsluze

Once the inverter is properly installed and connected, follow these steps for operation:

6.1 Zapnutí/vypnutí

1. Ensure all AC loads are disconnected or turned off before powering on the inverter.
2. Flip the main power switch on the inverter to the "ON" position. The green LED indicator should illuminate, and the volt/amp meters will display readings.
3. If using a remote switch, ensure the inverter's main switch is ON, then use the remote switch to control the inverter's power.
4. To power off, first disconnect or turn off all AC loads, then flip the inverter's main power switch to "OFF."

6.2 Monitorování výkonu

• The integrated volt and amp meters provide real-time feedback on your system's performance. Monitor these displays to ensure stable operation and prevent overloading.
• LED indicators will show green for normal operation and red for fault conditions (e.g., overload, over temperature).

6.3 Výběr frekvence

A switch is provided on the unit to change the output frequency between 50Hz and 60Hz. Adjust this setting according to the requirements of your connected appliances.

7. Údržba

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your AIMS Power Inverter:

• Čištění: Pravidelně čistěte vnější povrch střídače suchým hadříkem. Ujistěte se, že větrací otvory jsou bez prachu a nečistot. Nepoužívejte tekuté čisticí prostředky.
• Kontroly připojení: Regularly inspect all DC and AC connections for tightness. Loose connections can lead to power loss, overheating, and potential fire hazards.
• Stav baterie: Monitor your battery bank's health and charge level. A healthy battery system is essential for inverter performance.
