9 Using the inverter
e
Caution
If no circuit breaker is present: If the inverter is connected to the
external mains voltage, the 230 V output socket is earthed.
If there is no external mains voltage, the inverter is only connected
to the battery (DC operation). In this case, the 230 V output socket
is not earthed, but safeguarded with the protective insulation
instead.

Caution – Risk of short circuit!
You must switch on the inverter first before switching on the
consumers.
When using the inverter, observe the following instructions:
z If the battery voltage drops below the alarm value during operation (see
“Low voltage alarm” in chapter “Technical data” on page 41), a warning
signal sounds and LED “UVP” (fig. 1 7, page 3) lights up.
z If the battery voltage drops below the shutdown value (See “Low voltage
shutdown” in chapter “Technical data” on page 41), the inverter switches
off.
z If the inverter overheats, it switches off and LED “OLP” (fig. 1 6, page 3)
lights up.
After it cools down, the inverter automatically switches back on.
z When operating the inverter at a high load for lengthy periods, it is
advisable to start the engine in order to recharge the vehicle battery.
➤ Connect your consumer to the 230 V output (fig. 1 4, page 3).
You can also connect a socket distribution system.
