1 Important Safety Instructions

WARNING !

Before you install and use Your Dometic SI 1500 Sine

Inverter, be sure to read and follow these safety

instructions. Save this for later reference.

1.1 General Safety Precautions

1-1-1. Do not expose the SI 1500 Sine Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or

dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation

openings. Do not install the SI 1500 Sine Inverter in a zero-clearance

compartment. Overheating may result.

1-1-2. To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, make sure that existing wiring

is in good electrical condition and that wire size is not undersized. Do

not operate the SI 1500 Sine Inverter with damaged or substandard

wiring.

1-1-3.This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks.

To prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartments containing

batteries or flammable materials or in locations which require ignition

protected equipment. This includes any space containing

gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other

connections between components of the fuel system.

1.2 Precautions When Working with Batteries

1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and

water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water

for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

1-2-2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or

short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an

explosion.

1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces or

watches when working with a battery. A battery produces a short-circuit

current high enough to weld a ring or other metal, causing a severe

burn.

3 Introduction

This Dometic SI 1500 Sine Inverter is a member of the most advanced

line of mobile AC power systems available. To get the most out of the

inverter, it must be installed and used properly.

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual before installing

and using this model.

3.1 Front Panel Operation

3-1-1. Front view:

1500W

PURE SINE WAVE 230V AC 50 Hz

3-1-2. ON / OFF switch:

Power ON/OFF switch, leave in the OFF position during

installation.

3-1-3. Power saving :

Power energy saving enable.

OVP : over voltage protection when on

UVP : under voltage protection when on

OTP: over temperature protection when on

OLP : over load protection when on

Input volts : input voltage display indication battery voltage

level

Load watts : AC load watts display.

3.2 Rear Panel Operation :

3-2-1. Ventilation openings:

Do not obstruct, allow at least 25 mm for air flow.

3-2-2. Battery terminals:

Connect to 12Vdc/24Vdc battery or other 12Vdc/24Vdc power

source. On the inverter red (+) is positive, black (-) is negative.

Reverse polarity connection will blow the internal fuse and may

damage the inverter permanently.

3-2-3. RS-232C:

Connect for remote control unit (option accessory)

3-2-4. Connect chassis ground terminal to earth or to vehicle chassis

using 10 mm² wire.

WARNING !

Operation of the inverter without a proper chassis ground

connection may result in an electrical safety hazard.

Before proceeding further, carefully check that the Dometic

SI 1500 Sine Inverter is NOT connected to any batteries,

and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical

sources. Do not connect the output terminals of the Dometic

SI 1500 Sine Inverter to an incoming AC source, it may

result in an electrical safety hazard and damage the

Inverter.
