1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 USE OF THIS MANUAL

This manual serves as a guideline for safe and effec-

tive operation, maintenance and possible correction

of minor malfunctions of the inverter. It is therefore

obligatory that every person who works on or with

the inverter must be completely familiar with the con-

tentsof this manual,and that he/shecarefully follows

the instruction contained herein.

Installation of, and work on the inverter, may be car-

ried out only by qualified, authorized and trained per-

sonel, familiar with the locally applicable standards

and taking into consideration the safety guidelines

and measures (chapter 2 of this manual).

This manual has 20 pages.

1.2 GARANTEE SPECIFICATIONS

according to the legally applicable standards and

specifications. Should work take place, which is not

in accordance with the guidelines, instructions and

specifications contained in this user's manual, then

damage may occur and/or the unit may not fulfil its

specifications. All of these matters may mean that

the guarantee may become invalid.

1.3 QUALITY

During their production and prior to their delivery, all

of our units are exhaustively tested and inspected.

The guarantee period is two years.

1.4 VALIDITY OF THIS MANUAL

All of the specifications, provisions and instructions

contained in this manual apply solely to the Master-

volt standard versions of the MASS inverter.

1.5 LIABLITY

Mastervolt can accept no liability for:

• damage due to use of the inverter;

• possible errors in the manuals and the results

thereof.

CAREFUL !

Never remove the type

number plate.

2.1 WARNINGS AND SYMBOLS

Safety instructions & warnings are marked in this

manual by the following symbols:

CAREFUL !

special data, restrictions and rules with

regard to preventing damage

a WARNING refers to possible injury to

the user or significant material damage

tothechargerif the userdoesnot(care-

fully) follow the procedures.

2.2 USE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE

1 The inverter is constructed as per the applicable

safety-technical guidelines.

2 Use the inverter only:

• in a technical correct condition;

• in a closed, wel-ventilated room, protected

against rain, moisture, dust and non conden-

sing circumstances;

• observing the instructions in the user's and in-

stallations manual.

Never use the inverter in situations

where there is danger of gas- or dust

explosion!

3 Use other than as mentioned above is not consi-

dered to be consistent with the intended purpo-

se. Mastervolt is not liable for any damage resul-

ting from failure to comply with the above.

2.3 ORGANIZATIONAL MEASURES

The user must always:

• have access to the user's manual;

• be familiar with the contents of this manual.

This applies in particular to chapter 2, Safety

Guidelines and Measures.

2.4 MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

1 If the inverter is switched off during maintenance

and/orrepairactivities,itshould be securedagainst

unexpected and unintentional switching on:

• switch off the connection with the batteries or

remove the inverter fuse;

• be sure that third parties cannot reverse the

measures taken.

2 If required, use only original spare parts. The in-

verter has no serviceable parts, except the fan

and pcb.

2.5 WARNING FOR SPECIFIC DANGERS

1 Connect the earth of the inverter output to the

central ground and use a RCCB switch in the in-

verter output.

2 Protect the DC wiring with a fuse, according to

the guidelines in this users manual.

3 Check the wiring at least once a year. Defects

suchas loose connections, heat damaged cables

etc. must be corrected immediately.

SAFETY GUIDELINES AND MEASURES

2 SAFETY QUIDELINES AND MEASURES

26 March 2000 / MASS Sine 12/500/ EN

4 Do not work on the inverter or the system if it is

still connected to a current source. Only allow

changes in your electrical system to be caried out

by qualified electricians.

5 Connection and protection must be done in ac-

cordance with local standards.

6 Before opening the cabinet of the inverter, switch

off the mains and remove the inverter fuse.

Setting the switch on the front of the inverter

to 0 is not sufficient !

2.6 WARNING REGARDING LIFE SUPPORT

APPLICATIONS

Mastervolt products are not sold for applications in

any medical equipment intended for use as a

component of any life support system unless a spe-

cific written agreement pertaining to such intended

use is executed between the product manufacturer

and Mastervolt. Such agreement will require the

equipment manufacturer either to contract for addi-

tional reliability testing of the Mastervolt parts and/or

to commit to undertake such testing as a part of the

manufacturing process. In addition such manufactu-

rer must agree to indemnify Mastervolt from any

claims arising from the use of Mastervolt parts in the

life support equipment.

SAFETY GUIDELINES AND MEASURES

3 OPERATION

3.1 SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Switching on: Put the on/off/remote switch on the

front of the inverter on "I on". The green lamp “inver-

ter on" lights up, and the inverter will start. If you use

a remote control panel, put the on/off switch to ‘re-

mote’,and put theon/offswitchonthe remotecontrol

panel to ‘on’.

Switching off: Put the on/off/remote switch on the

frontof the inverteron "0 off".The inverterstopsand

all the lights that are on, go off.

Careful !

Switching off the inverter with the switch

on the front does not break the connec-

tion to the batteries. The inverter remains connected

to the batteries.

3.2 INDICATOR LIGHTS

The functions of the indicator lights are (see fig. 1):

inverter on: inverter is switched on

low battery: battery voltage is too low

temperature: inverter is overheated

Short description:

“inverter on”

The green led will be lit when the inverter is switched

on. In case of an overload (and the inverter has been

switched off) the green led will start to blink.

“low battery”

The inverter is switched off if the battery voltage is

too low (see table hereunder). If the voltage rises

above the values given below, the inverter restarts

automatically. model 12V

switch off voltage 10V

switch on voltage 11V

“temperature”

The inverter switches off in high ambient temperatu-

res and /or sustained overload. After cooling down,

the inverter restarts automatically.

3.2.1 On the remote control

In case of connecting a remote control panel, you

can read the following after switching on the inverter:

inverter on: inverter is switched on

failure: inverter is overloaded, overheated

or battery voltage is too low

4 TROUBLE SHOOTING

Malfunction Possible cause What to do

No output voltage Battery voltage too low Check battery voltage with a Volt-

meter, disconnect the users or

charge the batteries.

Battery voltage too high Check battery voltage,

switch off the charger.

Fuse in DC distribution failed Replace failed fuse.

Short circuit or overloaded Disconnect load from the

inverter.

On/off switch on ‘remote’ You can only use this switch if a

remote control panel is connected.

Switch the remote panel on/off

switch to ‘on’.

Inverter constantly switches Battery voltage too low Check battery voltage, discon-

on/off nect the users or charge the batte-

ries.

Loose connections in wiring Check the wiring between

inverter and battery for loose

connections.

Diameter battery cables too small Measure the voltage drop in

the wiring, in case of > 0.5 Volt

replace the wiring by cables

with more diameter.

LED “on” blinks and the The connected load is too Reduce the load connected

inverter is switched off much for the inverter to the the inverter.

The battery is empty The inverter will try to supply con-

nected loads, but due to low batte-

ry the inverter stops for 1,5 minute.

This wait-state gives the battery ti-

me to recover.

If you cannot correct a problem with the aid of the malfunction table, contact your MASTERVOLT Service Center

or MASTERVOLTAmsterdam for an extended service list, tel: INT+ 31-20-3422100.

5 MAINTENANCE

For a reliable and optimum function of the inverter,

the following is required:

• Check at least once a year if all cable and wire

connections are stil firmly connected.

• Keep the inverter dry, clean and dust-free, in

order to ensure good heat discharge.

• Check the fan operation (has a lifetime of at

least 10 years in normal use).
