EcoLine Omvormer 12V Naar 220V / 230V

Product Information

The DC to AC Power Inverter is a device that allows you to convert DC power from a battery or other power source into AC power, which can be used to operate various electrical appliances. It is designed for use in vehicles or other locations where access
to AC power is limited.

Placement Guideline

For optimum operation, it is recommended to place the inverter on a flat surface such as the floor of a car. This ensures stability and proper ventilation for the device.

Warnings and Cautions

  • The power or voltage rating of AC products is the average power they can handle.
  • If the battery charge is low and the inverter senses a drop in DC input voltage to 10.4-11V, an audio warning will sound. It is important to shut down sensitive electrical appliances at this point. If the voltage drops further to 9.7-10.3V, the inverter will automatically turn off to avoid excessive battery discharge.
  • Start the vehicle early to prevent battery capacity loss and avoid any impact on vehicle starting and battery life.
  • Although the inverter has over-voltage protection, excessive voltage can still cause damage.
  • The surface temperature of the inverter may rise to 60°C during continuous use. Ensure proper ventilation and keep heat-sensitive objects away from it.

Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

Problem: Inverter does not work, switch light does not shine

Possible reasons and solutions:

  1. Check the battery and replace it if necessary.
  2. Inspect battery connections and replace the converter if damaged.
  3. Verify proper wiring connections and tighten terminal contacts.

Problem: Electrical equipment does not work, red indicator light on the converter

Possible reasons and solutions:

  1. Ensure that the power consumption of AC products is within the rated limit. Try using power converters with lower electrical power requirements.
  2. If the electrical power converter has a lower rating or peak power higher than the inverter, it can cause overload shutdown. Use a converter with similar surge power as the inverter.
  3. If the battery is depleted and the inverter issues a warning, recharge or replace the battery.
  4. If the inverter shuts down due to high temperature caused by poor ventilation, let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove any items around the fan and inverter, and place it in a cool location. Restart the inverter.
  5. If the input voltage is too high, check the charging system and ensure the battery output voltage is 12V.

Problem: Converter output voltage detected is too low

Possible reasons and solutions:

  1. When measuring the output voltage, use a True RMS multi-meter for accurate data. General voltage meters may have a small measurement range.

Problem: Inverter warning

Possible reasons and solutions:

  1. If the inverter issues a warning due to low voltage or over-temperature protection, use thicker wire or cable to recharge the battery or reduce the length of the cable. Ensure the inverter operates under cool conditions or improve ventilation around it to restore normal operation.

Problem: Converter can only drive low-power AC product

Possible reasons and solutions:

  1. If the voltage is attenuated by a short length of wire, use thicker wire to overcome this issue.

Placement Guideline

For optimum operation,the inverter should be placed on a flat surface as the floor or car under these conditions as follows:

  • Dry: no water or get wet in the rain
  • Cool: the temperature between 0 ℃(32 ℉)and 40 ℃(104 ℉)
  • Ventilation: at lease 2inches(5 cm)clearance above and on all sides if the inverter for proper cooling.

 Usage of the Inverter

  • turn the inverter switch to (OFF) position,and then plug the inverter DC plug the inverter DC Plug into the car cigarette lighter socket, make sure that they are firmly linked.
  • make sure the electrical power of the equipment you use is under the electrical power of the inverter.Plug the AC product you wish to operate into the AC 220V outlet of the inverter and switch it on.
  • Switch the inverter on,the green light indicates that it is working normally.
  • The red FAULT light indicates shutdown caused by low or high voltage,overload or excessive temperature.
  • In many cases,for the limited voltage from the car cigarette lighter,it may shutdown automatically and the Fault Red light will be lighted.

Warning and Caution

  • The power or “voltage” rating of AC products is the average power they use.TVs,monitors,electric motors,and other equipment are firstly switch on.They consume more power than their power rating,having high ‘surge’ requirement on starting up.Although inverter can supply momentary surge power as high as 40% more(for example,80W inverter can supply 120W for the products you use).But ,the surge power of the equipment you use may be excess of the power supplied by the inverter,causing overload shutdown.Specially happen when inverter supply power to several products at the same time.Then you should switch off the electrical products,switch on the inverter,lastly switch on one by one,the products that has the peak power firstly.
  • b.As the battery charge is using up,the inverter senses DC input voltage has dropped to 10.4-11V,an audio warning will appear.Then the computer or other sensitive electrical appliances should be shut down.if you ignore the sound,and the voltage drops to 9.7-10.3V ,the inverter will automatic turn-off to avoid battery discharge excessively.Power Protection make it shut down,the red indicator light is turned on.
  • Start the vehicle early for battery charging,to prevent its capacity dripping,to prevent the impact on vehicle starting and the battery life.
  • Although there is an over-voltage protection function of the inverter, it may be damaged by excessive voltage.
  • After continuous use, the shell surface temperature will rise to 60℃, pay attention to keep ventilation, objects that is susceptible to heat should be kept away from it.
