OVERVIEW AND FEATURES

This series is a double conversion Power Converter which produces stable pure sine wave voltage and frequency output (O/P). With the Converter, you can protect your equipment from most of the power problems, including power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise, etc. With the common neutral topology, the Converter provides internal connection from AC I/P neutral to AC O/P neutral; thus, it does not need to use an isolation transformer to provide 0 volt from AC I/P neutral to O/P neutral. This feature will reduce the interference to loads of communication or video system.

With outstanding performance & reliability, the unique benefits of the Converter include the following:

• Common Neutral, Double Conversion Topology (O/P Neutral to I/P Neutral is 0 volts normally)
• Wide Range Input Window and Input Power Factor correction
• Low Noise Smart Cooling Fan Design
• High Efficiency, New Full-bridge Inverter Design
• Full Function LCD Display
• Automatic Restart of Loads After Overload Shutdown
• AC Input Generator Compatible

INSTALLATION

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION. Please follow these instructions for installation and maintenance of the Converter. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future reference.
• Increased ambient temperature will shorten the life of the Converter, keep the Converter away from heating elements.
• If ambient temperature is over 40℃, the load level will be reduced.
• The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C to ensure optimal operation, over this range will reduce the average output power due to thermal de-rating.

INCLUDED ACCESSORIES

International Power Cord Set: 4 of the most commonly used plug type power cords

OPERATION

After installation with normal city power, the Converter will turn on automatically. Confirm the output voltage and frequency from LCD display by pressing the up/down select button.

Converter OFF: Pushing the main control button for 3 seconds, the Converter will turn off the output voltage. The CPU will run “OFF(idle) mode when LCD shows ‘OFF’.

In idle mode, Converter will turn on again when the main control button is pushed for 1 second. Please pull out the power cord or disconnect the input power if you want to shut down the converter completely.

Change the Output Voltage and Frequency: To push the two selection buttons, △ and ▽, at the same time for 3 seconds until the LCD display begins to blink.

To Change the Converter O/P Frequency

When the frequency value is blinking, push any selection button, △ or ▽, for 1 second to change the frequency setting! The setting will keep changing every 2 seconds if you keep pushing the button. Push two selection buttons at the same time for next setting, or leave the LCD blinking without pushing any button for 30 seconds to end the setting.

To Change the Converter O/P Frequency

When the voltage value is blinking, push any selection button for 1 second to change the rated voltage. Keep pushing the button until the required voltage blinking. Then, push two select buttons at the same time for confirmation, or leave the LCD blinking for 30 seconds to end the setting.

To Change the Converter Rated Voltage

When the voltage value is blinking, push any selection button for 1 second to change the rated voltage. Keep pushing the button until the required voltage blinking. Then, push two select buttons at the same time for confirmation, or leave the LCD blinking for 30 seconds to end the setting.

INDICATION AND CONTROL

LCD Display

The Converter LCD display shows the input voltage, output voltage, output frequency, output load level, and temperature.

Thermal Protection

If the Converter detects that it is starting to overheat, it will sound a sequence of 32 beeps every two seconds. The LCD will show high temperature symbol when the inside is too hot. If the Converter continues to overheat, it will eventually turn itself off to protect itself from damage. Once the Converter has cooled off sufficiently, it will automatically restart.

Output Short Circuit Protection

If the Converter detects that the output voltage is too low for at least 250 ms, and the output is short circuited or extremely overloaded. The Converter will shut down and attempt to restart after 30 seconds.

The Converter will continue attempting to restart up to 30 times. If the overload is still present after 30 attempts, the Converter shuts down and latches off. To restore the Converter operation, remove the cause of the output short circuit or extreme overload, then push the main control button for 1 second, the Converter will turn on again.

Output Overload Alarm

The Converter can accept up to 129% of full load (See spec. for each model’s rating) before continuous alarm sounds. If the output current drawn by the load exceeds the Converter’s over current alarm threshold, the CPU timer will start to count. If the overload continues for more than one minute an audible alarm will sound as long as the overload is present. If the overload alarm continues for more than one minute, the Converter will turn off the output. After a 30 second delay, the Converter output will restart.

Output Overload Protection

f the output of the Converter is loaded to more than its output overload protection threshold for more than two seconds, it will turn off its output, sound an audible alarm, and LCD will display overload symbol. After a 30 second delay, the Converter will turn on the output again. If the overload is no longer present, the audible alarm will stop, and the output will operate normally. If the overload is still present, the Converter will once again turn off the output and wait 30 seconds before attempting to start again.
