ANALYTICS SYSTEMS IPSi305W-Y Intelligent Pure Sine Inverter

Introduction

The IPSi305W series of Intelligent Pure Sinewave Inverters are designed specifically for powering computers and other sensitive AC loads in rugged, mobile, off-grid environments. They produce pure sinewave AC power, identical to a conventional AC outlet. Built for service in high-moisture environments this unit features watertight seals and connectors and is built to meet the IP66 rating. For additional protection, the IPSi305Y units are tested and certified to meet the IP67 rating. Internally, the IPSi305W/Y is controlled by a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for optimal control and the most efficient operation possible. The heavy-duty Toroidal Power Transformer steps the low voltage AC produced by the Power MOSFET Transistors to 110 or 220 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. Additional filtering on the AC output reduces or eliminates EMI noise that can interfere with sensitive communications equipment. Built for the safest operation possible, this unit features low voltage warning with shutdown circuitry to protect the DC power source. While the inverter is safeguarded by high voltage and over temperature protection both with shutdown circuitry. All the alarm conditions can be monitored on the bright LED indicator display which can also be mirrored on the optional remote control panel. Using the free-to-download InverterWizard software from Analytic Systems, you can change the output frequency, adjust the voltage shutdown thresholds and view and record operating data from any PC with a standard USB interface.

Installation

MOUNTING

• Mount the unit in a WELL VENTILATED area. Allow at least one inch (2.54 cm) of clearance all around the unit for adequate cooling.
• The IPSi305W is built to meet the IP66 rating, for protection again high-pressure water spray. Each IPSi305Y is tested and certified to meet the IP67 rating for protection against submersion.
• Please take this into consideration when choosing a mounting location.
• CAUTION: DO NOT MOUNT THE UNIT ANYWHERE EXPLOSIVE GASES CAN ACCUMULATE.
• A slight arc may occur when the power leads are connected, and in the unlikely event of a failure, sparks may be generated inside the unit.

GROUNDING

• The unit case is connected to AC Ground and AC Neutral in order to meet regulatory requirements and reduce the possibility of it generating any radio frequency interference.
• The unit case must be bonded appropriately to the grounding system of the vehicle or marine vessel. On a vehicle, bond the case to the vehicle’s frame. On a marine vessel, bond the case to the vessel’s hull. A grounding stud is provided on the front panel for this purpose.
• To ensure proper grounding, check the connection with an ohmmeter. The case is isolated from the DC input, so the DC power can be connected to a different ground from the AC output.

DISCONNECTING

If you need to disconnect the Inverter for service or storage:

1. Move the power switch to OFF and disconnect the DC power source.
2. With power disconnected, move the power switch to ON.
3. Leave the switch in this position for one minute to discharge the storage capacitors.
4. Return the power switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the load(s).
5. The inverter is ready for service or storage.

IMPORTANT:
BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING ANYTHING TO THE INVERTER, MAKE THE UNIT IS OFF.

DC Connections

IMPORTANT:
BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING ANYTHING TO THE INVERTER, THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE TURNED OFF.

DC INPUT CONNECTION

This unit is equipped with a CNLINKO IP67 YM-20-C02SX-01-001 connectors with a protective cover to serve as a DC Input Connection. Connect the DC power source here using wiring suitable for the input amps. The maximum input amps can be found on the unit’s top panel label and also in the Specifications section. The polarity of this connection can be found on the label on the unit’s front panel and also in the table below.

CAUTION:
DO NOT REVERSE CONNECT THE DC INPUT POWER! This will damage the inverter and will not be covered under warranty.

AC Connections

AC OUTPUT CONNECTION

This unit is equipped with a CNLINKO YM-20-J03SX-01-001connector with a protective cover to serve as an AC Output Connection. Connect the AC load here using wiring suitable for the expected output. The maximum output current can be found on the unit’s top panel label and also in the Specifications section.

CAUTION:
DO NOT APPLY AC VOLTAGE TO THE AC OUTPUT CONNECTION! This will damage the inverter and will not be covered under warranty.

Off-line UPS

The Offline UPS (Uninterruptible Power Source) option allows the inverter to function as a backup power source in the event of external AC power failure.

NORMAL OPERATION

• The AC power source supplies AC power to both the battery charger and the load (Running through the inverter’s off-line).
• The battery charger supplies DC power to a battery, maintaining it at full charge. This battery is connected to the inverter’s DC Input Connection(s).

AC POWER FAILURE

• The inverter detects a drop in AC voltage and starts operation.
• The inverter draws DC power from the connected battery which inverts it to AC power to supply the load.
• The inverter continues operating until it detects that the AC Voltage has been restored or the battery is discharged.

TO SET UP THE OFF-LINE UPS:

1. Connect the AC power source to the AC Input Connection.
2. Connect the DC power source (batteries) to the DC Input Connection.
3. Connect the load to the AC Output Connection.
4. Turn the inverter ON. The Bypass LED will glow green indicating the load is being supplied with power from the AC power source through the inverter’s off-line.
5. If the AC power fails, the Bypass LED will turn off and the Invert LED and 50/60Hz LED will glow green indicating the Inverter is operating.

The AC input voltage thresholds for the inverter to take over supplying and to end supplying AC power can be changed using InverterWizard to fit your specific needs. For more information, see the InverterWizard manual.

TIP:
MAKE SURE THE BATTERIES HAVE WITH ENOUGH CAPACITY TO POWER THE LOAD FOR THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE EVENT OF AC POWER FAILURE. For example, a 2000 watt Inverter with 24 VDC input will draw ~100 A, so for 2 hours of runtime, the minimum required battery capacity is 280 amps-hours @ 24 volts.

InverterWizard

InverterWizard is optional software that can be used to adjust the inverter’s operating settings. InverterWizard is free-to-download from www.analyticsystems.com or available by emailing sales@analyticsystems.com
Using InverterWizard, you can:

• Set the inverter’s output frequency to either 50.00 or 60.00 Hz.
• Adjust the inverter’s output voltage over a ±10% range in 1 VAC interval.
• Set the voltage thresholds for the low voltage alarms.
• Set the voltage thresholds for UPS function to start and stop. This function is only available on units with the UPS option. See Off-line UPS for more information.
• Update the inverter’s firmware.
• Monitor and record the inverter’s operating data.

ALTERNATE DC VOLTAGES AND LOW VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN

IPSi series Intelligent inverters are factory-preset for the low voltage alarm/shutdown to trigger if the unit detects an input voltage drop of:

• <12 VDC for a -12 model
• <24 VDC for a -20 model
• <48 VDC for a -40 model

If the inverter uses an alternate input voltage such as 32 VDC, 36 VDC, or 72 VDC (rail) battery then the low voltage shutdown thresholds will need to be adjusted using InverterWizard.

NOTE:
INVERTERWIZARD IS NOT REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE INVERTER.
The inverter can immediately be put into service if its default operating settings are suitable for your needs. The inverter’s default settings are listed its label.

Troubleshooting

This unit features eight LED indicators and an alarm buzzer to help diagnose any malfunctions during operation. In the event of a malfunction, the alarm buzzer will sound prior to the inverter shutting down. You should immediately check which LEDs are glowing to determine the cause of the malfunction.

TIP:
FOR QUICK REFERENCE, IF THE UNIT IS EXPERIENCING A MALFUNCTION: THE INVERT LED WILL BE OFF AND THE BYPASS LED WILL BE GLOWING RED.

normal operation.
Fix:| Check that the power source is appropriately rated for use with the inverter. If using InverterWizard , check the Low Voltage Alarm thresholds are properly set for the battery voltage you are using to power the inverter, for example: 21V for a 24V battery and 28V for a 32V battery.

If the above are all in working order, the cause is likely an internal component failure and the unit must be returned for repair.

HIGH VOLTAGE LED is ON| The input voltage is too high for normal operation.
Fix:| Check that the power source is appropriately rated for use with the inverter. The inverter can be damaged if the input voltage exceeds the rating indicated on the label. Over-voltage damage is not covered under warranty.

If the above are checked and in working order, the cause is likely an internal component failure and the unit must be returned for repair.

OVER TEMP LED is ON| The unit’s internal temperature is too hot for normal operation.
Fix:| Check that the unit’s cooling fans are functioning. If the fans are NOT running, the unit must be returned for repair. If the fans are running, you may need to remount the inverter for improved ventilation.

The inverter will automatically derate its maximum power rating to maintain a safe operating temperature. If the internal temperature exceeds the safe maximum, the unit will shut off its outputs. When the temperature drops to safe operating range, the inverter will automatically cover.

OVERLOAD LED is ON| The load is drawing too much current from the inverter.
Fix:| The load has been drawing the peak current from the inverter for longer than its intended duty cycle. Reduce the load on the inverter by disconnecting some devices from the output.
