INSTALLATION
1. Install inverter in a cool, dry and well ventilated area away from any inflammable material.
2. Ensure the DC power cables are as short as possible (<2m) and of suitable size to handle the current
required. This is to minimise any voltage drop when the inverter draws high currents. Remember solid,
secure, clean connections are essential for optimum performance. It is better to use an extension lead in
the 230V circuit than in the 12V circuit.
3. Ground the inverter whenever possible.
Operation
Connect the inverter to the battery (red is positive, black is negative). Make sure that all connections are of
good quality. Switch the inverter on first and the unit to be powered afterwards. Switch off in reverse order.
To operate units with a high start voltage, it might be necessary to switch the unit several times on and off.
Wait a few seconds between every switching.
Protection
All SkyTronic inverters are protected against thermal overload, peak currents and short circuit. This ensures
the unit won’t be damaged when something happens. The unit will switch off automatically to protect the
internal parts.
To prevent switching off, always check if the cooling fan isn’t obstructed, if there is sufficient airflow around
the unit and if it’s connected to the right DC input voltage.
Fuse replacement
ALWAYS disconnect this unit from its power supply before attempting to replace the fuse. Remove the old
fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse with the exact same power rating. Replacement with anything
other than the exact same fuse might cause damage to this unit.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Measuring AC voltages:
The output wave of the AC inverter is a MODIFIED SINEWAVE. If you choose to measure the AC output
voltage, you must use an TRUE RMS VOLT METER. Using any other type of voltage measuring device will
result in an AC voltage reading that’s up to 20 to 30 volts lower than the rated value.
What battery do I need to run my inverter?
Batteries only have a limited power storage capacity and must be regularly recharged. In a car or on a boat
this is done when the engine is running. If you use a stand-alone battery, you must charge it with a separate
battery charger. To determine de required battery capacity you can divide the power consumption of a unit
by 10 for a 12 V inverter and by 20 for a 24V inverter. Example: You connect a portable TV with a power
consumption of 50W. If you have a 12V inverter, the current consumption is 5Amps and for a 24V system
2.5Amps. Depending on the capacity of the connected battery, you can easily calculate when you have to
recharge the battery. Never fully discharge your battery. It might be definitely damaged.
