INVERTER EPM 250 / 500 /
1000
DESCRIPTION
The inverter uses PWM control for voltage / over current control & comes on
instantly during mains failure to feed power to predetermined points which
are connected to the inverter through a single wire and when the mains supply is
resumed the inverter automatically goes off and the load is connected to
the mains supply.
The battery
charging is controlled through an intelligent battery charging circuit.
The front panel of the inverter has,
1. Inverter Cut - Push
to on / Push to off switch along with a Red LED above . This feature
is provided
to conserve
battery power in case of power failure.
2. Yellow, Green & 2 Red LED's
indicating Batt. Chg., Mains, Standby & Overload status respectively.
Red LED
lights up during power failure, Green when the mains supply is present &
Yellow whenever
the battery
is being charged. A programmed intelligent charger takes care of the charging
cycle.
The overload Red LED blinks during excess load conditions & stops once the
excess load is
withdrawn.
The Rear panel has,
1.
Connector for making connections to the battery alongwith a FUSE inline & a
5A socket to connect
the
load.
MAINTENANCE & PRECAUTIONS
1. Fuse is provided at
the rear of the inverter & has to be replaced by 26 SWG / 22 SWG tinned
copper
wire only
(supplied in ample quantity with the inverter). Do not use thicker gauge or
eliminate the fuse,
as this will
have a damaging effect on the inverter.
2. Electrolyte level in all the cells
of the battery is to be topped up as & when required to 1/2" (approx.)
above the
plates with battery water commonly available at petrol pumps. Do not run the
battery dry,
as this will
cause irreversible damage to the battery and the load handling capacity will be
decreased
drastically.
Also do not overfill till the cap level (at the top) of the battery.
3. Vaseline (White
petroleum jelly) has to be applied regularly to the battery terminals. If the
terminals are
dirty /
sulphonated then clean them before applying vaseline. A situation of dirty
terminals should never
arise, as it
will drastically affect the performance of the inverter.
4. During terminal cleaning /
battery water top up, the system may be disengaged by removing the fuse
link on the
rear of the inverter.
5. Do not attempt to
shift the inverter (electrically) from its installed point, kindly consult us if
it has to be
shifted to another
electrical point.
6. Do not spill water
on the inverter or the battery, as it will damage the circuitry inside.
7. Do not cover the
inverter or the battery. In case it has to be covered / housed, provide ample
ventilation,
this is very
essential.
8. Do not take naked
flame (lighted candle, match stick etc.) near the battery to check the water
level etc.
as it will
cause the battery to catch fire.
9. At the time of installation the
recommended load (as per actual current drawn) has been informed to you,
kindly adhere
to the suggested load pattern to ensure optimum performance of the system.
10. Do not take out the AC
plug of the inverter mains supply, because when removed it carries the AC
voltage
generated by the inverter & if the plug pins are touched it gives a terrible
shock. Hence if the
plug has to
be taken out then first remove the fuse link provided at the rear of the
inverter to avoid shock
/ accident.
