What is an inverter?
An inverter is a technical device to invert d .c . voltage into sinusoidal alternating voltage .
In the case of the ECTIVE
®
inverter the d .c . voltage is usually provided by a battery . In
this way, the inverter inverts direct into alternating current . The 230 V grounded protect-
ed contact socket of the inverter allows to operate electronic devices independant of
position and autonomously, which usually need a 230 V a domestic power supply .
With the ECTIVE
®
TMI series, you also have the function of a uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) . Existing mains current is here prioritized . If the mains is switched off,
the inverter automatically switches to battery operation within 16 ms and ensures an
uninterrupted operation of your consumers .
ECO-Mode: With the ECO-Mode from TMI100-series you have the additional func-
tion of a battery priority circuit . When the ECO-Mode is switched on and AC- Power is
available, the battery does not use the AC power and the batteries will not be charged .
(ECO-Mode = Energy-Saving-Mode)
The battery priority function is active as long as the battery voltage is over the certain
“cut off”-battery voltage (voltage values see the chart “safety features” on page 43) .
If this value is deceeded and the shore power is still connected, the inverter returns to
mains priority circuit to avoid battery damages .
