Read these instructions before you start with the commissioning of the inverter. Failure
in observing these warnings may result in injuries to persons or damage to materials.

General safety and installation instructions

Warning! The following fundamental safety
measures must be observed when using
electrical equipment to avoid danger of:

- electric shocks 
- danger of fire
- injuries

observe:

About the unit itself

- Do not connect the 230 volts output from the

inverter with another 230 volts source. 

- The inverter must only be used for the purpose

specified by the manufacturer!

- When working on the inverter, always

disconnect it from the mains!

- Even after triggering the safety device (fuse),

parts of the inverter still carry voltage! 

- Do not operate the inverter if the housing or

cables are damaged!

- Maintenance and repair must only be carried

out by 

a qualified specialist

who is familiar

with the dangers involved and aware of the
relevant regulations!

- The inverter must not be exposed to heat

sources (solar radiation, heating etc.) for to
avoid additional heating-up.

- The inverter must be kept in a safe place out of

the reach of children!

- Air inlet and outlets must not be covered.

- Ensure proper ventilation!

- The inverter may not be operated in a damp or

wet environment!

- The inverter must be positioned and secured

safely in order to avoid it being knocked over or
it falling down!

Caution when installing on boats!

- Wrong installation of electrical units on boats

will lead to corrosion of the boat. Therefore,
please let a (boat) electrician carry out the
installation of the inverter. 

Electrical wires:

- If cables have to be led through metal walls or

other sharp-edged walls, use a cable duct or
cable bushes!

- Do not lay cables loose or in sharp bends on

electricity conducting materials (metal)!

- Do not pull on cables!

- Do not lay 230 V mains cable and 12/24 V DC

cable together into the same cable conduit
(cable duct)!

- Secure cables properly!

- When laying the cable, make sure there is no

danger of tripping over and of the cable being
damaged!

Intended use of the inverter

The inverter can be operated everywhere that a 12 V DC cigarette lighter mains socket (for 815-
012PP) or a 24 V DC connection (for 815-024PP) is present. An increase in heat can develop at some
units due to the non-sine-shaped voltage. The maximum continuous rating amounts to 140 watts at
the inverters 815-012PP and 815-024PP 

.

Units with a higher power demand must not be connected. 

Reference!

It must be observed when installing units with electrical drive (e.g. power drill, refrigerator

etc.) that they often need higher capacity than indicated on the type plate.
