4.5 Mipangilio ya Kubadilisha DIP
The inverter features DIP switches for configuring output frequency and voltage. Refer to the specifications table (Section 7) or the product label for specific settings. Ensure the inverter is powered off before adjusting DIP switches.
- Masafa ya Kutoa: Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz based on your regional requirements.
- Pato Voltage: Chagua kiasi cha pato cha AC unachotakatage (e.g., 230VAC for this model).
5. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji
5.1 Kuwasha / Kuzima
After all connections are secure and verified, switch the main power button on the inverter to the 'ON' position. The LED indicators will illuminate to show the inverter's status. To power off, switch the button to 'OFF'. A remote control terminal is also available for external ON/OFF control.
5.2 Viashiria vya LED
The 3-color LED indicators provide visual feedback on the inverter's operational status and any potential faults. Consult the product documentation or the specifications table for a detailed explanation of each LED state.
5.3 Njia ya Kuokoa Nguvu
The power saving mode can be adjusted via a variable resistor. This feature helps reduce quiescent current draw when no load or a very light load is connected, conserving battery power.
5.4 Connecting AC Loads
Plug your AC appliances into the inverter's AC output socket. Ensure the total power consumption does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating (2000W for this model). For inductive loads (e.g., motors, refrigerators), consider their surge power requirements, which can be significantly higher than their running power.
6. Matengenezo
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your inverter.
- Kusafisha: Weka inverter safi na isiyo na vumbi. Tumia kitambaa kikavu kufuta sehemu ya nje. Usitumie visafishaji vya kioevu.
- Uingizaji hewa: Periodically check that the cooling fan and ventilation openings are clear of obstructions.
- Viunganisho: Inspect all DC and AC connections regularly to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
