Info

A True Sinewave Inverter produces the same or better energy than a grid power supply. Drawing its power from a battery there are no spikes or surges. This increases the lifespan of many appliances, computer screens (CRT), lights and other sensitive electrical devices.

Safety

All Latronics® Inverters have an isolation rating of 3500V between AC and DC via the toroidal transformer, which ensures extremely safe and risk free operation. All the switching electronics and control circuitry are on the DC input. The inverter AC output is connected directly to the transformer output winding.
Latronics® Inverters have the AC output (active and neutral) floating with respect to the DC and the earth. The earth connection is connected to the case only. This configuration provides the highest safety and the most flexibility for installation wiring.

 
Features

Automatic Reset When the inverter is operating unattended it may be necessary to ensure the continuity of supply. The Automatic Reset feature (when enabled), will attempt to restart the inverter every eight minutes should a fault condition cause the inverter to shutdown. This feature can be turned ON or OFF, depending on system requirements.

50/60Hz The Inverter Output Frequency is switchable between 50Hz and 60Hz.

Instantaneous Undervolts To protect your battery from excessive discharges, the inverter will disconnect if the battery voltage falls below 75% of the nominal battery voltage. When starting a big load on a small battery, the inverter might shut down in undervolts. To eliminate this, the instantaneous undervolts can be disabled.

High Performance Latronics® Inverters offer a high surge rating to endure the starting of the most demanding appliances. They also have a generous half hour rating to enable the operation of larger loads for short periods.

Reliability Innovative microprocessor monitoring ensures your Inverter is fully protected against overload, AC short circuit and overtemperature. High and low DC voltage shutdowns offer further protection for your batteries, allowing trouble free operation.

Autostart Sophisticated sensing circuitry automatically switches the inverter ON and OFF with applied appliances. The Autostart is an important feature as it maximises valuable battery capacity. Sensitivity of the Autostart can be easily adjusted to either start small appliances or run continuously.

Durable Construction Latronics® Inverters are a quality industrial product made to withstand vibration and constant movement in mobile or marine installations, as well as the diverse range of home or commercial applications.

Corrosion Conscious Design Latronics® Inverters are built for extreme environments using a recyclable powdercoated aluminium casing, a more noble metal than steel.

Operation Modes Latronics® Inverters mode of operation is continuously displayed on the front panel  by the four LED indicators. On/Standby, Overtemp/Overload, Overvolts and Undervolts.

Mounting Brackets [Option] In many mobile, marine, or industrial applications the inverter may need to be fixed securely into position. Ready made mounting brackets are available for wall mount or 19" rack mount.

Warranty Latronics® standalone inverters come with a three year warranty.

Options

Mounting Brackets  Latronics Inverters can be provided with mounting brackets. These Brackets can be fitted at any time to all Inverters. They are suitable for 19" rack mount, top mount, or base mount (see bottom of page for images).

Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker  For installations where Earth Leakage Protection is required the Inverter can be fitted with a special Power Outlet which includes a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Other AC Output and DC Input Voltages  As an alternative to 240 V AC 50 Hz, the output can be 110 V AC 60 Hz, 110V AC 50 HZ or 220V AC 50HZ. DC Input voltages are available in a range from 12V DC to 125V DC.

Changing DC Input Window  For systems with high battery voltage fluctuations, the DC Input Window can be adjusted or increased to suit requirements.

2kV Isolation  2kv RMS for 1 minute – special industrial requirement.

Single GPO (European, American, Japanese)

Refer to picture at right for example.

Extended Battery Leads  Due to the very high currents flowing any increase in length will affect the efficiency of the Inverter. In applications, like boats, where it might not be practical to have the Inverter next to the batteries the length should not exceed 3 meters. Although this option is available it is not recommended.

Changeover Relay (extra j-box included)  When fitted with this option the AC output is switched between mains AC and Inverter AC. An auxiliary AC source can be connected to the mains input junction box on the rear of the inverter. While this AC source is present, it will be connected to the AC output junction box on the rear and the power outlet on the front. Should the auxiliary AC source fail, the changeover switch automatically diverts the Inverter's AC source to the AC output junction box on the rear and power outlet on the front.

Alarm Contact Output (extra j-box included)  The alarm output is provided by a relay contact. Wiring is via fixed terminals located in the junction box marked "Alarm Output" on the rear of the inverter. The relay contact changes state when the inverter's AC output is not present.
