| CONGRATULATION! Now
you are proud owner of INSTA-POWER INVERTER (IPI). This fully automatic
electronic generator system when suitable connected to a specified
storage battery, provides you instant power on the disruption of “Mains
or regular” electric supply. This manual contains data and information
for safe handling, installation, operation and maintenance of your
IPI. Please retain it for future reference. |
 |
| IPI is basically a
converter system. It inverts 12V DC (or as may be specified) to 230V.
50Hz AC which is normally needed for all the domestic electrical loads.
When power from MAINS is present, it converts the same to 12V DC (or
as may be specified) for charging the batteries. The system bas built
in intelligence to understand which of the above tow functions to
be performed and when. The change overt is smooth and in normal operational
conditions goes unnoticed. In other words, It is an ecofriendly, noiseless,
automatic, electrical generator. |

Overcharging of the battery |
| 3. |
Deep discharge of the battery |
|
 |
 |
| When MAINS or regular
power is available, IPI charges the battery and also routes the mains
to connected load. In such an event, it does not condition the mains
to the connected load. However for its internal use i.e. for charging
the batteries, it consumes some Power. It exercises great control
on the mains voltage and even for 170 to 280V wide range, it charges
the battery with trickle cum boost charging method |
| Batteries are charged
up to 13.5V ± 2%, after which IPI provides trickle current
to maintain its present level of charge. |
 |
|
| When mains power fails
or falls below 50V(appx.) the system automatically enters the inversion
mode, It generates and maintains constant output voltage and provides
power to connected load. If connected load is more than the rated
capacity of the inverter, the system trips off and indicates TRIP.
On reduction of the load, the system will restart automatically. |

 |
1. |
Refer the system wiring diagram. |
2. |
Decide a suitable place for the unit. The place
should be well ventilated, easily accessible but not obstructing. |
3. |
Whenever you get some repairs done on the main
switch board or the pole, please reconfirm that the phase is
still on the right hand side of the socket. |
4 |
Ensure an electric point ( a socket and a switch)near
the unit. |
.5. |
Isolate the load to be connected from main wiring
by cutting off the phase (Neutral remains the same). |
6. |
Connect the isolated load to the output of the
unit. |
7. |
Keep the A.C socket switch and inverter switch
OFF. |
8. |
Make the battery connection through the lead provided
with the unit. Please make sure that the red lead is connected
with (+) and black lead with (-) terminal of the battery. |
9. |
Insert the plug top of the unit in to the well
socket and put the switch ON. |
10. |
Now switch ON the load. If Mains or regular supply
is present, your load should be activated. If not, check the
fuse on the read side of the system. If it is alright, recheck
for the wiring fault. |
11. |
Pl. also make sure that the earthing of your electrical
system is proper. |
12. |
Check for the proper functioning of the inversion
mode. |
|
a. |
Switch OFF the entire connected load and put on
the Inverter switch ON, located on the front panel. |
b. |
Cut OFF the mains by putting OFF the mains
switch. Inverter ON Indication should come on. |
c. |
Start switching ON the connected loads one
by one, when the load on unit exceeds the rated capacity, system
should indicate TRIP, in this condition all the loads would
be automatically put OFF by the system. The system will restart
automatically as soon as it is again put on the rated load. |
13. |
On the front panel, there is an inverter switch
to disable inversion mode operation. When this switch is in
OFF position, the system will charge the battery as usual, but
on MAINS failure, the Inverter will remain OFF. It is recommended
to keep the switch in ON condition and put it OFF only when
you are going out of station for a long period. |
|
 |
 |
| To make the optimum
use of your INSTA POWERTM INVERTER, we request you
to note following points; |
1. |
The Inverter should not be overloaded; it should
be operated on rated load. The overloading of the Inverter will
be harmful for it. |
2. |
The Inverter should not be overloaded; it should be operated
on rated load. The overloading of the Inverter will be harmful
for it. |
3. |
The unit should be kept away from heat and fire. |
4. |
If a fan connected to inverter is not running or making noise,
the condenser of the fan should be replaced otherwise it will
damage the unit. |
5. |
The distill water level of the battery should be maintained.
The dry running of the battery will shorten its life. |
6. |
The battery should be kept on a wooden or plastic plank. |
7. |
The battery terminals should be cleaned periodically and grease
and vaseline should be applied on it to avoid scaling. This
will enable battery to give maximum output. |
8. |
The earthing of the installation should be proper. |
|
 |
 |
1. |
Inverter is not giving output |
|
a. |
Check whether load switch located on the front
panel is ON or not ? |
|
b. |
Check whether inverter switch is ON or not? (Both the switches
should be ON) |
|
c. |
Check the inverter fuses on the rear side. If the fuse is
blown, insert the extra fuse, given with the unit. Pl. see that
the fuse is tightened properly. Before putting inverter ON again,
pl. check that appliances like geyser, air-cooler, press (iron)
are not in the inverter circuit. |
2. |
Inverter alarm is on continuously |
|
a. |
The battery has been discharged completely. Pl. put OFF the
Inverter switch, and let the battery get charged completely. |
|
b. |
The distill water level in battery is not up to the required
level, pl. fill it with up to required level or call your battery
mechanic. |
|
c. |
The main terminals of the battery are loose. Pl. tight the
terminals properly. |
|
d. |
The battery is not getting required voltage for charging from
MAINS supply. Pl. check your voltage and if it is below 170V,
install a stabilizer to give a voltage between 200 to 245 V. |
|
e. |
Call your battery mechanic to check the battery. |
3. |
The inverter is showing TRIP again and again |
| |
a. |
Pl. remove the appliances like fridge, geyser, air cooler
etc. from inverter circuit. |
|
b. |
Pl. tight the battery terminal. |
|
c. |
Pl. see that battery is fully charged. |
|
d. |
The load connected is more than it’s capacity. Pl. switch
OFF the additional load from the circuit. |
4. |
The Inverter remains ON, even if the mains or
regular supply is present. |
|
a. |
Pl. check the Inverter fuse |
|
b. |
Pl. check the mains fuse. |
|
c. |
Check that three pin plug switch is ON. |
5. |
In Inverter mode Click-Click sound comes and no
power output is present. |
|
a. |
The battery is loosely connected. Check battery terminals
and clean them if they are dirty. |
|
b. |
Check there neutral of the supply. |
6. |
After checking all the above points, if the Inverter
is still not giving the output Pl. remove the Inverter form
the circuit. (Pl. refer the following diagram) |
