B.1 Special Precautions  
While working on batteries there should always be a second person close to you or  
within your voice range, in case help is needed.  
Plenty of fresh water and soap must be ready at hand so that in case of acid  
coming in contact with skin, eyes and clothes, the areas in question can be  
thoroughly washed.  
If acid enters the eyes, you must thoroughly wash the eyes with cold running water  
for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended that you immediately consult a medical  
doctor.  
Baking powder neutralizes battery acid electrolyte. Always keep some at hand.  
Special care must be taken when working with metal tools near or on the batteries.  
With tools such as screwdrivers, spanners etc. short-circuits can result. Sparks  
produced by the short-circuit can cause an explosion.  
When working on batteries all personal metal items such as rings, necklaces and  
bracelets must be removed. Batteries are so powerful that short-circuit with these  
items can melt them and thus cause severe burns. Always follow the battery  
manufacturers instructions.

AC Load  
C.1.1 The Inverter  
The sinewave-inverter section of your Combi generates a sinewave AC voltage  
with an exceptionally precise voltage and stabilized frequency, In order to start  
large electric motors, the user has the possibility to employ a short-start-power  
which is 3-times the nominal power of the Combi  
The inverter is protected against overload and short-circuit. A power-stage with the  
latest MOS-FET power transistors, a toroidal transformer, and a fast regulating  
system make-up a robust and reliable inverter with very high efficiency. A load  
detection system serves to provide the smallest energy consumption and ensures a  
long life for the battery.  
C.1.2 The Bypass switch  
This unit can be connected to an AC input source. For example a stand-by motor  
generator or the AC grid, such as shore power or a caravan park. With the  
transfer system, on one side you have AC voltage which is used to run the load,  
on the other side the batteries are being charged. The distribution of energy  
between the AC loads and battery charger is automatic.  
-5-  
C.1.3 The Battery charger  
The built-in battery charger is capable of charging the batteries quickly and  
completely. A microprocessor controlled, 3 to 4 Step charging process ensures  
the optimum charging of the batteries. The desired charging current can be set.  
The battery charger can be used for lead-acid or gel batteries. Thanks to the  
floating charge ability of this unit, the batteries can remain continuously connected.  
C.1.4 The solar charge regulator (opetional)  
With the built-in solar regulator, the unit is a complete solar-power-center. In a  
solar installation this regulator ensures that the batteries are charged correctly.  
With the unit, batteries can be charged with a generator and with the solar  
modules at the same time. The charging of batteries with both energy sources is  
carried out fully automatically.  
C.1.5 Remote control  
As an option, a remote control can be connected to this unit. The  
remote control is supplied with a 3m long cable. This cable can be up to 15m long.  
(RS-485 interface) On the remote control output current and charging current are  
also shown.  
C.2 Battery connections  
Lead-acid batteries are normally available in blocks of 2V, 6V or 12V. In most  
cases, to generate the necessary operating voltage and the capacity of the  
batteries for the unit many batteries have to be connected together in parallel  
and or in series. Following three examples are shown:

D.3 Cabling / wiring  
When making connections to the unit you must ensure that all connections  
are carried out in a clean and correct manner and under no circumstances that a  
cable is connected to a wrong terminal.  
Connecting the unit must be carried out in the following order.  
D.3.1 Connection to battery  
Prepare the batteries for connection. Prepare battery cables, if necessary press  
on cable tabs/shoes. Connect the red cable to the Battery positive fuse/circuit  
breaker and the black cable to battery Minus (-) Take care when connecting the  
second cable to the battery, as a spark is produced, this is caused for a short time  
due to high current flowing in the unit to charge the capacitors. This is another  
reason to install a battery fuse/circuit breaker. For this reason follow strictly the  
safety measures described in this manual.  
DO NOT INSERT THE BATTERY FUSE AT THIS STAGE.  
D.3.2 Connection to the AC OUTPUT.  
The AC output must be connected to the screw terminal AC OUTPUT. For this,  
use a 3-core cable with a conductor cross section of 2,5mm². Connections are  
marked as follows “OUT / N”=Neutral, “GND”=Earth, “OUT / L”=Live or Active.  
Caution: High voltage can be at the AC output, ensure the unit is not  
connected when making AC connections.  
D.3.3 Connection to the AC INPUT  
The AC input supply from the electricity grid or from a generator must be  
connected to the screw terminals AC INPUT. For this use a 3-core cable with a  
conductor cross section of 2,5mm². Connections are marked as follows  
“IN / N”=Neutral, “GND”=Earth, “IN / L”=Live or Active.  
-10-  
D.3.4 Connect the Solar modules: SOLAR IN +/-  
Solar modules are connected on these terminals. Under no circumstances should  
any other energy source i.e. wind generator be connected to these terminals.  
Depending on the power of the modules, the cable cross section should be 2.5 up  
to 6mm². Before connecting it is necessary to check with a Voltmeter that the  
voltage of the Module meets the following values:  
Invertek DAI -1500C -12xx / DAI - 3000C -12xx 17-25V / 30A  
Invertek DAI -1500C -24xx / DAI - 3000C - 24xx 34-45V / 30A.

System Adjustments  
To adjust any of the unit’s preset parameters (factory/default settings are highlighted in dark blue in each function box) the unit must be in STOP mode! Select the  
function you wish to change from the list of light blue boxes below. Select the parameter in the box you wish to change. For example, if you wish to switch the power saver  
function off, you find that the power saver function is attached to Fn02 (function 2) and that selection 2 means “off”. To select this desired option go to the main key pad on the  
front of the unit. Push the pad marked FUNC (function) for 2 seconds and use up/down keys to scroll through the functions. (The display will show Fn00 up to Fn09.) Stop at  
the function you require. (For power saver stop at Fn02.) With Fn02 on the screen push ENT (”enter”) on the keypad and use the up/down arrows to select the parameter  
required. The display will show from 00 to 06 (depending on which parameter you wish to change). Then select the parameter number you wish (in this case the power saver  
off function which is 2), by using the up/down keys and push the ENT key to enter that selection. After the selection has been made the display will show End and this will  
complete the parameter change. Then press DSPL to return to the function heading (one level upwards). Either continue to adjusting the next function or press DSPL again to  
return to the voltage display mode. The unit will also automatically return to the voltage display after about 20 seconds if left alone. Don’t forget to return to RUN mode!

E.7.1 The Inverter  
The Inverter section of the unit produces a high quality Sinewave output, the  
quality of this output is compatible with any appliance, Thanks to the generous  
dimensioning of the unit , you can operate appliances requiring higher power  
than the nominal power of the unit for a short time. The unit provide up to  
3-times the nominal power to start motors etc.  
E.7.2 Power saving function (Fn02)  
In order to avoid unnecessary discharge of the battery, the inverter switches OFF  
automatically if no AC power is being used. The unit switches ON  
automatically again if an AC load is switched ON. The AC Out LED blinks if the  
inverter is in “Power Saving-Mode”.  
If the “Power Saving-Mode” is not wanted, set the Fn02 "DISABLE" function.  
This will keep the unit running continuously, but will also discharge your  
batteries quicker.  
E.7.3 Overload  
If the unit is overloaded for too long or too heavily, it switches off. The  
“Multi-display” will show “  
” and the “RUN/STOP” LED will RED Blink. After  
approximately 10 seconds the Inverter switches on automatically. If the unit is  
overloaded four times in quick succession, then it no longer switches back on  
automatically. The “RUN/STOP” LED remains lit, and the multi-display show “  
Press the push button 1(PB1) ”RUN/STOP” in order to switch the unit back ON.  
”.  
E.7.4 Overheating (Over Temp)  
If the Inverter has been overload for a long time or it has been working in a high  
ambient temperature, it will switch OFF. The “Multi-display” will show “  
” and  
the “RUN/STOP”LED RED blinks. After cooling down, the inverter switches back on  
automatically. One minute before the inverter switches off due to high temperature  
a buzzer will be heard. If the Auxiliary Contact has been programmed for “Over  
Temp” then the contact will be active when the buzzer sounds. This could be used  
for example to start an emergency back up generator, creating a no break energy  
supply.  
-16-  
E.7.5 Battery Condition  
Deep discharging of batteries leads to high losses in capacity and early aging.  
That is why the unit will constantly monitor the battery condition. When battery  
voltage gets too low the Invertek switches OFF. The multi-display will show  
” or ”  
” (Low voltage cut out P-12) the “RUN/STOP” LED RED blinks.  
When the battery voltage returns to 12.1V resp..24.2V, the inverter switches ON  
automatically. One minute before the Inverter switches OFF due to low voltage a  
buzzer will be heard.  
The low voltage is set to 11.8V resp. 23.6V. These settings are standard for  
most batteries. The voltage levels are maintained by the built-in  
Battery-Management-System of the Invertek which looks at the load and battery  
condition and adjusts to suit.  
This setting is comparable with the levels of 10.8V resp. 21.6V, which are given  
for most batteries on nominal load.

useful for specific applications which are required to disable some of these three  
functions. If you press the “FUNC” button for more than 2 seconds you can  
have access to the different possibilities shown in the following diagram,.  
In programming mode the display only shows the different types of program with  
the “Charger”, Transfer” and “Inverter” functions. To change the type of  
programming press the “or ” button until the LED corresponding to the  
desired function is lit, in to the table below, After 10 seconds or press “DSPL”  
button the Invertek will exit the programming mode and function with the new  
programming,. In normal user mode, the disabled functions are displayed by a  
orange blinking LED.

G. Charger Information  
G.1.1 Charging Cycle  
The fully automatic battery charger can be adjusted so that most major battery  
types can be charged to the maximum,  
As soon as the minimum AC voltage is available at the AC input (“AC IN” LED is  
lit),the Battery Charger is switched on automatically (“CHARGER” LED is lit). The  
battery is automatically charged to match the pre adjusted voltage levels and  
charge current. Thanks to the sophisticated and intelligent Floating Charge  
System, the batteries can be left in charge mode for unlimited time.  
During the charging cycle, the AC loads are continually supplied with power from  
the incoming AC voltage source. (“AC OUT” LED is lit).  
G.1.3 Input current repartition (Power sharing Fn06)  
To manage the power available on the AC INPUT the unit is equipped with a  
system usually called “Power sharing” or INPUT power distribution. With this  
feature it is possible to limit the AC INPUT current assigned to the charger. The  
more current used by the AC load, the less power is given to the charger. Priority  
for the AC Loads. When power sharing is used the red 200% LED on the power  
monitor is lit to show that the battery charging is being limited.  
G.1.4 Set the charging current (Fn07):  
The maximum charging current or the battery can be adjusted by function Fn07.  
The charging current should be set to approximately 10-15% of the battery  
capacity (at C10). This means that the charging current for a battery with 300Ah  
should be set between 30-45A. The charging current is displayed on the  
“multi-display” or “CURRENT MONITOR” on the front panel  
G.1.5 Battery Condition:  
The built in microprocessor features a specially developed algorithm (formulae)  
which calculates the actual state of charge (SOC) of the battery and displays it on  
LED-8. The Equalize LED-7 is lit when the system is performing an equalization  
charge. The SOC displayed should be used as a guide only, for batteries which  
are not sealed, use a hydrometer to determine the exact SOC.  
For safety reasons:  
Make sure that the setting of the charger matches your battery type! The correct  
charging levels are critical for safe functioning and long life of the battery.  
-20-  
G.2 The Transfer system  
When an AC voltage is present at the AC IN of the unit , the “AC IN” LED is lit.  
When this voltage matches the Parameter P-06 value set, and the frequency is  
between 44Hz and 65Hz, then this power is transferred directly to the AC load and  
the battery charger section . The “TRANSFER” LED is lit to indicate  
this has happened. The inverter is then switched off and the battery charger  
switched on. This process is automatic and should not be noticed by the load, at  
worst a slight flicker may be seen in lights.  
The maximum current of the Bypass switch is 60A (CUxx3500) resp.  
30A (CUxx1700). That means through this system AC loads of up to a  
maximum of 7000 W (CUxx3500) or 3500W (CUxx1700) can be operated.  
When the Battery Charger is working, part of this power is used for the charging  
according to the power sharing settings.  
The Transfer system is protected against overload with an automatic breaker  
on the AC Input side of the unit . If the system has been overloaded  
the Input breaker will pop-out. To put the automatic safety system back in  
to operating you must push this breaker for reset.  
Note: In inverter operation the unit generates a pure sinewave and quartz  
stabilized output voltage. However, when the unit is transferring power from  
the grid or a generator the voltage and quality of the power running the AC load  
will be the same as that coming from the grid or generator. The unit cannot  
modify the incoming AC supply.  
G.3 The solar charge regulator  
The unit has a built-in solar charge regulator. To charge the batteries  
solar modules can be connected to the terminal SOLAR IN +/-. The  
built-in regulator is a shunt regulator with a maximum input current of 30A for all  
series products. The operating voltage of solar modules to be connected must  
match the actual operating voltage of the unit and never exceed the max. rated  
value.  
Under no circumstances should any other charging sources such as a  
wind-generator be connected at the input of the solar charge regulator.  
The Solar Charge Regulator works automatically and is always in operation. As  
soon as the energy is delivered from the solar charge regulator, the “SOLAR  
CHARGE” LED is lit and the batteries are being charged, The solar charge  
regulator works even when the battery charger is functioning. The method of  
operation is a 3 or 4 step charging process, the same as the battery charger. The  
function is described in the section on battery charger. The programming and the  
adjustments are carried out in accordance with the section on battery charger.  
The programming and the adjustments are carried out in accordance with the  
same conditions. Check with your battery supplier which adjustments must be  
carried out for your battery.

I. Auxiliary Contacts  
In the unit there are two built-in programmable power relays (AUX1, AUX2). The  
potential-free change-over contact of this power relay is connected to the screw  
terminals (AUX1 NO-NC-COM, AUX2 NO-NC-COM)  
Maximum Contact load: -230Vac / 5Amp-30Vdc/7Amp  
In the factory we program this output to be active when one these situations are  
detected:  
Over temperature  
Overload  
Over or under voltage of batteries

J. The Remote control unit  
As an option, a Remote control unit can be connected to the unit . All operating  
controls and displays are available on the Remote control unit, The Remote control  
is supplied with a 3m long cable. It can be lengthened to 15m The Remote control  
is suitable for surface mounting on the wall or on to a switch board. It is fixed with 2  
screws. The unit can also be programmed with the Remote control. The output  
currents and the charging currents are displayed on the Remote control.  
J.1 The Temperature sensor  
Charging voltages of lead-acid batteries can change depending on temperature.  
To correct the operating voltages according to the actual temperatures, a  
temperature sensor can be connected to the unit .  
The compensation through the sensor is -3mv//Cell.

L. Programming Aux Contacts (AUX1, AUX2)  
L.1.1 Principle  
The Auxiliary unit can be basically programmed for any operating situation of  
the unit which is indicated with a LED. The programming is possible for one or  
more operating situations. If the contact is programmed for many situations, it is  
activated as soon as the unit finds itself in any one of the programmed  
situations.  
L.1.2 Example  
L.1.2.1 Auxiliary contact as generator starter  
When in the programming of the Auxiliary Contact, the State of Charge (SOC)  
LED`s (LED 8) can be used as a condition, then you must take note of the  
following requirements.  
If you have to start an emergency back-up supply with a battery having a certain  
SOC, then two SOC levels must be programmed. The first (i.e. Battery 25% LED)  
for the starting or activating the Auxiliary Contact and the second (i.e. Battery  
100% LED ) for stopping or deactivating the Auxiliary Contact. By programming  
in this way the Auxiliary Contact starts with the lowest set condition and stops  
when it has reached the highest programmed condition through charging.  
L.1.2.2 Auxiliary Contact as Twilight Switch (With solar charger option)  
The Auxiliary Contact can also be used as a twilight switch , i.e. for  
automatically operating exterior lighting. Solar modules connected to the unit  
will measure the light intensity. If the unit is operating without solar modules  
and a twilight-switching function is desired, you can connect small solar cells with  
the nominal voltage of the unit to the SOLAR terminals for the purpose of  
measuring the light intensity. To function as a twilight-switch the Auxiliary Contact  
must be programmed so that the condition “SOLAR CHARGE” LED is active.  
Programming must be carried out in steps and in accordance with the description  
for the programming of the Auxiliary Contact.  
L.1.3.3 Manual operating of Auxiliary Contact:  
The Auxiliary Contact can be operated manually at any time by pressing the  
) to indicate that the  
Contact is manually operated. By pushing the “AUX CONTACT” button again ,the  
“AUX” button. The “Multi-display show  
(
(
). By pushing it a third time,  
Contact is deactivated. Multi-display show  
automatic functions are restored and Multi-display show

M. Maintenance  
Periodic maintenance is important to avoid potential problems. Every six months  
disconnect all power in and out from the system. Thoroughly clean and check all  
battery connections within the battery bank and to the unit . Ensure all  
connections to the unit are tight. Ensure the vents at the top and bottom of the  
unit are clear of any debris, such as mud wasps, severe dust build ups etc.  
Other than this, you should enjoy years of trouble free operation form your  
unit.
