3. INSTALLATION

DANGER:

All wiring should be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure adherence to the applicable electrical safety wiring regulations and installation codes.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and could also result in personal

injury or loss of life.

CAUTION:

Before beginning unit installation, please consider the following:

• The unit should be used or stored in an indoor area away from direct sunlight, heat, moisture or conductive contaminants.

• When placing the unit, allow a minimum of three inches of space around the unit for optimal ventilation.

Preparing for Installation

Before you begin the installation, be sure to review the Important Safety Instruction on page 3 of this manual and be aware of all safety and electrical codes which must be met in your area.

AC Input of the inverter charger can be supplied from either a split-phase or a dual-input AC

Source. See below to understand more about the unit before you start your installation.

Input AC Source from Split-Phase:

The split-phase AC source has 2 lines, 1 neutral and 1 ground. The two 120Vac lines are 180 degree out of phase with each other with a total of 240Vac when measured from line to line. The voltage between each line to neutral is 120Vac.

Input AC Source from Dual Input:

The dual input has 2 line inputs, 1 neutral and 1 ground. The two 120Vac lines are in phase and must come from the same source.

AC Loads:

In Battery-Inverter mode, the unit’s AC Output L1 and L2 lines are connected together to provide

120Vac on both lines.

In Pass-Through mode, the AC source connected to the unit’s AC input is passed through to the

AC Output (load).

DANGER:

Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not connect 240VAC load to the AC Output of the unit.

AC Output Neutral Bonding:

Each AC source must have its neutral conductor bonded to ground.

When the KISAE Inverter-Charger is running in Battery-Inverter mode, the internal neutral-toground bonding system is enabled. The unit will act as an AC source and will automatically connect the AC Output Neutral (N1 & N2) circuit to safety ground.

When the unit is running in Pass-Through mode, the internal neutral-to-ground bonding system is disabled. The unit will not act as an AC source and the AC Output (N1 & N2) to safety ground is disconnected inside the unit. Therefore, the AC Input source that is connected to the Inverter-

Charger should have its own neutral-to-ground connection. If not, have an electrician look into bonding the AC source’s neutral to ground at your AC source.

12V Battery Bank:

• The use of a deep cycle battery is highly recommended for power inverter application.

• For battery size, you need to identify what you wish to operate, and for how long. KISAE recommends that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. See more on Estimated

Run Times in Section 4.

DC Cable:

• All DC cables used require multi-strand insulated cable.

• The DC cables must be copper and must be rated 105°C minimum.

• Based on National Electrical Code, cable size of 4/0 AWG is required for cable length < 5 ft.

Use of smaller gauge cable or longer cable length may cause the inverter to shutdown under heavy load and may also melt the cable insulation and catch fire and can result in death or serious injury.

DC Grounding:

• The chassis of the unit has to be grounded properly.

• For Marine application, the DC grounding cable size may be one size smaller than the minimum size conductor required for the DC current carrying conductors, providing the overcurrent protection device in the DC positive conductor is rated no greater than 135% of the capacity of the DC grounding conductor, and the conductor is no smaller than #16AWG.

• For Recreational Vehicle application, the unit has to be grounded to the vehicle chassis with a minimum #8 AWG copper conductor with either green insulator or bare wire.

Important: The unit is grounded through the ground stud of the unit .

DC Fuse or Over Current Protective Device:

• A DC-rated fuse or a DC-rated over-current protective device connected along the DC positive line is required.

• Based on the National Electrical Code requirement, a fuse or circuit breaker with a minimum of

350 Adc is required.

• Based on the size of your 12V Battery Bank, determine the overall short circuit current rating of the battery bank from the battery manufacturer. The fuse or circuit breaker chosen must be able to withstand the short circuit current that may be generated by the battery bank.

• For Marine application, the over current protective device needs to be installed within 7 inches

(17.8cm) from the battery positive terminals.

DC Disconnect Switch:

• Select a DC Disconnect Switch with the same or higher rating of the selected fuse or over current protective device.

• The DC Disconnect Switch is used to disconnect the DC power between the unit and the battery bank during service, maintenance or trouble shooting.

Main AC Input Panel (wire size and breaker size):

• For Dual AC Input, #6 AWG AC Input wire is required.

• For Split Phase AC Input, #10 AWG AC Input Wire is required for all the AC connections between the AC source and the AC Input port.

• To meet CSA, UL and electrical code requirements and to protect system wiring, the AC input line must be provided with an overcurrent protection device for which a 30A branch circuit breaker is required to connect each AC Line to the unit’s AC Input.

Page 7

 

 

Important: Follow the electrical and/or building code when you connect the unit to any AC source.

Inverter AC Output Panel (wire size and breaker size):

• #10 AWG wire is required for all AC Output connections based on the full 30A pass-through rating between the unit and the AC Inverter AC Panel.

• To meet CSA, UL and electrical code requirements and to protect system wiring, the AC input line must be provided with an overcurrent protection device for which a maximum 30A branch circuit breaker is required to connect each AC Output Line to the unit’s AC Output. If an AC

Output wire of smaller than #10 AWG is used, then the overcurrent protection device will have to be smaller. Follow the electrical and or building code to choose your protection device rating.

Understanding the Charger Functions

Three-Stage Charging:

The Three-Stage Charging algorithm has a Bulk, then Absorption and then Float sequence.

During the Bulk stage, the battery accepts the maximum constant current from the charger. In the Absorption stage, the battery voltage is held to constant voltage and the charging will slowly reduce. In Float stage, the charger continuously produces voltage at a lower level to fully top up the battery and maintain the battery in a fully charged state.

The charger will automatically restart the charging cycle in Bulk stage if the battery is discharged to 12.5V. Also, after seven days, the charger will automatically restart the recharging cycle to refresh the battery.

Battery Type:

Three types of battery setting (GEL, AGM and Flooded) are available. See reference battery charging voltage as shown:

Battery Type Absorption Float Equalization

GEL

AGM

14.4 V

14.3 V

13.8 V

13.45 V

N.A.

N.A.

Flooded 14.4 V

Equalize the Flooded Battery:

13.5 V 16.0 V

For Flooded battery type, equalization mode is available. Use the following procedure to equalize the flooded battery. See also section 5 on setting EQ mode for flooded battery.

DANGER:

Explosion Hazard. The flooded battery generates explosive gases during equalization. Follow all the battery safety precautions listed in the manual.

CAUTION:

Risk of Battery and Equipment damage. Only a Flooded lead-acid battery can

Page 11

 

 

 

  be equalized. Consult your battery manufacturer or read the battery manual when you try to equalize your batteries. Disconnect any DC load connected to the battery, as during equalization mode, the charger will produce 16V to the batteries. You must monitor the battery specific gravity throughout the equalization to determine the end of the equalization cycle.

When EQ mode is set to ON, the unit will charge batteries in one full cycle before it starts to equalize the battery. Check the battery electrolyte level. If necessary, refill with distilled water only. All cells should have similar electrolyte levels. If distilled water is added, batteries must undergo a complete charge cycle. The charger cannot determine when to terminate the equalization of the battery. A 1 hour time-out is intended as a safety feature to terminate the equalizing process. You can re-activate the EQ mode by setting it ON again as necessary after checking batteries manually.

Optional Battery Temperature Sensor Feature:

Optional Battery Temperature Sensor KISAE Part Number #BTS-10K is highly recommended to be used with the charger to protect your battery and provide better charging voltage accuracy.

The battery temperature sensor senses the battery temperature and makes adjustments to the charging voltage.
