General Safety Instructions; Proper Use - HQ -PURE120-12 Anleitung

General safety instructions

• Use the device only as intended.
• Do not operate the device in a damp or wet environment.
• Do not operate the device in areas that are potentially explosive.
• Maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with
the risks involved and the relevant regulations
Safety when installing the device
• Ensure that the device has a firm foundation. The device must be set up and fastened in such a
way that it cannot tip over or fall down.
• Take the precautions necessary to ensure that children cannot interfere with operation. Dangerous
situations may occur which cannot be recognized by children!
• Do not expose the device to a heat source (such as direct sunlight or heating). Avoid additional
heating of the device in this way.
For installation on boats
• If electrical devices are incorrectly installed on boats, corrosion damage might occur. Have the
inverter installed by a specialist.
Electrical cables
• If cables have to be fed through metal walls or other walls with sharp edges, use ducts or wire
bushings to prevent damage to the cable.
• Do not lay cables which are loose or bent next to electrically conductive material (metal).
• Do not pull on the cables.
• Do not lay the 230 V mains cable and the 12/24 V DC cable in the same duct.
• Fasten the cables well.
• Lay the cables so that they cannot be tripped over or damaged.
• Operate the device only if you are certain that the housing and the cables are undamaged.
• Make sure the air inlets and outlets of the device are not covered.
• Ensure a good ventilation.
• Do not connect the 230 V output of the inverter to a different 230 V source.
• Even after the fuse triggers, parts of the inverter remain live.
• Always disconnect the power supply when working on the device.

Proper use

The pure sine wave inverters convert 12 V or 24 V direct current to a 230 V alternating current at a
frequency of 50 Hz.
Warning!
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires can damage the inverter. Do not use the inverter with
electrical systems using positive ground.
With its low weight and compact design the inverter can be easily installed into camping mobiles,
commercial vehicles or motor and sailing yachts.
The output voltage corresponds to the socket standard (pure sinus-voltage)
Please observe the values for constant output power and peak output power (for a maximum of 10
minutes) as indicated in the "Technical data" section.
Never connect devices that have a higher power requirement.
Note
Note when connecting devices with an electrical drive (such as power drills and refrigerators), that they
often need more power than is stated on the type plate.
