INTRODUCTION

The MASS SINE inverter is a fully automatic high ef-
ficiency inverter, developed and produced by Mas-
tervolt Amsterdam. The MASS SINE inverter is part
of a series of advanced quality battery chargers and
inverters supplied by Mastervolt all over the world.
The MASS SINE inverter converts DC voltage to
230V AC, 50 Hz. The output voltage of 230V AC has
a sinusoïdal waveform for reliable and trouble free
operation of connected equipment. The inverter is
protected against overload, short circuit and over
temperature. In case of overload, the inverter will re-
duce its output power. The MASS SINE inverter has
a very high efficiency of 87%, due to the application
of mosfets with high frequency switching technology.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Switching on:
Put the on/off/remote switch on the front of the
inverter on " on". The green lamp "inverter on" lights
up, and the inverter will start. If you use a remote
control panel, put the on/off/remote switch to 're-
mote', and put the on/off switch on the remote control
panel to 'on'.
Switching off:
Put the on/off/remote switch on the front of the
inverter on " off". The inverter stops and all the lights
that are on, go off.
Careful !
Switching off the inverter with the switch on
the front does not break the connection to
the mains. The inverter remains connected
to the mains.

INDICATOR LIGHTS

The functions of the indicator lights on the front are:
inverter on:
overload:
overload + on slow:
overload + on fast:
low battery:
temperature:
Short description:
"inverter on"
The green light shows when the inverter is switched
on.
"overload"
Glows if the inverter is overloaded. When the inverter
is overloaded, the power limit reduces the output vol-
tage. Depending on the load, the inverter will shut
down after a short period.
"overload" + "on"
When the inverter is in a state of overload for a long
period of time the inverter will switch off and the
overload + on indicators will flash slowly. This takes
approx. 20 seconds after which the inverter automa-
tically will restart. This so called wait state gives the
inverter time to recover from any heavy surge loads
and the battery time to recover in case of an empty
battery. When the inverter is switched of 10 times
with intervals no more than 30 seconds apart the
inverter will switch off permanently and the 'overload'
and 'on' indicators will flash fast. To switch the inver-
ter on again, you must manually switch the inverter
off and on. When the output is short circuited, the
inverter will go into overload. The 'overload' and 'on'
indicators will flash slowly. The inverter will try to start
up ten times. If the short circuit is not removed, the
inverter will switch off permanently.
