1. FEATURES AND OPERATION-FUNCTIONS
The Combi is a combination of a sine wave inverter and a intelligent battery charger. The unit
has a number of benefits thanks to its dual functionality. The Combi charges batteries, when it
is connected to the fixed 230 VAC grid. When it is disconnected, the sine wave inverter part
converts energy from the battery to 230 VAC. This function is particularly well-suited for
emergency power (UPS). The obvious advantage is of course that it is always possible to
charge and use batteries with one and same unit.

The Combi devices can operate in three modes:
 Inverter mode
Energy is taken from the battery, inverted to 230VAC and delivered at output connector
(grey socket).
 Back up mode
In case of black out of AC public grid, the device will switch over automatically to inverter
function and the connected equipment will still run powered by the battery.
Important: for back up mode, the inverter section must be switched on!
 Charger mode
The charger switch on automatically when a public grid or an AC generator (185-265VAC) is
present at the AC input connector (blue socket). A relay bypasses the supplied AC voltage
to the output (grey socket). At the same time some of the energy (from grid or generator)
goes to recharge the battery bank.
