INVERTER
A Newmar model 12-3550ICIP inverter shall be provided on vehicle that provides 3,000 continuous watts, 140 A
capability, 120 VAC, 60 cycle output from 12 VDC. Inverter shall have a full function remote monitor/control panel.
An innovative new series of Inverter-Chargers called “Intelligence Plus” because of their multi-function capability to
produce supplemental power for peak loads when running shore and generator sources and can limit its own AC power
consumption when charging batteries, preventing AC system overloads. Integrated with a programmable smart 3-step
high power charger, temperature compensation, alarms and other diagnostics, it has intelligence plus heavy duty
electrical and mechanical design standards for high performance and survival in the rugged mobile environment.
The alternator and/or battery system shall be adequate to provide power for continuous operation for a minimum of 2
hours at full output.
Features;
• Heavy Duty Grade design and construction
• Pure sine “Perfect Wave” output runs sensitive electronics
• High surge ratings for motor starting
• Programmable input and output to match user profile and power availability
• High amperage three stage charger recovers batteries quickly
• Fast Transfer from stand by to full power status provides AC back up as UPS
• Supplements shore or generator power for peak loads
• Digital display on unit and remote provides easy monitoring
• Versatile bulk head or horizontal mounting options
• Rated for continuous output to 70°C
• Produces true sine wave, with excellent voltage regulation, and frequency stabilization
• Programmable to supplement shore and generator sources for peak load sharing
• High surge current capability for motor starting
Battery Charging;
• High Amperage temperature compensated, 3 step charger for main and auxiliary battery banks
• Programmable voltage and timer settings for virtually any battery type
• Programmable input current limit prevents overload of AC input source when charging dead batteries.
INVERTER BATTERY SUPPLY
There shall be three (3) deep cycle batteries provided as the 12volt power source for the onboard inverter. The batteries
shall incorporate Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology for efficient gas recombination of up to 99% and freedom from
electrolyte maintenance. The batteries shall be mounted in a stainless steel pan with hold down provisions for mobile
application.
INVERTER BATTERY SUPPLY - VSR
There shall be one (1) Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR) provided with the deep cycle batteries. The VSR allows two
batteries to be charged at the same time. When the engine is started and the start battery reaches 13.7 volts, the VSR
engages, allowing two battery banks (start and inverter supply) to be charged simultaneously. When the voltage drops
below 12.8 volts (e.g. the engine is stopped), the VSR disengages, separating the batteries. This system eliminates the
possibility of draining the wrong battery and protects sensitive electronic equipment powered from the house battery from
harmful engine start up spikes.
