4. Installation
   

1. PRE-INSTALLATION
   

1.1 Product Applications

Please note that the CPS 1500-1.4k (the inverter, in particular) has been pre-configured to be used for UPS applications. The product is therefore not “solar-ready” but can be reconfigured for such purposes as described in D3. Adding Solar below.

2. Requirements & Limitations
   

Please refer to the data sheets & other technical documents included within this manual to ensure that the product and/or any of its subcomponents are installed correctly. Furthermore, in order to prolong product lifespan & ensure optimal operation the following requirements must be met:

• The electrical input & output applied to the product should not allow for the product or any of its subcomponents to exceed stated performance limitations.
  

• For non-standard application of the product, one or more of the product’s integrated components might have to be reconfigured to ensure compatibility with peripherals.
  

3. Wiring Diagram
   

The simplified wiring diagram below illustrates how the CPS 1500-1.4k’s components have been connected to each other.

2. STANDARD INSTALLATION (UPS APPLICATION)
   

The following procedure describes how to correctly install your CPS 1500-1.4k:

STEP 1	Remove the pre-assembled main unit from the packaging. Also remove the 2 x 10mm rawl bolts included.
STEP 2	Drill 2 x horizontally level holes spaced 67cm apart into a sturdy concrete or brick wall. Use a 10mm concrete drill bit & ensure that each hole is drilled to at least x mm deep. Tip: It is recommended that the holes be drilled so that the inverter’s display panel will end up being more or less “head height” after the unit is installed. Refer to the product layout illustration & actual unit.
STEP 3	Unscrew the bolts from the anchor of each rawl bolt, then insert the anchors into each of the holes. The anchors should fit snugly & flush with the wall surface.

STEP 4

Screw each bolt back into its anchor. Ensure to leave just enough space between the wall and lip of each bolt to allow for the pre-assembled main unit to be hooked over the bolts when hung. A gap of about 3mm should be sufficient.

STEP 5

Check to ensure that all subcomponents on the main unit are secure, then tilt the whole unit upright. With one person on each side of the unit, lift it and hook it over the installed rawl bolts in the wall. Note: Each bolt head should fit into the respective keyhole cut-out at the top of the unit chassis. Do not hang the unit onto the rawl bolts from any other location(s) on the chassis other than the keyhole cut-outs provided.

IMPORTANT: Should you install your CPS 1500-1.4k unit as a UPS application & charge it from one of your wall sockets directly, obtaining a certificate of compliance subsequent to installation is not necessary. Obtaining such a certificate would only be necessary if the unit is connected to charge directly from the distribution panel on the premises.

3. ADDING SOLAR (PV APPLICATION)
   

A solar array can be connected to the CPS 1500-1.4k’s inverter via the integrated distribution panel. Such installations should only be undertaken by qualified industry personnel. Please also ensure that the solar array’s open-circuit voltage does not exceed the maximum specified value (as per inverter data sheet appended to this document).

5. Operating Instructions
   

1. INVERTER
   

Please refer to the inverter manual enclosed within the product packaging.

2. BATTERY DISPLAY PANEL
   

Please refer to the battery display manual enclosed within the product packaging.

6. Emergency & First Aid
   

1. IN CASE OF FIRE
   

1. Evacuate danger zone. Open ventilation in the room if possible.
   
2. Extinguish fire with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
   
3. After the fire has been extinguished, immerse any remaining smoking cells completely in water.
   

Wear protective gear during this procedure.

2. SKIN CONTACT
   

1. Wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.
   
2. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
   

3. EYE CONTACT
   

1. Rinse eyes immediately with clean water continuously for at least 15 minutes.
   
2. Seek medical attention immediately afterwards.
