1 Safety instructions

WARNING!

Read the entire manual before using the AC Master. Keep the manual in a secure place.

 Use the AC Master following the instructions and specifications stated in this manual.

 Connections and safety features must be executed according to the locally applicable regulations.

 Operation of the AC Master without proper grounding may lead to hazardous situations!

 Use DC-cables with an appropriate size. Integrate a fuse in the positive wiring and place it nearby

the battery. Refer to the specifications.

 If the positive and negative wires on the DC-input (battery) are exchanged, the AC Master will be

damaged. Damage of this kind is not covered by guarantee. Check whether all connections are

connected correctly before placing the fuse.

 Do not connect the AC-output of the AC Master to an incoming AC source.

 Never connect the AC Master in parallel with any other inverter.

 Never open the housing as high voltages may be present inside!

2 Liability

Mastervolt cannot be held liable for:

 Consequential damage resulting from the use of the AC Master.

 Possible errors in the included manual and the consequences of these.

 Use that is inconsistent with the purpose of the product.

7 Installation instructions

This section provides a step by step instruction of the basic installation of the AC Master.

Step 1. Disconnect power supplies.

Step 2. Switch OFF the AC Master.

12/300, 12/500, 24/300, 24/500 – User and Installation Manual

Step 3. Select a location to install.

• Install the AC Master in a well-ventilated room protected against rain, snow, spray, vapour, bilge,

moisture and dust.

• Ambient temperature: -20 to 40°C / -4 to 104°F.

• Never use the AC Master at a location where there is danger of gas or dust explosions. Mount

the AC Master vertically with the cables hanging downwards and so that airflow through the

ventilation openings is guaranteed. Mounting the AC Master in another position is possible but

influences the ingress protection degree (IP)!

• No objects are to be located within a distance of 10 cm / 4 inch around the AC Master.

• Do not install the AC Master in the same compartment as the batteries. Do not mount the AC

Master straight above the batteries because of possible corrosive sulphur fumes.

Step 4. Remove the fuse cover and DC fuse(s).

Step 5. Mount the AC Master with four screws to a solid surface.

Step 6. Connect the chassis ground terminal to the central grounding point of the vehicle/ship.

Step 7. Connect the battery to the DC input. Do not place the fuse yet!

Step 8. Wire the IEC plug.

See also figure Connections on page 5.

Step 9. Connect the AC load.

For safe installation:

• The neutral conductor (N) of the AC output of

the AC Master must be connected to the safety

ground (PE/GND).

• Integrate a ground fault circuit-interrupter

(GFCI/RCD) in the wiring of the AC output.

Refer to locally applicable regulations on these

issues!

Step 10. Check all wiring. When all wiring is OK: place the DC fuse(s) and close the fuse cover.

When the fuse is placed, internal capacitors may cause a spark. This is normal.

Step 11. Switch ON the AC Master.

OFF

8 Operation

Switching ON and Power Saving

Move the main switch to position I (ON) or II (POWER SAVING).

Power saving mode scans the output and compares the detected load to the threshold value (40W). If a

load is detected which is below the threshold value, the inverter switches to power saving mode. If a

load is detected higher than the threshold value, the inverter is switched on.

Switching OFF

Move the main switch to the position O (OFF). Note that switching off the AC Master does not

disconnect the batteries!

9 Troubleshooting

Problem Possible cause What to do?

All LED indicators are off Main switch is set to the OFF

position.

Set the main switch in ON

position.

DC fuse(s) blown. Replace the fuse(s).

AC feedback, feedback

protection has caused the

inverter to switch off.

Remove AC power source for the

AC output and switch on the AC

Master. To avoid damage do not

install in parallel with another AC

source.

Output LED blinking green Power saving: Inverter is in

Power saving mode.

Increase the load or put the main

switch in position I.

Sine Wave LED continuously red

(Inverter fault)

Over temperature. Reduce the

load and let the inverter cool

down. It will switch on again

when the internal temperature is

sufficiently low.

Check the airflow through the

inverter. The operation of the

cooling fan may not be blocked.

Overload. Inverter attempts

restarting 5 times. If it still fails,

the AC Master remains in

Overload .

Reduce the load and/ or check

the AC wiring for possible short

circuits. Then reset the inverter

manually by switching the main

switch off and on again.

Fan fault. Contact your Mastervolt supplier.

Sine Wave LED blinking slowly

red (Battery voltage low/high)

DC input voltage too low (flat

battery).

Check the battery. At low

voltage, disconnect the load and

charge the battery. The inverter

will switch on again when the

input voltage is > 11.0V (22.0V).

DC input voltage too low: voltage

drops across the DC cables due

to too long or too narrow cables.

Reduce the length of the DC

cables or use cables with a

larger gauge.

DC input voltage is too high. Check battery voltage; switch off

charger. The inverter will switch

on again when the input voltage

is < 14.5V (29.0V).

Sine Wave LED blinking fast red

(Short circuit)

Inverter attempts a restart 5

times. If it still fails, the AC

Master remains in Short circuit.

Switch off the AC Master and

check the AC wiring. Only switch

the inverter on when the wiring

problem has been solved.
