Location & Mounting
- Dry, ventilated area inside the boat, on a level surface without excessive vibration, away from motors and generators and from radio receivers and transmitters.
- As close to the batteries as possible. At least 5 cm between the inverter (excluding base plate) and walls or objects; do not cover the grilles.
- Horizontal, or vertical on a bulkhead with the DC terminals facing down (recommended for convection cooling); LEDs visible.
- Fix with screws able to carry the weight (not supplied). Supplied: inverter, manual, warranty, and RDH1660 remote panel where applicable.
- Class A product: it may cause radio interference in a domestic environment. Power only from a battery, not from a DC power system.
Battery, Cable & Fuse
| Model | Battery (min.) | DC wire (min.) | Fuse |
|---|---|---|---|
| HSI 1208 HR | 100 Ah | 25 mm2 | CNL100DIN |
| HSI 1212 HR | 150 Ah | 35 mm2 | CNL150DIN |
| HSI 1216 HR | 200 Ah | 50 mm2 | CNL200DIN |
| HSI 2408 HR | 50 Ah | 10 mm2 | CNL60DIN |
| HSI 2412 HR | 70 Ah | 16 mm2 | CNL80DIN |
| HSI 2416 HR | 100 Ah | 25 mm2 | CNL125DIN |
- Maximum battery-to-inverter cable length 3m; size the cable for no more than 0,4V drop at maximum input current.
- Fuse on the positive, as close to the battery as possible. Terminal torque 4 - 4,5 Nm.
- An undersized battery or cable makes the inverter cut out or run intermittently.
DC and AC Connection
- Main switch to STBY; battery switch OFF.
- Positive cable to the + terminal, negative to the – terminal (check polarity: reversal blows the internal fuse and can seriously damage the unit).
- AC output cable: yellow/green ground, brown or black 1 phase, blue or black 2 neutral.
- AC safety: ground conductor to the boat's centre grounding point; bond the AC output neutral to ground where local rules or a ground-fault detector require; fit a GFCI breaker in the AC output.
- Commissioning: check connections and polarity, battery switch ON, main switch ON, test with an AC load.
Never connect the AC output to a generator, shore line, other inverters in parallel or any equipment that can generate power. Decommission in reverse: STBY, battery OFF, verify DC and AC are dead with a voltmeter.
CAN1 / CAN2 Ports (RJ45)
| Pin | CAN1 | CAN2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CANL signal | CANL signal |
| 2 | CANH signal | CANH signal |
| 3 | Not connected | Reserved |
| 4 | Simplified inverter status signal (20 mA max) | Reserved |
| 5 | Inverter negative | Reserved |
| 6 | Not connected | Reserved |
| 7 | Inverter positive (100 mA max.) | Not connected |
| 8 | CAN bus terminator (120 ohm) | CAN bus terminator (120 ohm) |
- Pin 4–5 status: high impedance = off, output disabled or a fault interrupting output; 8 V DC (HSI12xx) or 18,5 V DC (HSI24xx) up to input voltage = on (ON or LP) with no fault.
- The optional RDH1660 remote panel connects here (see its own manual).
Modes
| Status LED | Mode (switch) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Steady green | On (ON) | Running, no problems, full power available |
| 1 short green flash | Low power (LP) | LP mode, no problems |
| 2 short green flashes | Output disabled (ON/LP) | Disabled remotely via CAN bus |
| 1 long green flash | Stand-by (STBY) | Disabled by the main switch |
- LP mode: below the LP input level the inverter switches to intermittent output after 20 seconds; above the LP output level it returns to continuous output at once.
- LP input / output levels (set from the RDH1660): 15/35, 20/40 (factory), 25/45, 30/50, 35/55, 40/60, 45/65 VA.

| 9 red | Output short circuit or overload | Retries every 30s; check wiring and total load |
| 10 red (error LED) | Output overvoltage | Service centre |
| 11 red | Input fuse blown (probable reversed polarity) | Service centre |
| 12 red | Both fans jammed | Clear the blades; else service centre |
| 13 red | Output voltage too low | Service centre |
| 14 red | Both temperature sensors faulty | Service centre |
| Status + error, very quick red | System error | Service centre |
Values are for HSI12xx / HSI24xx. Faults 10–14 are blocking: switch off, remove the cause, switch on again.
Maintenance
- No special maintenance. Yearly: check wires and connections are intact and tight (qualified staff), and that the unit is dry, clean and its grilles free of dust.
- Clean with a soft dry cloth, or a cloth dampened with neutral non-abrasive detergent; do not spill liquids on it.
- Do not open the case (shock risk); opening by unauthorized personnel voids the warranty. Dimensions A 300 mm (11 13/16 inch), B 170 mm (6 11/16 inch), C 80 mm (3 9/64 inch), D 286,5 mm (11 9/32 inch), E 120 mm (4 23/32 inch).
