INTRODUCTION
C3 MPPT and C3+MPPT range is a multi-function inverter/charger, combining several functionalities:
inverter, MPPT solar charger and battery charger that offer a power supply in a compact design. Its
user-friendly LCD screen with user-configurable buttons allows setting the battery charging current,
the AC/solar charger priority, and the acceptable input voltage based on different applications.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Installing and connecting C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT in a way that does not comply with accepted
practices releases Infosec Communication from any liability.
 Risk of electric shock:
 C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT uses potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble this
equipment, as it does not contain accessible components that can be repaired by users, fuse change
excepted.
 Any fixing should be performed by qualified technicians only.
 In the event of an emergency situation, switch C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT to the “Off” position and
disconnect the unit from the AC power supply and from any other source of power.
 Should C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT be out of order, please refer to the section: “trouble shooting” and
call the hotline.
 Connected products:
 Combined C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT and connected equipment leakage current should not exceed
3,5 mA.
 Make sure that the connected load does not exceed C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT capabilities. To ensure
an improved backup time and longer battery lifetime, we recommend a load equivalent to 1/3 of the
nominal power.
 Do not plug C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT input into its own output terminal.
 Do not plug C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT into a power strip or surge suppressor.
 C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT was designed for domestic appliances and personal computers.
 Due to excessive consumption, laser printers should not be connected to C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT
 Please replace the fuse only with the same type and amperage in order to avoid fire hazards.
 Correct disposal of the device:
 Install C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT in a temperature and humidity-controlled room free of conductive
interference.
 C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT should not be exposed to direct sunlight or sources of heat. Do not cover
the ventilation slots.
 Disconnect C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT from AC power and from any other source of power before
cleaning with a damp cloth (no cleaning products).
 Do not leave any recipients containing liquid on or near C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT.
STORAGE
Do not keep or use C3 MPPT / C3+MPPT in any of the following environments:
 Any area with combustible gas, corrosive substances or heavy dust.
 Areas with excessively high or low temperature (above 55°C or below 0°C) and humidity of
more than 90%.
