• Model #2021000 Inverter for 12V DC power • Model
#2021100 Inverter for 24V DC power
The #2021 Series inverter is designed to power fluorescent fixtures
for transportation using a battery source or anywhere 12V or 24V DC
power is available. Encased in a rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure,
the 2021 is entirely epoxy-encapsulated to provide a high degree of
resistance to moisture and vibration. It is also fuse-protected to
prevent possible overheating.
• INPUT #2021000 - 12V DC @ 2.5A • INPUT #2021100
- 24V DC @ 1.5A • OUTPUT - Operates one fluorescent tube
rated from 15 to 40 W • WEIGHT - 13 oz. (0.36 kg.)
NOTE:
It is preferred that an interrupter socket be used so that when lamp
is removed, power to inverter is discontinued.
This inverter was designed as a separate unit for the #2011 fixture.
These units invert the direct current of a battery to the alternating
power required to fire and sustain the lighting of fluorescent tubes.
The units contain quality solid-state devices and discrete components
for reliability. The units are encapsulated to improve vibration specifications.
Critical heat sensitive components are heat sunk to the chassis to
eliminate possibilities of thermal damage. The input power requirements
are 12.4 volts DC nominal at 2.75 amperes. Mounted on the chassis
is a circuit interrupting socket, so that when the tube is removed
no input is accepted. The units have three connecting
power wires: 1.
Black - Battery negative (ground) 2.
Red - Battery positive 3.
White - Lamp output Trouble shooting procedures:
No light output: •
Replace fluorescent tube •
Verify power to unit connections •
Replace inverter unit Electrical Specifications:

Recommended tube lengths: 2 feet - 20 watt
/ 4 feet - 40 watt. 6 foot and longer tubes may draw excessive current
and are not recommended for use with this style inverter.
Mounting Requirements:
1. Unit should be attached to a good chassis or equivalent ground
2. Unit must be attached to a material which will act as a heat sink
(steel, aluminum, brass, etc.) |
