Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual explains the installation, interconnection, and operation of Argus Technologies’ INEX
Inverter System.
1.2 Product
Overview
INEX inverter series is an integrated telecommunication AC power system, including inverter, static switch, LCD
controller, and interface modules. With versatile “building block” design and N+1 redundant configuration, INEX
inverter system facilitates complex telecommunication and industrial power demands.
INEX series DC to AC inverter module is available for 1000VA (800W) or 1500VA (1200W) to convert -48Vdc
input to 120Vac or 230Vac output at 50Hz or 60Hz. The inverter module is “hot swappable” meaning it can be
inserted or removed from the shelf without cutting power to or from the system.
A universal 19” shelf is designed to parallel connect and synchronize all INEX inverter models. With this shelf,
INEX series employs N+1 redundant configuration to output power maximum of 12kVA for 120Vac models and
18kVA for 230Vac models, and to operate in N+1 redundant mode for optimization. INEX “all master” dynamic
mechanisms automatically share and re-organize critical loads to further prevent interruption if one or more
inverter modules fail.
INEX selective static transfer switch (STS) provides automatic instantaneous load transfer, which further secures
uninterrupted operation of sensitive electronic equipment.
The INEX system controller, equipped with a DSP microprocessor, gives real-time system status through
comprehensive LCD/LED indication, and allows program settings through the display panel. A communication
interface module provides local or remote control and monitoring of the system.
