A
new range of inverters sets to improve efficiency, power management and reduce
installation space in for professional vehicles.
The
new inverter range from Ring has been developed to address the specific issues
raised by vehicle converters and fleet managers, who need highly efficient,
compact power sources in their vehicles when they are being used to work
remotely. The new inverters, available in both Pure Sine Wave and Modified Sine
Wave, are more efficient than previous models and now include a power saving
mode to ensure battery power lasts for as long as possible. The new models have
up to 40% smaller footprints than previous models, helping save valuable space
in commercial vehicles.
Several
of the new models now include a multi-function LCD display, which is also an
optional fit across the rest of the range. This can also be remotely mounted,
making it easy for users to check power output. The inverters will display a
warning once the battery is running low – essential to help monitor power usage
and ensure the batteries do not become fully depleted. The inverters also have
a series of simple error codes – displayed on the LCD – that make it quicker
and simpler to diagnose power issues, such as low battery voltage shutdown and
high voltage shutdown. The inverters also feature overload and over temperature
control, protecting both the vehicle and users.
Paul
Shaw, New Product Development Manager at Ring, comments: “Professional vehicles
have more need for a reliable electrical supply than ever before, so we’ve
created the new range of Ring inverters to meet the challenges faced by
converters and fleet owners. We’ve made them more compact, more efficient and
with an updated LCD display to make it easier to monitor the information
essential for power management.”
To
enhance the power management options, a Current Sensor Module has also been
launched. This monitors the current being taken from the battery and gives an
accurate reading for how long power usage can be maintained. This can prevent
power running out with no warning.
The new inverters feature
extruded metal casings, making them robust enough to withstand tough working
environments, as well as heavy duty input cables and clamps. The new range
includes models with a range of power outputs, from 600W and up to 4000W,
available in Pure Sine Wave and Modified Sine Wave, with SRPs starting at £229.
