1. Important Safety Instructions

Before using the Inverter, read and save the safety

1-1. General Safety Precautions

WARNING!

instructions.

1-1-

Do not expose the Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the Inverter in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

1-1-2. To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing

wiring is in good electrical condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

1-1-3. This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or

sparks. To prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations which require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.

1-2. Precautions When Working with Batteries

1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap

and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

1-2-2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or

engine.

1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or

short-circuit on the battery of other electrical part may cause an explosion.

1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,

and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

The following two separate optional versions of these units are available

2. Functional Characteristics

2-1. General Information

ST-series consist of a stand–alone power inverter with built-in AC Transfer Switch and is suitable for RV, Marine and Emergency applications.

source and the DC to AC inverter is the backup source. If AC input power from the utility is available, it will be passed through to the AC

: The AC input power from the utility is the primary

Option 2

power from the utility fails, the AC loads will be transferred to the inverter. When AC input power from the utility returns, the load will once again be transferred back to the utility and the inverter will once again remain in standby condition. This is the standard version.

•

On-line Mode

: The AC power from the DC to AC inverter is the

primary AC power source and the utility AC power is the backup source. If the DC source or the inverter fail, AC input power from the utility will be passed through to the AC loads. Once the DC power source is restored, the load will once ag inverter. This is an optional version and has to be ordered specifically.

WARNING!

The above two option are fixed during the production and customer unable to modify.
