PRODUCT INFORMATION FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

Introduction Ensure you have read the manual completely before using this device. A full understanding of the capabilities of the Sterling Power product is crucial to it’s continued performance and your safety.

This inverter converts a 12V or 24V or a 48V DC voltage into a usable AC voltage with a pure sine wave (100-

127V/220-240VAC). This inverter allows you to utilise a battery power source to supply power to equipment that would require mains supply. The voltage for the input and the voltage for the output is dependent on the model.

Be aware that some products have power surges on initial engagement. Ensure that these start-up peaks are within the inverters operatable range. Some peaks can be up to as much as 5 times the continuous power consumption of an electrical product.

Notes of Use Prior to using the inverter ensure that all cables are mounted correctly and are secure. Never use the inverter when cables are damaged. Ensure the inverter is [ON].

It is normal for the housing to get warm during operation. The fan will keep operation within a safe and efficient range.

If you will not be using the inverter for a significant length of time you will benefit from disconnecting it from your battery over the period.

LED Indicators POWER - GREEN - Battery connected and the switch is in the ON position.

FAULT - RED - Fault on the DC input or internal temperature

FAULT - RED BLINKING - Fault on the AC output

Cross reference with trouble shooting page for solution

USB Output All Sterling Power PS inverters have a 5V USB port. Maximum load is 2,1 amps.

Remote Control PSRC is the product code for the Sterling Power Pure Sine Remote Control, the round-remote control intended for use with the PS series of products. When it is connected it is important that the main switch on the inverter is in the OFF position. When the inverter is in the OFF position the remote control can toggle power on and off.

LCD Display The LCD screen displays the battery voltage (V), output power (W), battery state of charge, low voltage protection alarm, over voltage protection alarm, overload protection alarm and the over temperature protection.

Cooling Fan The fan is temperature and load influenced. At a certain load, dependent on model, the fan will engage automatically. As internal temperature increases the fan will gradually increase in power.

PRODUCT INFORMATION INSTALLATION

Mounting Ensure, if you are choosing to wall mount, that your mounting points are secure and sufficient to hold the weight with the mounts you choose to use. Ensure that there is space for ventilation (minimum 10cm) to allow air circulation. Ensure at least 2 of the available mounting supports are screwed in for install.

Neutral Earth Bonding These units are neutral earth bonded, tying the neutral to the earth terminal. This gives 230V across the live and neutral terminals but also from live to earth. This allows an RCD to operate safely as intended and is compliant with hard wire installation requirements on vehicle installs.

Install Preface All electrical installations should be carried out by a professional electrician. High voltages are a reality when utilising an inverter and do have the potential to kill you. Ensure your input and output voltage needs are correct for the model you have before continuing.

Sterling do not provide, by default, the cable necessary for your installation. We are of the belief that every install is unique to the client and as such we cannot presume. Ensure that your cable thickness is sufficient and safe for the current we can expect to move through it and ensure that you fuse your cable when connecting to a battery.

Installation Instructions Red cable refers to the cable on the positive DC line. Black cable refers to the cable on the negative DC line.

1. Ensure all instructions have been adequately understood and you have ensured your personal safety.

2. Connect one side of the red cable to the positive DC terminals at the back of the inverter and one side of the black cable to the negative DC terminals at the back of the inverter.

3. Tighten all connections firmly

4. Connect the remaining ends of cable to the battery. The red positive cable connects to the positive terminal on the battery. The black negative cable connects to the negative terminal on the battery. These cables should be correctly fused and the connection itself must be firm, tight and sufficient.

Do NOT reverse polarity the inverter (Positive to negative, negative to positive). This can destroy the inverter and would not be covered under warranty.

Grounding The AC output ground must be connected with the grounding point for the connected equipment. The ground connection on the inverter itself should be connected to the ground chassis on the vehicle with 6mm2 cable.

AC Equipment All Sterling PS inverters have two plug sockets. One Schuko (Euro) plug and one UK mains plug. Ensure that your AC equipment does not exceed the power rating of the inverter. The inverter is at risk of becoming damaged in the instance of power surges. This damage is not covered within the warranty as it constitutes invalid use.

Other AC Power Supplies Some users may wish to run this inverter in conjunction with other AC power supplies such as a mains supply or a generator. This is NOT suitable. Having the inverter involved with other AC power supplies in a circuit will damage the inverter and this is not covered by warranty. You must utilise a cross-over switch for use in these situations.

Legal Obligations An inverter MUST be safe for use. It may sometimes be difficult to obtain a good grounding/earth connection however this is important to it’s safe operation. In some circumstances it is obligatory by law to have these units safely grounded. To determine cable size / fuse size, refer to page 11.

10.5V +/-0.5V

21V +/-0.5V

42V +/-0.5V

Disengage at

11.5V +/-0.2V

23V +/-0.2V

46V +/-0.2V

Low Voltage Protection If the input voltage continues to drop after the alarm signals the low voltage protection will engage. AC output is shut down and the red fault indicator will trigger. The alarm will continue to sound. The inverter will automatically restart when the voltage has risen sufficiently.

20V +/-0.5V

40V +/-0.5V

Restart at

12.6V +/-0.2V

25.2V +/-0.2V

50.4V +/-0.2V

Over Voltage Protection If the input voltage rises outside of safe parameters then the PS inverter will trigger its over-voltage protection.

The AC output will be shut down and the red fault indicator will trigger. When the input voltage has dropped to safe levels the inverter will restart.

12V Models :

24V Models :

48V Models :

Shut down at

16V +/-0.5V

32V +/-0.5V

64V +/-0.5V

Restart at

12.6V +/-0.2V

25.2V +/-0.2V

50.4V +/-0.2V

Temperature Protection In rare instances the internal cooling provided by the fan may be insufficient. In these instances the temperature protection feature will engage. This disables the AC output and the red fault indicator will engage. Once the inverter has cooled again it will restart automatically.

Short Circuit on Output The inverter will switch off the AC output if it detects a short circuit on the output side. The red fault indicator will flash intermittently. Inverter will restart automatically when the fault is resolved

Overload Protection If the AC output is demanding power that is greater than the inverter is rated to safely provide the overload protection will disconnect the output. The red fault indicator will flash intermittently. Once the problem is resolved the inverter will restart.

Warranty Note In the instance that the protection is not quick enough to engage and you manage to damage the unit (either through overload, over voltage, etc) this is not at fault of Sterling and the unit will not be liable for warranty.

Sterling Power is not liable for the potential degradation of your batteries. This may occur if you continually and repeatedly drain your batteries down past their preferred guidelines.

PRODUCT INFORMATION TROUBLESHOOTING

Buzzer Alarm The acoustic warning implies low DC voltage on the input. Please charge your battery or supplement the load by charging your battery while running the inverter.

Solid Red Fault Light A solid red fault light implies there is either an input fault or the temperature protection is active.

In the instance of an input fault you will likely register the input voltages from your battery as being too low or too high. When the voltages return to normal levels the inverter will engage.

In the instance of the temperature protection causing the fault, please verify that the fan is working and that the inverter has sufficient ventilation. If the inverter is located in an area of high ambient temperature and frequently seems to have temperature trips, please consider relocating it into a cooler area.

Blinking Red Fault Light A blinking red fault light implies there is an output fault. This will likely either be a short circuit or an overload.

Please safely attempt to check your AC appliances for a fault. When the fault is resolved the inverter will restart automatically.

Green LED But No Output This can imply a number of potential faults and is largely due to using improper equipment. Please verify that your battery capacity is sufficient to supply the requested load. Please verify that all of the connections between the inverter and the battery are sufficient. Please verify that the cables in use are sufficient for your demand.

Please verify that the power being requested is within the rating of the inverter.

No LEDs, No Function In the instance that all LEDs are off, please verify that you are receiving a valid voltage at the DC input terminals.

Please verify this with an independent voltmeter as read off of the terminals themselves. If you are getting a 0V reading at these rear terminals then it is likely that a fuse has blown or your battery, if lithium, may have tripped.

There could be a connection failure somewhere between the inverter and your battery.

If you are getting your battery voltage at the DC terminals please verify that any fuses have not blown. Some fuses allow a continuity reading even after they have blown. If you are getting a higher voltage than the inverter is rated to, this could also explain the fault.

In the instance that none of the above seems to explain the problem and you are getting a valid voltage at the inverter please verify that the inverter is turned ON. If the inverter is turned ON and you have valid voltages at the terminals and the inverter is still not functioning or providing any feedback then please contact Sterling with voltage readings ready to provide.
