1. Important Safety Instructions
WARNING!
Before using the Inverter, read and save the safety
instructions.
1-1. General Safety Precautions
1-1-1. 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.

2-1. General Information
ST-series completes with stand –alone power inverter with AC transfer switch and is suitable for RV, Marin and Emergency appliances.
Either mode is front panel programmable.
In the first option, Off-line mode , AC output power will be supplied through the AC bypass mode in its normal operation. Upon AC input failure, output power will be diverted through the DC to AC Inverter Mode. Once AC mains are restored, the unit will revert from the Inverter Mode to the
Bypass Mode.
In the second option, On-line mode , AC output power will be provided directly by the inverter from the DC source. Should the DC source or inverter fail, the system will transfer its output power through the bypass mode. Once the DC power source is restored, the system will revert to the inverter mode.
This power inverter series is a member of the most advanced line of mobile AC power systems available.
To get the most out of the power inverter, it must be installed and used properly. Please read the instructions in this manual before installation and operation this model.
WARNING!
The above two option are fixed during the production and customer unable to modify.

3-3 DC Wiring Connections
Follow the instructions to connect the battery cables to DC input terminals of the Inverter. The cable should be as short as possible (less than 6 feet / 1.8 meters ideally) so that it can handle the required current in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations application. Inappropriate length of cables will deteriorate the inverter performance such as poor surge capability, frequent low-input voltage warnings, and shutdown. UVP warning occurs when DC voltage drops across the cables from the inverter to the batteries.
The longer or narrower the cables, the more the voltage drop.
I ncreasing your DC cable size will help improve the situation.
The following recommended cables are for the best performance of the inverter. (Apply both 120V and 230V versions)

3-3-1. Connect the cables to the power input terminals on the front panel of the inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and black terminal is negative (-).
Insert the cables into the terminals and tighten screw to clamp the wires securely.
WARNING!
Make sure all the DC connections are tight (torque to 9 – 10 ft-lbs, 11.7 – 13 Nm). Loose connections could result overheat in a potential hazard.
WARNING!
The installation of a fuse must be on positive cable.
Failure to place a fuse on “+” cables running between the inverter and battery may cause damage to the inverter and will void warranty.
Also, only use high quality copper wire and keep the cable length short which is a maximum of 3 - 6 feet.

3-4 Hard-wire Installation
AC wiring connections:
3-4-1. The AC wiring compartment is located on the front panel of the
ST series. Remove the AC wiring compartment cover to gain access to the AC terminal.
WARNING!
Before you connect AC wiring to the terminals of compartment cover, ensure to check the label in the compartment for correct connections. Wrong connection will damage the inverter.
CAUTION !
It is advised that all the electrical installation should conform to the local electrical codes and should be carried out by a certified electrician.
When the unit is feeding the internally inverted voltage (Power Status LED is green, power from the AC input source is not available), the current carrying conductors connected to the “L” and “N” terminals of the AC output will be isolated from the metal chassis of the inverter. Hence, during this condition, when the metal chassis of the inverter is connected to the earth ground, the
“N” terminal of the AC output will not be grounded (bonded) to the earth ground. Under this condition, the “N” terminal of the AC output will not be a
Neutral in the true sense. Do not touch this terminal as it will be at an elevated voltage(almost half the value the AC output voltage) with respect to the metal chassis / earth ground and may produce an electrical shock when touched!
When the unit is transferring power from the AC input source (Power Source
LED is orange), the grounding condition of the “N” terminal of the AC output will be the same as the condition of the “N” terminal of the AC input source. If the AC input source is the power supplied from the utility, the “N” terminal would be a Neutral in the true sense, will normally be bonded to the earth ground and will read almost 0 V with respect to the earth ground. In this case, touching this terminal will not be a shock hazard.
20

3-4-3. Please double check and review all connections to ensure the wires are in correct terminals and the connections are tight.
3-4-4.
Before connecting AC output and AC input terminals of the ST series, you can either use front compartment cover or a side hole to coil out.
Both AC input and AC output are coiled out from the front compartment cover when in production. If you want to change the position, you should open the top cover first, and then switch the wire of the front compartment cover and the plastic cover of the side of top cover.
21
WARNING !
If the connection distribution of the frond panel is not feasible for your appliances, ST series also provides another distribution on the side panel, to utilize it please be ensured to remove the plastic covers before installing the strain relief; moreover, replace the empty hole of front panel with removed plastic covers for safety purpose.

Be sure to keep it a distance (at least 1 inch) form surrounding things.
3-6. Installation
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:
3-6-1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
3-6-2. Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 0 ℃ and 40 ℃ , the cooler the better.
3-6-3. Safety – Do not install batteries in compartment or other areas where flammable fumes existence such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments.
3-6-4. Ventilated – Allow at least one inch of clearance around the
Inverter for air flow. Ensure the ventilation shafts on the rear
23
and bottom of the unit are not obstructed.
3-6-5. Dust-free – Do not install the Inverter in a dusty environments where dust, wood particles or other filings/shavings are present. The dust can be pulled into the unit when the cooling fan is operation.
3-6-6. Close to batteries – Avoid excessive cable lengths but do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries.
Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 4-3).
Do not mount the inverter at the place where it is exposed to the gases produced by the battery.
These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard. Before proceeding further, carefully check that the inverter is NOT connected to any batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical sources . Do not connect the output terminals of the inverter to an incoming AC source.
3-7. Inverter Operation
Switch the power ON, then the power inverter is ready to supply AC power to the loads. Turn on the loads separately after the inverter is ON to prevent
OVP status caused by the surge power.
3-7-1. Switch the power ON, then the buzzer will send out beep sound. At the moment, the inverter is doing self-diagnosis. Then the LED’s indicators will also show various colors.
Finally, the buzzer will send out another beep, and the Input Level and
Status LED indicators will turn green. Then the inverter will start to work.
3-7-2. Switch the power OFF, then the inverter stops and all the lights that are
On will go Off.
3-7-3. Switch the power inverter and the test load ON, then the inverter will supply the power to the load. If you want to measure true RMS voltage output of the inverter, a meter such as FLUKE 45 BECKMAN 4410 or
TRIPLETT 4200 must be used.
