Resumen del manual
It lets you provide two outlets for 115 Volts AC anywhere you have 12 volts DC; in your car, truck, RV or boat. It is designed to be easy to use and provide years of dependable service. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE Read all the Cautions and Warnings before installing and using the power inverter. The inverter must be properly installed. If you are not familiar with 12 volt, high-current wiring, it is recommended that you have a professional automotive installer install the inverter. Cautions • The STP-150 generates 115 Volts AC power from your 12 volt car battery. Treat the 115 Volt AC output just like you treat the 115 Volt AC in your house. It is just as dangerous. Keep away from children. • With heavy use, the unit will become warm and possibly hot. Keep it away from any heat sensitive materials. • Do not connect the unit to AC distribution wiring. • Keep the unit away from water. Do not allow water to drip or splash on the STP-150 • Keep the unit in cool environments. Ambient air temperature should be between 40o and 80o F. Do not block vent holes. • Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heating vents. • Keep the unit away from flammable material or in any location which may accumulate flammable fumes or gases, such as the battery compartment of your car, boat, RV or truck. Health Advisory Sima Products does not authorize the use of the STP-150 with any products to be used in life support devices or systems. Model No. ____________ Date Purchased ___________ Parts supplied with STP-150 STP-150 Power Inverter with cigarette plug User Instructions (This document) Key Features The STP-150 is designed for high-efficiency operation to provide the most output with the least battery power usage. Advanced protection • Thermal Protection shuts the unit off to guard against the unit getting too hot • Overload Protection protects the unit from excessive loads • Under Voltage Protection turns the unit off to protect the battery from being over discharged This Sima power inverter produces a modified sine wave output which is suitable for most AC loads. This includes lights, appliances, motors, TVs and most electronics. CAUTION: There are a few battery chargers that are not compatible with modified sine wave operation. These are typically small rechargeable, battery-operated devices like razors and flashlights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge. Some chargers for battery packs used in power tools also should not be used with an inverter. These chargers typically have a warning label indicating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals. Only a true sine wave inverter should be used with these types of appliances. Damage to the device could result if you attempt to use them with any type of modified sine wave inverter. Warning: Do not use the Sima power inverterwith the devices mentioned above! Installation Needed for Installation (not included) Mounting hardware for the inverter Tools for mounting and electrical wiring MountingStep #1: The STP-150 should be mounted on a solid flat surface capable of handling the weight of the unit, with space around the unit for ventilation. It is very important that the unit be secured using the proper sized mounting hardware (not included) to keep the unit from moving around or becoming loose in emergency situations. CAUTION: The power inverter must be mounted securely in any type of moving vehicle. In an emergency situation, if the power inverter is not securely mounted, it could cause bodily injury Connection to Power Source The STP-150 requires connection to a standard 12 volt DC power source as found in most cars, trucks, RVs and boats. The power source must provide between 11 and 15 volts DC. The power source must be able to provide sufficient current to power the load. At full power, the STP-150 will draw about 15 amps. The STP-150 comes with a cigarette lighter plug for easy connection to the power source. The tip of the plug is positive and the side contacts are negative. Insert the plug into a cigarette socket by pushing firmly for a good connection. A red indicator light on the adapter will light up. Do not use a 12V extension cord with this unit. Testing the Power Inverter Make sure the 12 volt power source is wired properly to the power inverter. With nothing plugged into the 115 VAC outlets, turn on the power switch of the STP-150. If the green power light does not come on, turn the power switch off and check your wiring and external fuse. With the inverter turned off, plug the appliance you want to use into the 115 VAC power outlet on the unit. Turn on the power switch of the STP 150. The appliance should now be operational. Operation Equipment Power Usage It is important to use only products that draw less than 150 watts with the STP-150. Use of products greater than 150 watts may either cause the protection circuitry of the STP-150 to shut down or the fuse to blow. Repeated use of excessive power draw can cause failure of th...
