THIS UNIT IS IGNITION PROTECTED
This product requires a knowledge of both a/c and d/c electrical
installation. Please do not install or attempt to install this product
unless you are qualified to do so. All effort is made to make the
instructions as safe as possible but it is not possible to cover all
electrical safety and installation aspects. Sterling can only
assume a certain basic knowledge is held by the installer.
Top Function
1) 11 pre programmed battery curves including LiFePO
2) 1 custom set, can be set from charger, no need for computer.
3) 2 x digital meters for current and voltage measurement.
4) 1 x power meter to show what reserve power left on the unit.
5) PFC, active, up to 0.99 pf, ensuring efficient power conversion, up to almost 90% as
opposed to about 50% for older non PFC technology.
6)New synchronised rectification output as opposed to diode output, giving up to an extra10%
efficiency
7) High voltage de-sulphation cycle.
8) New, low activity, standby mode to increase battery life.
9) Battery health program.
10) Multiple speed fan control to reduce unnecessary fan noise experienced by the customer,
even though the new extreme efficiency reduces the need for fans, at high ambient
temperatures: ( 40-50 deg C ) fans would still be required to ensure operation.
11) Primary ( processor digitally controlled ) and an emergency backup secondary (analogue
controlled) high voltage trip.
12) 32 LED information pane.
13) Internal scan and systems check.
14) Remote control
15) Small footprint and light weight
16) Include battery temperature sensor
17) As with all our marine chargers no exposed ferrous metals used, only aluminium/stainless
steel/copper /brass/gold, exposed to air.
18) % power reduction to allow unit to work with restricted power available ( available on local
control or remote control panel ),
19) Conforms to A.B.Y.C. drip test, is water proof from water directly dropped on to the top of
the unit ( +/ - 17 deg ) if installed correctly (vertically)
20) The printed circuit boards are conformal coated for high humidity operations.
