Allowed them to continue to operate without disruption. The “3 in 1” is very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the generator or shore side supply.
A qualified and trained personnel must carry out installation of , or any work on the unit . Installation and application must comply with the respective local installations codes and safety regulations. DAI-1500C-12xx / DAI-3000C-12xx DAI-1500C-24xx / DAI-1500C-24xx BTS-A-15 (m)
B. Warranty During production and assembling, all Sterling Inverter / Chargers go through many testing procedures. Every Sterling has its own serial number, which helps to refer back to its original data in the event of controls or repairs. That is why you should never remove the identification plate showing the serial number and must ensure you return your warranty card as soon as possible.

Sterling reserve the right with some models to supply an accredited installer with replacement parts, this may allow the unit to become operable much quicker. In this case Sterling are not responsible for any costs of the installer’s time or traveling expenses.
C. Introduction C.1 Basic schematic This unit is a a sine wave inverter with integrated battery charger and AC Bypass switch with many additional functions. PV Array Solar Controller BATTERY Home / Boat / Motohome C.1.1 The Inverter The sinewave-inverter section of your Combi generates a sinewave AC voltage...

-15- E.7.1 The Inverter The Inverter section of the unit produces a high quality Sinewave output, the quality of this output is compatible with any appliance, Thanks to the generous dimensioning of the unit , you can operate appliances requiring higher power than the nominal power of the unit for a short time.
Page 19
-16- E.7.5 Battery Condition Deep discharging of batteries leads to high losses in capacity and early aging. That is why the unit will constantly monitor the battery condition. When battery voltage gets too low the Invertek switches OFF. The multi-display will show “...
-17- F. Disabling Functions (Fn05) Each different function, charger, inverter and transfer can be disabled. This is useful for specific applications which are required to disable some of these three functions. If you press the “FUNC” button for more than 2 seconds you can have access to the different possibilities shown in the following diagram,.

The method of operation is a 3 or 4 step charging process, the same as the battery charger. The function is described in the section on battery charger. The programming and the adjustments are carried out in accordance with the section on battery charger.
I. Auxiliary Contacts In the unit there are two built-in programmable power relays (AUX1, AUX2). The potential-free change-over contact of this power relay is connected to the screw terminals (AUX1 NO-NC-COM, AUX2 NO-NC-COM) Maximum Contact load: -230Vac / 5Amp-30Vdc/7Amp In the factory we program this output to be active when one these situations are detected: Over temperature Overload...
-22- L. Programming Aux Contacts (AUX1, AUX2) L.1.1 Principle The Auxiliary unit can be basically programmed for any operating situation of the unit which is indicated with a LED. The programming is possible for one or more operating situations. If the contact is programmed for many situations, it is activated as soon as the unit finds itself in any one of the programmed situations.
-23- M. Maintenance Periodic maintenance is important to avoid potential problems. Every six months disconnect all power in and out from the system. Thoroughly clean and check all battery connections within the battery bank and to the unit . Ensure all connections to the unit are tight.
