Page 4: Introduction
• Under Voltage Protection turns the unit off to protect the battery from being over discharged The STP-1500 power inverter produces a modified sine wave output that is suitable for most AC loads. This includes lights, appliances, motors, TVs and most electronics. -
Page 5: Overview Of The Power Inverter
Overview of the Power Inverter The STP-1500 power inverters are electronic devices that convert the low voltage 12 VOLTS DC from a battery or other power source to 115 VAC to run standard household appliances. See the section on How it Works to learn more about the technology used in these power inverters. -
Page 6: Installation
The unit must be mounted in a dry, cool area. Do not allow water to drip or splash onto the inverter. -
Page 7: Step #2: Wiring Inverter To 12 Volt Power
Step #2: Wiring Inverter to 12 volt Power The power inverter 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. -
Page 8: Permanent Installation
• Disconnect the positive battery terminal before doing any wiring to the inverter. • Using proper sized copper wire and proper terminations, wire the inverter to the electrical system and fuse block. See your local RV dealer or automotive shop for wire, connectors, fuse block and other wiring parts. -
Page 9: Advanced Installation
With the inverter turned off, plug the appliance you want to use into the 115 VAC power outlet on the unit. Turn the power switch on the power inverter on so the green POWER light is illuminated. -
Page 10: Operation
Operation Equipment Power Usage It is important to use only products that draw less than the power rating of the power inverter. Use of products greater than the rated power rating may either cause the protection circuitry of the power inverter to shut down or the fuse to blow. -
Page 11: Lights And Alarms
This can happen if a device has a large turn on surge, if an appliance (like a drill or saw) is stalled or if the inverter does not have a supply of cool air. -
Page 12: How The Inverter Works
How the Inverter Works The Sima Products Corporation power inverter has two electronic sections. The first section converts 12 volts DC to approximately 160 volts DC using modern high frequency conversion techniques that uses small lightweight efficient transformers. The second section converts the 160 volts DC to 115 VAC using high efficiency power MOSFET transistor devices. -
