Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the STP-150 Power Inverter. It lets you provide 115 Volts AC anywhere you have 12 volts; 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 40 degrees and 80 degrees F.

•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.

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 inverter with the devices mentioned above!
