ST - III Series POWER SUPPLIES

USER MANUAL

Introduction

These instructions detail the installation and operation requirements for the ST20-III & ST35-III 
power supplies. These have been designed for operation in RV’s providing a DC power system, 
with optional battery back up. 
The units operate from 240Vac and provide an isolated 13.65Vdc output at 20A and 35A 
respectively for powering the load and charging of batteries. All the necessary protection and 
operating features for the load and batteries are provided. An optional DC input is also provided to 
enable charging of batteries and powering of the load from an ex13.8V DC power source.
The units are fully enclosed ready for direct wall mounting. All connections are at the rear of unit 
providing convenient wiring and installation. User access to all load and battery fusing has been 
provided from the front of the unit.

Operation 

Safety:

 Refer to the installation section before operating. Correct installation is the most critical 

factor in ensuring the safe use of the power supply. If every consideration of these instructions has 
been satisfied the power supply will be safe to operate.
If the AC supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or 
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard.
The unit is rated to charge a single 12V (up to 6 cells) lead acid battery at 100Ahr Capacity.
