To be honest i bought this by mistake ,I thought i was buying the same as i had in a past van being a sterling power.
before i fitted it i realised my mistake but thought oh well.
It has been working fine 2 months old.
I suspect 2 weeks ago in france i connected to the mains on Reverse polarity and it has caused a problem.
It works perfect on mains charges batteries as it should and is quiet and sockets all work.
When you disconnect from mains and it kicks into using 12v to invert to 240 it races -bangs and all sorts of things on the digital panel.
The instructions that came with it mention nothing about reverse polarity and the info book is 8 pages, but i today printed of a manual on th internet that is 16 pages long and in it it states reverse polarity will damage your inverter.
I have had so far no reply from where i bought it but i emailed them on saturday so not expecting a reply but also doubt it is covered by warranty.
Does anyone that knows where it can be repaired as i have looked on the internet with no success.
Or what damage and part might be needed.
Or in fact any help at all
