2.0 INVERTER APPLICATIONS Aside from issues of supplying power to higher wattage appliances, inverters must be supplied with a constant source of high current 12VDC from a bank of batteries. At full watt load, the DC input requirements are up to 15 amps at 12VDC. Read and comply with the following applications, and your inverter will give you years of reliable service. WARNING: Never connect the inverter’s AC output to an AC distribution system. 2.1 UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY (UPS) Inverters

3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION MAXX SST™ inverters change 12VDC into 110/120VAC RMS, electrical power. This is accomplished in two steps. (See FIGURE 4). The first stage raises the 12VDC input to 145VDC. The advanced design of the DC-to-DC first stage uses high-frequency conversion techniques that replace bulky and heavy transformers found in older inverter technology. The output stage changes the 145VDC to 110/120VAC. This solid-state circuitry ensures excellent overload protection and the ability

NOTE: Because of wave-shape differences, using standard digital or analog voltmeters may not correctly read the inverter output voltage. Unless a true RMS voltmeter such as a "Fluke 87", "Fluke 8060A", "Beckman 4410" or "Triplet 4200" is used, the reading will be from 2 to 20 volts low. 4.0 OPERATION NOTE: Ensure that the total continuous power consumption of all tools and/or appliances connected to the inverter (and in use) does not exceed the inverter’s continuous watts rating. Also ensure th

Inductive loads, such as TVs and stereos, require more current to operate than do resistive loads with the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some TVs, may require two to six times their rated wattage to start up. Because the MAXX SST™ inverters have a peak watt power rating, many such appliances and tools may be safely operated. The equipment that needs the highest starting wattage are pumps and compressors that start under load. This equipment can be safely test- ed. If an over

Figure 6 – Battery Operating Time For example, as shown in FIGURE 6, using a 400 amp hour battery (batteries), if the average power usage will be 1000 watts, the operating time will be about 150 minutes. A larger capacity battery will deliver more operating time between recharges. NOTE: The manufacturer recommends conservative estimates when selecting a battery. More amp hours will deliver a reserve capacity, and a larger capacity battery will not be subject to deep discharges. Ideally, the num

5.0 INSTALLATION MAXX SST™ inverters will provide you with various watts of continuous, electrical power (See Models Specification Chart Page 18) when powered by a 12VDC source such as is found in a vehicle or multiple battery configuration as shown in FIGURE 7. This manual does not describe all of the possible types of battery, battery charging, and battery isolation configurations. 5.1 INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS: To properly operate the inverter, the DC power source must provide between 10.5

In all marine applications, DO NOT install the inverter below or near the waterline, and keep the inverter away from moisture and water. Use ONLY non-corrosive marine fasteners and fittings for installation. Only con- nect the inverter’s DC input to existing wiring (which must be approved for marine use) rated specified gauge, cable and length. (See Page 18) For cable lengths exceeding 6 feet from inverter to batteries, call Vector Manufacturing for additional installation information. The cable

Remove the plastic terminal covers and terminal nuts. 2. Identify the positive and negative terminals on the 12VDC battery and identify the positive and negative terminals on the inverter. 3. Using the set of heavy-duty jumpe

PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION NOTES: The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch. It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so install the inverter as close as possible to the 12VDC power source. Vector inverters can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a wall, mount it horizontally so tha
