2 . GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This advanced system design is ideal for emergencies and can also enhance
your fun by powering AC or DC appliances on the road, field location, in the
garage and at the campsite. Please read this guide carefully before use to
ensure best performance and avoid damage to the system or items that you
are using it with. ElectroMate™ has several exclusive features that set it apart
from other power centers.
Compared to other cart type AC/DC power systems, ElectroMate provides for in-
stallation of the largest capacity sealed lead acid battery. This means longest run
times and highest power output.
ElectroMate includes a 12 Volt DC to 110 Volt AC power inverter. This allows
operation of most 110 Volt AC appliances to 1000 watts. The AC output is
through a dual GFCI outlet. GFCI automatically disconnects the outlets when a
ground fault is detected, ensuring user protection from electric shock because
of faulty appliances or extension cords. The GFCI outlets can connect to any
two- or three-pin North American standard appliance plugs.
ElectroMate is also ideal to power 12 Volt DC cordless, portable appliances
with a combined current rating up to 30 amperes. Two 12 Volt (See Figure 2)
covered appliance outlets (ports) are on the front left panel of ElectroMate.
Covers must be open for port use; closed after use. An internal 30 amp auto-
matic reset breaker protects the outlets from electrical shorts or overloads. For
information about Vector appliances, contact Vector Customer Support toll-
free (866) 584-5504 for the location of the nearest retailer.
A Battery Level Display on the left side of the front panel is an easy-to-read,
series of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that shows the level of charge in the
battery (from Low to Full). The Charge Status Display activates whenever the
Charge Status Push-button is pressed. (See figure 2.) Below the Battery Level
Display are the Polarity indicators. These operate in conjunction with the Safety
Switch.
