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, fuse holder, fuse (not sup-
plied) can be purchased at an electrical supply company. The fuse holder and
fuse are a specified amperage rating (See Page 18) fuse and appropriate fuse
holder. Call Vector

CAUTION:
To avoid possible dangerous conditions, the inverters must be
located where:
1. The unit is kept dry.
2. Air temperature is between 30°F (-1°C) non-condensing, and 105 degrees F
(40°C).
3. At least three inches of clearance from other objects is maintained for cooling
airflow.
4. The unit is not exposed to direct heat, sunlight or to explosive or
flammable fumes.
5. The unit is as close to the DC power source as possible.
CAUTIONS:
This device supplies 110/120VAC electrical power directly to the
appliances through three standard, North American U-ground
receptacles. NEVER try to use the inverter with any 12VDC-
power source that uses a positive ground. Most vehicles, boats
and aircraft use negative ground systems.
Never
connect the ground wire from the inverter to the DC negative input.
• CHECK to ensure that the combined loads of the appliances being powered
by the inverter DO NOT continuously exceed the inverter’s watt rating.
• NEVER place items on or over the inverter during operation
MAXX SST
™
inverters generate heat during operation like any high power
device and must be placed where cooling air can circulate to the internal fan,
and heated air can be removed.
For optimum operation, the inverter should be placed or mounted on a flat
surface; ideally, a normally cool metal surface to help diffuse the heat that is
generated. Two specified cables (See Page 18) will be required (not supplied);
each should be a specified length (See Page 18) to allow for full power oper-
ation and to provide flexibility in positioning the inverter. For safety reasons,
keep small children away from the inverter at all times.
5.3 INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
To wire the inverter to a 12VDC power source, observe the following cautions,
and follow the installation sequence for Quick Operational Check and
Permanent Installation.
CAUTIONS
: Ensure that DC connection polarity is correct. Reversed polarity
will blow a fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.
The manufacturer’s warranty does NOT cover damage due to
reversed polarity. Review
FIGURE 2
, if necessary, to identify the
location of the DC terminals.
