6) Connect cables to the power source:
a) Connect the cable from the Negative (Black) Terminal(s) of inverter to the Negative Terminal of the
power source; ensure a secure connection.
b) Connect the cable from the Positive (Red) Terminal(s) of the inverter to the Positive Terminal of the
power source (the battery’s main fuse or the battery selector switch, if you are using one) ; ensure a
secure connection.
WARNING:
If you are making a permanent AC connection to the inverter, make sure that the AC wiring is
performed before any DC wiring is done. (DC hook-up may energize internal components and create an
electrical shock hazard).
3 OPERATION
3.1 P
OWER
The VertaMax features a Soft Start to handle the power surge that is created when some appliances are
turned on. This feature helps protect both the appliance and the inverter from excessive power draws and
surges.
When the power switch is turned on, the VertaMax Soft Start will smoothly bring up the AC power. The Soft
Start circuitry also activates under excessive loads and short circuits, to quickly turn off power to protect the
device and the inverter. Soft Start will attempt to smoothly bring up the AC power, unless it detects an
excessive load.
3.1.1
Power ON
Ensure the VertaMax is properly installed and connected as shown in Section 2 and ensure the DC Power
Source is ON (if switched).
From the AC Output end of the inverter, switch the rocker power switch up to the ON position. The green
power indicator will light and the VertaMax will now deliver AC power to the outlet(s) on the AC Output end of
the inverter.
Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and switch them on, one at a time.
