NOTE:
APPLIANCE SPECIFICATIONS MAY VARY FROM BRAND TO
BRAND. THIS TABLE IS OFFERED ONLY AS A GUIDE TO APPROXIMATE
POWER RATINGS. CHECK APPLIANCE MANUALS OR PRODUCT
LABELING FOR ACTUAL RATINGS. TO USE THE MAXIMUM OUTPUT
OF 1000 WATTS, MAXX SST 1000 MODELS MUST BE CONNECTED
TO A DC POWER SUPPLY CAPABLE OF PROVIDING 100 AMPS.
A. Power Output
The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating (1000 watts
continuous). Some induction motors used in refrigerators, freezers, pumps
and other motor-operated equipment require very high surge currents to
start them. The inverter may not be able to start some of these motors even
though their rated current draw is within specifications for this power
inverter.
If a motor refuses to start, observe the battery voltage using a DC voltmeter
while trying to start the motor. If the battery voltmeter drops below 11 volts
while the inverter is attempting to start the motor, this may be why the motor
won’t start. Make sure that the battery connections are tight and that the
battery (or batteries) is (are) fully-charged. If the connections are good and
the battery is charged, but the voltage still drops below 11 volts, you may
need to use a larger battery (or battery combination).
5.2 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
WARNINGS:
DO NOT locate inverters in an area, room or compartment where explosive
or flammable fumes might be present. Typically, these areas are: the
engine room or engine compartment of a gasoline-powered vehicle or
boat and small, closed, unvented battery compartments.
In all marine applications, DO NOT install the inverter below or near the
waterline and keep the inverter away from moisture or water.
Use ONLY non-corrosive marine fasteners and fittings for installation.
Only connect the inverter’s DC input to existing wiring (which must be
approved for marine use) rated #4 AWG. For cable lengths exceeding 4
feet from inverter to batteries, call Vector Manufacturing for additional
installation information. The cable, fuse holder, fuse (not supplied) can be
purchased at an electrical supply company. The fuse holder and fuse are
or ANL-200 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 or sunlight or to explosive or
flammable fumes.
5. The unit is as close to the DC power source as possible.
