1.2 MAXX SST 1000 SAFETY FEATURES
BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Automatic overload and over-temperature shutdown activated
if AC output exceeds 1000 watts.
• Automatic AC short-circuit shutdown and automatic reset
• Automatic low voltage audible alarm and reset
(sounds at 10.6 volts input)
• Automatic low-voltage shutdown and automatic reset
(activates at 10.0 volts DC)
• Automatic high-input voltage shutdown (activates at above
14.7 volts DC) and automatic reset
WARNING
: MAXXSST™ 1000 output should be treated with the
same caution as any 110 volt AC circuit. It is very important that
anyone who is installing or using the inverter read and follow all
instructions provided in this manual to ensure optimum safety and
performance.
MAXX SST™ 1000 inverters are ideal for powering:
• TV/VCR combinations
• Refrigerator/Freezers
• Lights
• Radio receivers/Transceivers
• Heavy duty power tools & chargers
• Stereo systems
• Microwave ovens
• Household appliances
• Computers and peripheral equipment
• Dry and/or wet-and-dry vacuums
• Sump pumps, motors and other electric-powered equipment
• Air compressors and much more
MAXX SST™ 1000 Models use a 12 VDC power source like those found
in 12 VDC motor vehicles or it can be operated using multiple battery config-
urations with commercial battery chargers or solar battery chargers. For
most heavy-duty applications, a multiple battery configuration and the use
of deep-cycle batteries is a requirement.
With installations using multiple batteries, inverters can be operated from
one of the vehicle 12 volt batteries, so there’s always one battery with
adequate charge to start an engine.
Other features include a high-surge capability (up to 2,000 watts), which
is required to start heavy loads such as motors and other inductive devices.
8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
8.1 COMMON PROBLEMS:
POWER TOOLS AND MICROWAVE OVENS WON’T START
Read the information panel on each power tool carefully to accurately
determine the tool’s input wattage. The wattage output is sufficient to
operate most power tools and microwave ovens but remember that the
power needed to start the power tool may be as much as 2 to 6 times its
continuous wattage requirements.
"BUZZING" SOUND IN AUDIO SYSTEMS AND/OR SNOW IN TVS
Inverters are shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. Ensure that
the TV antenna provides an adequate "snow free" signal and that the
antenna cable is high quality and shielded without the inverter operating.
The problem may not be with the inverter. However, in some cases, some
interference may be visible, particularly with weak TV signals. Try the
following corrective measures:
• Position the TV and antenna further away from the inverter if it is the
cause of interference.. Adjust the antenna, or use commercial cable
hookup (if possible) for best results
• Do not operate high-power appliances or tools when you are watching TV
• Make sure inverter's case is properly grounded as described in section 5.5.2

INVERTER SHUTS DOWN OR BATTERY FUSE OPENS
Inverter will continuously deliver 12 watt or up to 10.8 amps of AC power
for approximately 3 minutes and will deliver up to 2000 watt peak. After
which, the inverter may shut itself down or the battery fuse will open due
to overload or excessive load demand on start-up. Replace battery fuse, if
opened. Reduce the load on the inverter to its maximum rated output
power. Allow the inverter to cool for at least 15 minutes before attempting
to start or run a high current draw device.
