• A special moisture barrier, a conformal coating, that protects the internal circuit
board from failing from excess humidity conditions.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt outlets
• Installation instructions especially geared for marine applications.
Built-in Safety Features include:
• Automatic overload and over-temperature shutdown and manual reset
• Automatic AC short-circuit shutdown and manual reset
• Automatic Ground Fault Circuit Interruption and manual reset
• Automatic low voltage audible alarm and reset (sounds when input drops below
10.6 volts DC)
• Automatic low-voltage shutdown and manual reset (activates when input drops
below 10.0 volts DC)
• Automatic high-input voltage shutdown (activates when input exceeds 15.5 volts
DC) and manual reset
• Moisture resistant
• Vibration resistant
Control and Function Guide
On the front panel are three LED indicators. The green Power LED indicates power
and proper operation of the inverter; the red Fault LED indicates inverter shutdown
from over-load or over-temperature condition; and the amber High Input LED indicates
inverter shutdown from abnormally high input voltages. The ON/OFF Switch turns the
inverter ON and OFF. The switch can also be used to force reset of inverter circuits
by switching it OFF, then back ON again.
120 volt AC power is supplied through Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) North
American, household-type outlets. The VEC049GM and VEC050GM feature two
outlets; the VEC051GM features four. The outlets can accommodate either two- or
three-pin AC plugs.
