Black & Decker VEC054D Introduction, Controls and Functions, Maxx SST Safety Features

IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION:

Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters installed with cables that are not able to supply full power. Symptoms of low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an insufficient gauge. Marine installations are also subjected to vibration and stresses that exceed those of other mobile installations. Therefore, the installer/operator should be especially aware of the requirements to maintain secure, tight, water-resistant electrical connections and to provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance wiring. Cable insulation must be the appropriate type for the environment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MAXX SSTTM COMPACT POWER INVERTER MODEL VEC054D.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

•Follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use with this unit. Review cautionary markings on these products and on engine.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the VEC054D MAXX SSTTM Compact Power Inverter. Please read this Instruction Manual carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and to avoid damage to this product.

This Power Inverter is configured with the latest Soft Start Technology (SST) and supplies continuous power and peak watts in the form of 120 volt AC outlets to run most household or electronic appliances. Before introduction of SST, high start-up currents from large inductive loads could shut down an inverter. SST improves inverter operation by:

•Gradual voltage ramp-up during inverter start-up, eliminating failed cold starts under load.

•Output that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly recovers to allow large motorized loads to start, eliminating most shutdowns from momentary overloads.

•A new technology that cools the power transistors more efficiently, and, combined with Soft Start, dramatically increases reliability and life of the product.

Added safety features include automatic shutdown and a low battery alarm to prevent damage to your battery.

FEATURES

On the front panel are two LED indicators. The green LED indicates power and proper operation of the inverter; the red LED indicates inverter shutdown from over-load or over-temperature condition, or abnormal 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. All models also feature a port to attach a remote control (sold separately).

120 volt AC power is supplied through three North American three-prong type outlets. The outlets can accommodate either two- or three-pin AC plugs.
