In all marine applications, DO NOT install the inverter below or near the waterline, and keep the inverter away from moisture and water.

Use ONLY non-corrosive marine fasteners and fittings for installation. Only con- nect the inverter’s DC input to existing wiring (which must be approved for marine use) rated specified gauge, cable and length. (See Page 18) For cable lengths exceeding 6 feet from inverter to batteries, call Vector Manufacturing for additional installation information. The cable, fuse holder, fuse (not sup- plied) can be purchased at an electrical supply company. The fuse holder and fuse are a specified amperage rating (See Page 18) fuse and appropriate fuse holder. Call Vector® Technical Support (954) 584-4446 or toll-free (866) 584- 5504.

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, sunlight or to explosive or flammable fumes.

5.The unit is as close to the DC power source as possible.

CAUTIONS: This device supplies 110/120VAC electrical power directly to the appliances through three standard, North American U-ground receptacles. NEVER try to use the inverter with any 12VDC- power source that uses a positive ground. Most vehicles, boats and aircraft use negative ground systems.

Never connect the ground wire from the inverter to the DC negative input.

•CHECK to ensure that the combined loads of the appliances being powered by the inverter DO NOT continuously exceed the inverter’s watt rating.

•NEVER place items on or over the inverter during operation

MAXX SST™ inverters generate heat during operation like any high power device and must be placed where cooling air can circulate to the internal fan, and heated air can be removed.

For optimum operation, the inverter should be placed or mounted on a flat surface; ideally, a normally cool metal surface to help diffuse the heat that is generated. Two specified cables (See Page 18) will be required (not supplied); each should be a specified length (See Page 18) to allow for full power oper- ation and to provide flexibility in positioning the inverter. For safety reasons, keep small children away from the inverter at all times.

5.3 INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

To wire the inverter to a 12VDC power source, observe the following cautions, and follow the installation sequence for Quick Operational Check and Permanent Installation.

CAUTIONS: Ensure that DC connection polarity is correct. Reversed polarity will blow a fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. The manufacturer’s warranty does NOT cover damage due to reversed polarity. Review FIGURE 2, if necessary, to identify the location of the DC terminals.
