Congratulations on selecting the Vector ElectroMateª Model VEC095 Auxiliary AC/DC Power System. ElectroMate is an advanced power and jump-start system with unique features that set it far above the value and utility of ordinary jump-starters, portable tire compressors and auxiliary AC and DC Power Supplies. It can jump-start any vehicle with a standard 12 Volt DC electrical system: boat, truck, car, airplane, RV, personal watercraft, snowmobile, tractor, etc. It supplies AC for 110 Volt appliances to 1000 watts, and DC for 12 Volt appliances to 30 Amps. It can inflate any sized tire from small utility trailers to large truck tires. It can inflate most popular inflatable items such as volley balls, footballs, and beach accessories. This ElectroMate model is modular in design and can be considered as several interconnected components. The major components are: Battery, Power Inverter, Automatic Battery Charger, Tire Compressor and Jump-Start System. Competitive jump-start and AC and DC power systems are not modular and if there is a component failure, the entire unit must be shipped for service. Each ElectroMate component is described in detail in itÕs own section of this manual.

(See Figure 1.)

NOTE: The ElectroMate is shipped without an internal battery. The user

must obtain and install a 12 Volt, deep-cycle, sealed, lead-acid battery. This battery shape is ÒGroup 27Ó and are available with capacities that range from 85 to 125 ampere hours, depending on local availability.
