Connection To Load; Operating Tips - Vector MAXX SST VEC049D User's Manual & Warranty Information

13. Connect the stripped, soldered (longer) end of the positive (+) cable to the red
stud marked (+) on the inverter and tighten the retaining nut.
14. Connect the stripped, soldered end of the negative (–) cable to the black stud
marked (–) on the inverter and tighten the retaining nut.
15. Connect the other (long) end of the (+) positive cable to one terminal of the heavy-
duty fuse holder.
16. Connect the other conductor of the heavy-duty fuse holder to the (short) positive
(+) battery terminal.
17. Connect the other end of the (–) negative cablewith the ring terminal to the
negative (–) battery terminal.
18. Connect an insulated wire (at least #12 AWG) between the chassis grounding
screw on the inverter's case and a solid electrical ground to minimize possible
electrical noise in TVs and radios. Do not connect this wire to the
negative DC input terminal.
19. Ensure that all electrical connections have been tightened.
20. Ensure that the inverter's ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position.
21. Insert the fuse into the fuse holder. There may be some sparking.
22. Ensure the 12 volt DC power source has an adequate charge.
23. Turn the inverter ON and apply a test load to the 120 volt AC outlets.
* Ring terminals are not included and must be supplied by user.
If, after following all of the above steps, the inverter does not perform properly, the
source voltage may be too low or the cables may be too long (or the gauge too light).

Support, toll-free, at (866) 584-5504 for assistance if problems persist.

Connection To Load

The Power Inverter is equipped with standard North American three-prong type
outlets. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s).
Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed
maximum continuous power.
The Power Inverter is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and
electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power
Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter
to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth)
or to the NEGATIVE of the DC (battery) source.
WARNING
Do not connect to AC distribution wiring!

Operating Tips

For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a stable, flat surface. The
inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria:
DRY — Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter.
COOL — Surrounding air temperature should be between –0°C and 40°C — ideally
between 15°C and 25°C (60-80°F). Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight,
when possible.
WELL-VENTILATED — Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air
circulation around the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter during
operation. The unit will shut down if the internal temperature gets too hot.
