Page 5: Electrostatic (Esd) Precautions
windynation Cool: Ambient air temperature between 23°F and 104°F (-5°C and 40°C) Ventilated: Allow at least 6 in (150 mm) of clearance above and below and at least 1 in (25 mm) on each side for proper air flow. Safe: Do not operate in a shared compartment with batteries or any flammable substances, (e.g.: gasoline) IMPORTANT: To avoid fire, do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. - Page 6 windynation The VertaMax has two DC terminals, one positive and one negative. Red is Positive [+] and black is Negative [-] and has the same polarity as the battery. When connected, positive must connect to positive (red to red), negative connect to negative (black to black). The inverter will ship with two alligator clamp style cables for temporary power connections.

windynation When the temperature drops, the inverter will automatically return to normal operation. IMPORTANT: The cooling fan is designed to operate when the temperature increases but may not be adequate enough to prevent overheating. 3.2.5 Short Circuit This inverter is equipped with multiple internal fuses. When in a short circuit state, the alarm will beep and the FAULT LED will blink Red. -
Page 10: Typical Power Consumption
windynation Example – Ampere-hour capacity: a battery with an ampere-hour capacity of 100 ampere-hours can deliver 5 ampere for 20 hours before it is completely discharged. To determine the battery ampere-hour capacity: Determine how many watts each piece of AC equipment (TV, light bulbs, etc) consumes. -

Page 12: Battery Capacity
windynation deliver over a period of time, typically 20 hours. Therefore, a 100 amp-hour battery can deliver 5 amps for 20 hours (5 x 20 = 100). Actual operating time from a battery will depend upon the current draw from the battery. A battery will deliver less total power (energy) as you draw higher amps. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting
Keep battery cables as short as possible and twist them together (2-3x per foot). 5.3 S UPPORT If you are experiencing technical problems, and cannot find a solution in this manual, you can contact Windy Nation Inc. for further assistance. • Call: (805) 323-6445 • Email: support@windynation.com... -
