Page 3: Introduction
windynation INTRODUCTION The VertaMax Power Inverter is a highly reliable product that uses advanced technologies for high performance and stability. The VertaMax efficiently converts DC power from your vehicle, boat, or directly from a dedicated 12V DC battery, into 115V AC power that is commonly used in a wide variety of household AC items, such as computers, mobile phone chargers, radio, TV etc. -
Page 4: Specifications
windynation Do not operate the VertaMax near flammable fumes or gases, such as in the cabin of a gasoline powerboat, or near propane tanks. Never work or service the AC wiring without disconnecting the DC Input connections. Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter is operating from the battery supply. Dangerous arcing may result. -
Page 5: Electrostatic (Esd) Precautions
windynation 2.1 E (ESD) P LECTROSTATIC RECAUTIONS All electronic circuits may be damaged by static electricity. To minimize the likelihood of electrostatic damage, discharge yourself by touching an electrical ground (e.g.: copper pipe) prior to handling the unit and avoid touching components on the circuit boards. The risk of electrostatic damage is highest when relative humidity is below 40%. - Page 6 windynation IMPORTANT: For 1500 Watt units, use a minimum of 2 AWG wire with a wire length not to exceed 4 feet*. IMPORTANT: For 3000 Watt units, use a minimum of 1/0 AWG wire with a wire length not to exceed 4 feet*.

Page 7: Permanent Ac Connection
windynation IMPORTANT: When fully tightened, the Cable Lug should not be able to rotate around the Inverter connection post. Check and tighten the end caps periodically as they can become loose from vibrations or thermal cycling. Connect cables to the power source: Connect the cable from the Negative (Black) Terminal of inverter to the Negative Terminal of the power source;... -
Page 8: Operation
windynation Tighten the terminal block screws to 1.6lbf-ft Secure strain relief clamp and check connections for correct polarity and no loose strands of wire Connect the outgoing AC wires to the AC load panel 3 OPERATION IMPORTANT: The inverter must be rated at more power that the intended electrical appliances to be used. -
Page 9: Meter Readings
Remote Power Switch: Part Number PIN-RMPS-01 (purchased separate) is a 5 meter corded remote control available through Windy Nation. To remotely control the power function of the inverter, switch the rocker power switch (on the inverter) down to the OFF position, essentially shutting down the Inverter. From the Remote Control press the “ON”... -
Page 10: Over Heating
windynation 3.3.4 Over Heating After continuous use the inverter case temperature will rise to ~60 C. When the inverter exceeds a safe operating temperature, due to insufficient ventilation or an increase in ambient temperature, the alarm will beep two (2x) times and the FAULT LED will blink Red. If the over- temperature condition persists, the inverter will automatically shut down. -
Page 11: Typical Power Consumption
windynation Calculate the total watt-hours of energy consumption (power in Watts x operating time in hours) using the average power consumption and the total estimated running time (in hours). Power x Operating Time = Watt-Hours. Divide the watt-hours by 10 to determine how many battery (12 volt) ampere-hours will be consumed. -

Page 13: Battery Capacity
windynation 4.4.4 Battery Capacity Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to power your application. Even though VertaMax Inverters are highly efficient at DC-to-AC inversion, their rated output capacities are limited by the total amp- hour capacity of connected batteries and the support of charging devices connected to the battery (e.g. -
