    1. HIGH SPEED COOLING FAN 2. (+) DC POWER CONNECTIONS 3. (–) DC POWER CONNECTIONS HOW YOUR VECTOR INVERTER WORKS The inverter converts low voltage DC (direct current) from a battery or other power source to standard 110 volt AC (alternating current) household power.

  • Page 6: The Maxx 350Sst Output Waveform

    3.2 THE MAXX 350SST OUTPUT WAVEFORM The AC output waveform of the MAXX350SST is known as “modified sine wave”. It is a waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors.

  • Page 7: Connection To Power Source

    CAUTION: The MAXX 350SST must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery. CONNECTION TO POWER SOURCE The MAXX350SST comes equipped with a cigarette lighter plug and battery clip cables for connection to the power source:...

  • Page 8: Connection To Load

    Check to be sure that all connections between battery clips and terminals are secure. Direct Hardwiring to Power Source: Use #10 AWG wire if the inverter to power source connection is 14 feet or less. For longer cable lengths use #8 AWG wire. In either case, protect the positive (+) wire from shorts by installing a 50 Amp fuse or circuit breaker close to the DC power source (battery) terminal.

    into the AC receptacle(s). The green LED indicator lights to indicate that the inverter is functioning. Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed 350SST watts. The MAXX350SST is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above.

  • Page 10: Operating Tips

    With a typical vehicle battery, a minimum operating time of 2 to 3 hours can be expected. In most instances, 5 to 10 hours of operating time is achievable. However, Vector recommends that the operator start the vehicle every 2 to 3 hours to recharge the battery system. This will guard against any unexpected shut-down of the equipment and will ensure that there is always sufficient battery capacity to start the vehicle’s engine.

  • Page 11: Protective Features Of Inverter

    The inverter draws less than 0.3 ampere from the battery when it is not supplying power to a load. In most instances, the inverter can be left connected to the battery when not in use since it draws so little current. However, if the vehicle is to remain unused for several days, disconnect the inverter from the battery.
