Protective Features Of Inverter - Vector VEC061 Owner's Manual & Warranty

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.
6. PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER
Your MAXX350SST monitors the following potentially hazardous
conditions:
Low Battery Voltage - This condition is not harmful to the inverter but could
damage the power source. An audible alarm will sound when input
voltage drops to 10.6. The MAXX350SST automatically shuts down when
input voltage drops to 10.0 volts. When the condition is corrected, the unit
may be restarted. Over Voltage Protection - The MAXX350SST will
automatically shut down when the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC.
Short Circuit Protection - Reverse polarity or a short circuit condition will
usually result in an external fuse being blown.
Overload Protection - The inverter will automatically shut down when the
continuous draw exceeds 350SST watts.
Over Temperature Protection - When the temperature sensor inside the
MAXX350SST reaches 150 degrees F, the unit will automatically shut
down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting after
a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.
Low Battery Alarm - An alarm will sound when the voltage from the battery
drops to 10.6 volts. This is an indication that the battery needs to be
recharged. The user should stop operation of the electronic device at this
time since the inverter will shut down automatically shortly thereafter, when
the battery voltage drops to 10 volts. Start your engine to recharge the
battery.
If the low voltage alarm sounds when the battery is fully charged, follow
the steps for solving lack of output power in the Troubleshooting Guide. The
alarm will sound when the inverter is overloaded, in thermal shutdown, or
if there is an excessive voltage drop between the battery and inverter.
