Connection To Power Source - Vector VEC061 Owner's Manual & Warranty

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:
CAUTION: Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the
majority of modern automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground)
Connecting to Power Source Using Cigarette Lighter Plug:
The cigarette lighter plug is suitable for operating the inverter at
power outputs up to 150 watts. The tip of the plug is positive and
the side contact is negative. Connect the MAXX350SST to the power
source by inserting the cigarette lighter plug firmly into the
cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle or other DC power source.
CAUTION: Connect directly to power source with supplied battery clips
when operating above 150 Watts.
NOTE: Most automobile cigarette lighter circuits use fuses rated at 15 to
20 Amps or greater. To operate over 150 watt to a full 350 watt output,
either use the battery clip cables (supplied) or directly wire to the power
source with user-supplied wire and fuse. Caution: Reverse polarity
connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage
to the inverter and will void the warranty.
Connecting to a Power Source Using Provided Cables:
If the inverter is to be used for extended periods at power levels above 150
watts, direct connection to the power source is required. Use the provided
cables to connect the MAXX350SST directly to the 12 volt power source
using the following guidelines:
1. Check to be sure the MAXX350SST power switch is turned off and that
no flammable fumes are present.
2. Connect the black cable to the black post marked "(-)" on the back of
the inverter. Connect the battery clip to the negative terminal of the
battery.
3. Connect the red cable to the red post marked "(+)" on the back of the
inverter. Connect the battery clip to the positive terminal of the battery.
