Installation; Operating Environment - Vector MAXX SST VEC049D User's Manual & Warranty Information

CAUTION
If turning the ON/OFF Switch OFF then ON again does not reset the
inverter, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE INVERTER. Opening the
inverter for any reason will void the warranty. The unit must
be returned to Vector Manufacturing for testing and repair by
professional factory technicians.

INSTALLATION

MAXX SST inverters will provide you with continuous electrical power when
™
powered by a 12 volt DC source, such as a vehicle battery or a multiple battery
configuration (see the diagram under "Battery Configuration," page 6). This manual
does not describe all of the possible configurations.

Operating Environment

Do not locate inverters in an area, room or compartment where explosives or
flammable fumes might be present, such as engine rooms, engine compartments, and
boats or small, unvented battery compartments.
To avoid possible dangerous conditions, the inverters must be located where:
1. The unit is kept dry;
2. Air temperature is between 30°F (–1°C), non-condensing, and 105° F (40°C);
3. At least three inches of clearance from other objects is maintained for cooling
airflow;
4. The unit is not exposed to direct heat, sunlight or to explosive or flammable fumes;
and
5. The unit is as close to the DC power source as possible.
Never connect the chassis ground wire from the inverter to the DC negative input.
• CHECK to ensure that the combined loads of the appliances being powered by the
inverter DO NOT continuously exceed the inverter's wattage rating.
• NEVER place items on or over the inverter during operation
MAXX SST ™ inverters generate heat during operation and must be placed where cool
air can circulate to the internal fan, and hot air can be removed.
For optimum operation, the inverter should be placed or mounted on a flat
surface; ideally, a normally cool metal surface to help diffuse the heat that is
generated. Two cables (see the "Specifications" section, page 16) are not supplied,
but will be required to allow for full power operation and to provide flexibility in
positioning the inverter.
Marine Applications
In all marine applications, DO NOT install the inverter below or near the waterline,
and keep the inverter away from moisture and water.
Use ONLY non-corrosive marine fasteners and fittings for installation. Only connect the
inverter's DC input to existing wiring (which must be approved for marine use) at the
appropriate gauge, cable and length (see the "Specifications" section, page 16). For
cable lengths exceeding 6 feet from inverter to batteries, call Vector for additional
installation information. The cable, fuse holder and fuse (not supplied) can be
purchased at an electrical supply company. The fuse holder and fuse are a specified
amperage rating (see Specifications, page 16). Call Vector Technical Support at (954)
584-4446 or toll-free at (866) 584-5504 with any questions.
