1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL APPLIANCES READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Read all instructions before operating product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury . • AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS Don’t use appliances in damp or wet locations.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
3 IMPORT ANT CABLE INFORMA TION: Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters installed with cables that are not able to supply full power . Symptoms of low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an insufficient gauge.
• Overload and over -temperature shutdown activated if AC output exceeds rated watts • AC short-circuit shutdown • Low voltage audible alarm (sounds at 10.5 volts input) • Low-voltage shutdown (activates at 10.0 volts DC) • High-input voltage shutdown (activates at above 15.
APPLIANCE PO WER CONSUMPTION MAXX SST™ inverters are ideal for powering: • Lights • TVs and TV/DVD (VCR) combinations units • Radio receivers/transceivers and stereo systems • Computers and .

safely operated. The equipment that needs the highest starting wattage are pumps and compressors that start under load. This equipment can be safely tested. If an overload is detected, the inverters will simply shut down until the overload situation is corrected.
Note: All operating time curves assume permanent installation with the appropriate DC input wire (See the “Specifications” section of this Instruction Manual) and a full charge on the batteries.
3. At least three inches of clearance from other objects is maintained for cooling air flow; 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.
Permanent Installation For permanent installation to heavy-duty battery power you will need: • T wo cables (as indicated in the “Specifications” section) • T erminals to fit cable ends and stu.
13. Connect the stripped, soldered (longer) end of the positive (+) cable to the red stud marked (+) on the inverter and tighten the retaining nut. 14. Connect the stripped, soldered end of the negative (–) cable to the black stud marked (–) on the inverter and tighten the retaining nut.
TR OUBLESHOO TING Common Audio/Visual Problems Resetting the Unit After over -voltage or thermal automatic shutdown, the VEC054D will reset automatically . T o reset all other units, turn the ON/OFF Power Switch to the “OFF” position, then back “ON.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Storage 1. Ideal storage temperature range is 50-68°F (10-20°C). 2. Store and use the inverter in a cool, dr y place with adequate ventilation. 3. Avoid locations that are exposed to heating units, radiators, direct sunlight or excessive humidity or dampness.
