1.0 INTRODUCTION
Your new Vector MAXX SST 1000 inverter is one in a series of the most
advanced DC to AC inverters available. With proper care and appro-
priate usage, it will give you years of dependable service in your car,
truck, RV or boat.
The MAXX SST 1000 supplies 1000 watts of continuous power, with a
2000 watt peak, in the form of three household-type outlets that are ready
to deliver 110 volt AC power whenever and wherever you need it! The
heavy-duty inverter has enough power to run most household or electronic
appliances. Added safety features include automatic shutdown and a low
battery alarm to prevent damage to your battery.
This Power Inverter is configured with the latest Soft Start Technology (SST).
Before introduction of Soft-Start, high startup currents from large inductive
loads could shut down the inverter. Soft Start improves inverter operation.
Three major features incorporated in SST include: First, gradual voltage
ramp-up during inverter startup. This eliminates failed cold starts under
load. Second, output that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly recovers
to allow large motorized loads to start. This eliminates almost all shut-
downs from momentary overloads.
This power inverter also incorporates a new cooling technology that
directly benefits our customers. The new design more efficiently cools the
power transistors, and combined with Soft Start, dramatically increases
reliability and the life of the product.
1.1 BASIC TOUR OF THE MAXX SST™ 1000 MODEL INVERTER
AC power is supplied via three standard North American grounded,
household-type receptacles (U-ground) as shown in FIGURE 1. This allows
the connection and operation of most 110 VAC-powered electrical and
electronic appliances that use a standard plug.
The rest of the front panel items are:
One combined over-temperature and overload LED. If this lights, the
inverter will automatically shut down.
One green LED that lights when the inverter is operating.
One ON/OFF switch that shuts off the AC output and all inverter functions.
The ON/OFF switch is also used to reset the inverter after shut down due
to overload or over-temperature condition.
FIGURE 2
shows the back panel DC connectors and fan locations. Note
that the fan only operates when the inverter’s load requires it to operate. It
shuts off when cooling is not required.
9.0 MAINTENANCE
The inverters require minimal maintenance. However, for optimum perform-
ance, perform the following as required.
1. Turn off the inverter using the front panel on/off switch.
2. Disconnect the inverter by removing the DC power fuse.
3. Check and tighten all electrical connections including the ground.
4. Using a non-metallic vacuum cleaner hose, vacuum the fan area
and other air slots.
5. Clean any dirt and dust from the outside of the unit with a damp cloth.
6. Reconnect the fuse and resume operation
