Opening theinverter for any reason will void the warranty. The unit mustbe returned to Vector Manufacturing for testing and repair byprofessional factory technicians.INSTALLATIONMAXX SST™ inverters will provide you with continuous electrical power whenpowered by a 12 volt DC source, such as a vehicle battery or a multiple batteryconfiguration (see the diagram under “Battery Configuration,” page 6). This manualdoes not describe all of the possible configurations.Operating EnvironmentDo not locate inverters in an area, room or compartment where explosives orflammable fumes might be present, such as engine rooms, engine compartments, andboats 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 coolingairflow;4. The unit is not exposed to direct heat, sunlight or to explosive or flammable fumes;and5. 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 theinverter DO NOT continuously exceed the inverter’s wattage rating.• NEVER place items on or over the inverter during operationMAXX SST™ inverters generate heat during operation and must be placed where coolair can circulate to the internal fan, and hot air can be removed.For optimum operation, the inverter should be placed or mounted on a flatsurface; ideally, a normally cool metal surface to help diffuse the heat that isgenerated. 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 inpositioning the inverter.Marine ApplicationsIn 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.
