Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit breakers only interrupt power to the "hot" receptacle terminals. The "neutral" terminals remain powered with respect to the "ground" terminals.

For most heavy-duty applications, a multiple battery configuration and the use of deep-cycle batteries is required. When using multiple batteries, inverters can be operated from one of the vehicle 12 volt batteries, so there’s always one battery with adequate charge to start an engine. MAXX SST™ includes a high-surge capability. This is required to start heavy loads, such as motors and other inductive devices.

VEC049_50_51GM_Manual_041906 4/20/06 4:09 PM Page 10 INSTALLATION MAXX SST Portside Power 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 8). This manual does not describe all of the possible configurations.

VEC049_50_51GM_Manual_041906 4/20/06 4:09 PM Page 14 Operating Tips For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a stable, flat surface. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY — Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter. COOL — Surrounding air temperature should be between –1°C and 40°C (30°F and 105°F). Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, when possible.
