    2 1.1 basic tour of the maxx sst ™ 3000 inverter ac power is supplied via two standard north american grounded,household-type receptacles (u-ground) as shown in figure 1 (the front panel). This allows the connection and operation of most 110 vac-powered electrical and/or electronic appliances using ...

    4 with installations using multiple batteries, the inverter can be operated from one of the vehicle or vessels’ 12 volt batteries, so there’s always one battery with adequate charge to start an engine. Other maxx sst ™ 3000 features include a high-surge capability (up to 6000 watts), which is requir...

    5 not all fluorescent lamps operate properly with this type of inverter. If the bulb appears to be too bright, or fails to light, do not use the lamp with this inverter. Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly increase in speed (rpm) when powered by the inverter. This is not harmful to the fa...

    6 read the following applications and comply with them, and your maxx sst ™ 3000 will give you years of reliable service. Never connect the inverter’s ac output to an already powered ac distribution system. If you will only be operating the maxx sst ™ inverter occasionally and manually, using the tw...

    7 figure 3. Uninterruptible power supply. 2.2 ac transfer switch another way to configure the inverter is somewhat different in that the inverter is turned on but does not power the appliance load on the high output terminal block as long as outside ac is available. The “idle current” of the inverte...

    8 when outside ac power is restored, the transfer switch should be returned to the outside ac position. This off-loads the inverter and allows for faster battery recharging. Use the same charging guidelines in the previously described ups (floating battery) configuration. You may have to contact an ...

    10 note: the 110 vac output of the inverter is a modified sine wave that produces 115 vac ac voltage. Because of wave-shape differences, if you measure the output of the inverter using standard digital or analog voltmeters, these instruments will not read the voltage correctly. Unless a true rms rea...

    12 note: the ac receptacles on the front of the maxx sst ™ 3000 are equipped with 15 amp circuit breakers. These receptacles therefore are capable of maximum output of 1650 watts each (110 volts ac x 15 amps). To use the maximum output of 3000 watts, the maxx sst ™ 3000 must be connected to a dc pow...

    13 inductive loads, such as tvs and stereos, require more current to operate than do resistive loads with the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some tvs, may require two to six times their rated wattage to start up. Since the maxx sst ™ 3000 inverter has a peak power rating of 6000 w...
