Vector 2000 Max inverter VEC054D turns on, fan etc., LED comes on but no output 120V. Any thoughts. This unit is no longer mfg. Black and Decker bought the company then discontinued the line.

What does it show when a power inverter fault red light lights and make sound?
ad by Wikibuy
s, most importantly "Check the manual" If you don't have one, search the web.
Common reasons include:-
Battery/supply voltage too low
Battery/supply voltage too high
Output current/power too high
Battery/input current too high (as a result of excessive output loading)
Inverter over temperature
Output voltage, frequency etc might also be monitored.
Whatever it means, it is indicating 'something' is not normal, and it requires investigation. Possibly the inverter has permanently failed; possible it is a temporary condition which can be corrected.
Try disconnecting the load, try freshly charged batteries, try letting it rest & cool down etc. & see if the fault indication clears...
Hello, I hear you. Was the reason to supply 240 volts? When you try the inverters separately, do you get 120Volts output? Let us look at the units working individually first and go from there.
If it has a 12 volt fan, you can replace it with one designed for computers that has a built-in thermistor. These fans will automatically increase or decrease their RPM depending on the ambient temperature. I have seen them in 70,80,120mm sizes. As long as the inverter is on, you do not want the fan to ever be completely off because even without load some heat is generated and can build up inside if no ventilation is present. Although the fan will never completely turn off, this might be the easiest solution if your goal is to make the inverter quieter (and use less energy) when not in use.
There is a fuse on these things at the back of the case. Could be in a slide out plastic holder, or in a round holder with a knurled screw or bayonet type cap. If this fuse is not blown, then the news is not good.
your inverter needs to cool at all times , if the fan does not work,try buying a small standing fan to blow cool air to you machine, it is possible that your heater is making the inverter to over heat please avoid using the heater on the inverter
Sounds like a ground issue,Try this,Take the jumper cables and hook just the neg clamp tho the battery and the other end to the case of the inverter for a direct ground and see if that works..
There is less than 120v getting to the fan. Its possible that the lights will turn on etc. Take an extension cord and plug it in another plug and grab both power wires from the fan and stick them in other end of extension and I do service calls for broan & Nutone
Jean-Marc try it out. Im sure your not getting 120v completelty.
