OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratutattons on your purchase of the finest power inverter avaltabte. With
care and common sense, this inverter will provide years of trouble-free

service.
INSTALLATION: Since the methods of instaltet!on will vary depending on the

situation, it is impossibte to anticiite atl posstbilittes. However, 1 the
recommendations below are followed carefully, virtually all pmblems will be
eliminated

bocatlon: The most dkttcult task may be selecting a mounting to&ion.
The folowing criteria should be considered: A.)Mount unit as close to
the battery as possible. CAUTION: Always hsve a battery in the

system; even when operating this lnverterfrom a power supply or

battery chargar. B.)The,mounting location should be as clean as

possible, ~preferably inside of the vehicle or in a sheltered area, not
exposed to the weather. Under-the-hood tnstaflatlon is not

recommended. This unit should be sheltered from the elements as any
olher’electronic device. When choosing a location, keep in mind, the
inverterwtli become hot to the touch when operating at hiQh power. We
suggest you keep your vehicle running when operating the inverter.
Always turn off the lnverter when it Is not In use,

yllidna; Refer to Table A for proper CC input wire size. To receive the

maximum time from battertes, use the shortest length and the largest
gauge wire. Atso, soldered-type tug connectors should be used for best
results. Marine-type battery terminals are recMnrt?ended to attach lug
connectors to the battery. To meximize the performance of the Inverter,
keep the battery and other electrical connsctots clean and free of
corrosion. AC power is available from the NEMA-15 plug in the front of
the invetter. or the termhal strip on the back of the unit.

On/Off SW To use a remote cm/off swttch with the inverter,
mount your remote switch In a convenient location. Connect a small
wire from 12 voits negative (from battery or inverter DC-, etc.), to the

switch, then from the switch to the REMOTE or RMT terminal on the
inverter. Ensure that the on/off switch on the front of the inverter is in

the “off position. Use the remote switch to turn the lnverter on and off.

Mehan’&& The inverter may be mounted in any posttlon, providing

adequate air circulation (at least one inch clearance) around the unit.

Do not mount the unit where there is not adequate air ckculation. This

will not harm the unit but will reduce maximum continuous power.

OPERATING:

To operate, simply plug in the appliance and turn the inverter on. The
green LED next to the switch will illuminate. The XP-600 power inverter
can run any load requinng less than 600 watts. To detenine if a
particular device can be run with the XP800, took on the identikcation
plate of the device. The power requirement specification will be listed in
watts, volt-amps or amps (watts and votamps are the same for this

purposes). The inverter is designed to supply electronic loads that draw
high amounts of current at the peak voltage of the sine wave.

This allows

proper power to run electronic loads such as computers, TVs, VCR’s or
virtually any device.

PROTECTtON FEATURES:
The invader has numemus built-in protection features whit prevent

internal damage. The followtng is a list of the most important of these
features:

4.)

Low barn - if the batte vdtage at the inverter drops
below the under vollage cut-o

x (see appropriate spec), an

audii alarm will activate and the jnverter wrll automatically shut

off. When battery voltage increases to 95% of nominal battery
voltage, the inwarter will restart.

-if the battery voltage input rises above the
over voltage cut-off, the inverter will also automaticatty shut off,
When the battery voltage input drops back to the normal voltage
range, it will turn ttsetf back on.

Over_temMlreture - i-f the invener gets too hot due to high
ambient temperature, blocked air flow or overload conditions P

will automatically shut off. However, when the inverter reaches
an acceptable temperature it wilt automatically turn beckon.

m -the invartar will source up to ifs maximum power

rating, however, if the load requires more than this. me output
voltage will be lowered to supply no more than its maximum
power.

In this way, the maximum power from the inverter is

reduced to a safe amount

PRECAUTIONS:

The lnverter Is designed to be as seie a8 possible, but It does
r;pte %1SVac -the same current coming out of the wal in your

Therefore, It demands all of the same respect and

precaklons glven any omer 115 volt electrical outlet.

Do not put anyMing intc the 9leckical outlets other than a pow*r

cord to an appliance,
Keep outtets covered when not in use or when chtldren are

amund the unit.
Qo not submerge or subject unit to moisture.

CAUTION: READ COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
