2 Important Safety Information

Misusing or incorrectly connecting the Digital Inverter 200 W, 400 W,

800 W may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for

users. Read the following safety instructions and pay special attention to

all Caution and Warning statements in the guide.

Warnings identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss

of life.

Cautions identify conditions or practices that may damage the unit or

other equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Shock hazard

Keep children away from the Digital Inverter inverter. The inverter

generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household

wall outlet. Treat the outlet with respect!

WARNING: Heated surface

The Digital Inverter housing may become uncomfortably warm,

reaching 140° F (60° C) under extended high power operation. Ensure

that at least 2 inches (5 cm) of air surround the inverter. During

operation, keep it away from materials that may be affected by high

temperatures.

XP_Digital_200-400-800.book Page 3 Wednesday, October 26, 2005 2:51 PM

WARNING: Explosion hazard

Do not use the Digital Inverter in the presence of flammable fumes or

gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane

tanks. Do not use the Digital Inverter in an enclosure containing

automotive-type, lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike sealed

batteries, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks

from electrical connections.

WARNING: Crash hazard

Vehicle drivers should not configure or troubleshoot the Digital Inverter

while they are driving the vehicle.

CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal

Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if

connected to the Digital Inverter. Do not use the inverter with the

following appliances:

• Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable flashlights,

some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged directly

into an AC receptacle to recharge.

• Battery chargers used in hand power tools. These chargers display a

warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the

charger battery terminals.

Additional Safety Guidelines

• Do not insert foreign objects in the Digital Inverter outlets or

ventilation openings.

• Never connect the inverter to power utility AC distribution wiring.

• Do not use the Digital Inverter in temperatures over 100° F (40° C).

• Do not expose the Digital Inverter to water, rain, snow, or spray.

Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause personal injury and/

or damage to the Digital Inverter. It may also void your product

warranty.

CAUTION

Do not connect live AC power to the Digital Inverter’s AC outlets. The

inverter will be damaged even if it is turned off.

Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral conductor connected to

ground to the Digital Inverter.
