1 Introduction

About the Inverter

Connected to the 12 V outlet in your car, truck, boat, RV, or directly

from a dedicated 12 V battery, the XPower Inverter 400 efficiently and

reliably powers a wide variety of household AC products, such as

portable stereos, laptop computers, TVs, VCRs, and other similar

products.

The inverter uses reliable solid state power electronics for years of safe,

trouble-free operation and includes the following automatic features to

ensure safe and trouble-free operation:

• Low battery alarm

• Low voltage shutdown

• High voltage shutdown

• Overload shutdown

• Overheating shutdown

• Short-circuit protection

About this Guide

To get the best performance from your inverter, we recommend that you

read this guide before connecting and using the inverter, and then save it

for future reference.

This guide contains:

• Important safety information (page 3)

• Instructions for connecting the inverter (page 11)

• Operating guidelines (page 16)

• Troubleshooting guidelines (page 22)

• Specifications (page 28)

2 Important Safety Information

Misusing or incorrectly connecting the XPower Inverter 400 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 inverter. The inverter generates the same

lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet. Treat the outlet with

respect!

WARNING: Heated surface

The inverter housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 60°C

(140°F) under extended high power operation. Ensure that at least 2" (5

cm) of air surround the inverter. During operation, keep it away from

materials that may be affected by high temperatures.

WARNING: Explosion hazard

Do not use the 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 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 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 inverter. Do not use the inverter with the following

equipment:

• 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 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 inverter outlets or ventilation

openings.

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

• Do not use the inverter in temperatures over 104°F (40°C).

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

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

or damage to the inverter. It may also void your product warranty.

CAUTION

Do not connect live AC power to the 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 inverter.
