Operation
4–6 975-0263-01-01
Inverter Loads
The XM Series Inverter will operate most AC loads within its power
rating of 1000 watts (XM 1000) or 1800 watts (XM 1800). However,
some appliances and equipment may be difficult to operate, and other
appliances may actually be damaged if you try to operate them with the
XM Series Inverter. Please read “High Surge Loads” and “Trouble
Loads” carefully.
Overload Conditions
When the XM Series Inverter senses that the output load is above its
output limit (or senses a short circuit at the output), it will shut down. The
alarm beeps once a second, and the display shows fault code E05
alternating with “OL”.
High Surge Loads
Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps, and other motor-operated
equipment require high surge currents to start. The XM Series Inverter
may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated
current draw is within the inverter’s limits.
Trouble Loads
Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be damaged if
they are connected to the XM Series Inverter:
• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen
appliances, and other loads may be damaged.
• Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged. See
“Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances” on page viii for
details.
• Metal halide arc (HMI) lights can be damaged.
CAUTION
Some equipment may be damaged by the XM Series Inverter’s modified sine
wave output, which is different from pure sine wave utility-supplied electricity.
