Turning the Inverter On and Off
The On/Off switch on the inverter’s front panel turns the control circuit in
the
XPower Plus
on and off.
To turn the inverter on and off from its front panel:
•
Move the On/Off switch to the On position to turn the inverter on.
•
Move the On/Off switch to the Off position to turn the inverter off.
When the switch is Off, the inverter draws a very low current from
the battery.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the
XPower Plus
, turn them
on separately after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have
to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and will help
prevent an overload shutdown.
Turning the Inverter Off Between Charges
The
XPower Plus
draws less than 400 mA from the battery with the On/
Off switch turned on and no load connected, but left in this state the
XPower Plus
will eventually discharge the battery.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the
XPower Plus
off when
you are not using it.
Input Voltage Display
The
INPUT VOLTAGE DISPLAY
indicates the DC voltage at the input
terminals of the
XPower Plus
. At low input currents, this voltage is very
close to the battery voltage. At high input currents, this voltage is lower
than the battery voltage because of the voltage drop across the cable and
DC connections.
CAUTION
The
XPower Plus
’s On/Off switch does not disconnect DC battery power
from the
XPower Plus
. You must disconnect AC and DC power before
working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
