Safety First …
Misuse of xPower1500 may result in danger to the user. We urge you to pay
special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. CAUTION
statements identify conditions or practices that may result in damage to
xPower1500 or to other equipment. WARNING statements identify
conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING!
Not for use with medical or life-support equipment.
•
xPower1500 will run a wide variety of consumer electronics, power
tools and household appliances. This product is not designed for use
with medical or life-support equipment.
WARNING!
Shock hazard. Keep away from children.
•
xPower1500 generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal
household wall outlet. Treat it with the same respect that you would
any AC outlet.
•
Do not insert any foreign objects into xPower1500’s AC outlets, its DC
Power Socket, or the ventilation holes. Do not remove the covers on
the High Power DC Terminals, unless connecting cables. Do not expose
xPower1500 to water.
•
Do not, under any circumstances, connect xPower1500’s AC receptacle
to power utility AC distribution wiring.
•
Failure to follow the above safety instructions may result in personal
injury and/or damage to xPower1500.
WARNING!
Explosion hazard.
•
Do not use xPower1500 where there are flammable fumes or gases,
such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks.
Do not use xPower1500 in an enclosure containing automotive-type
lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed battery pack in
the xPower1500, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited
by sparks from electrical connections.
•
When working on electrical equipment always ensure someone is nearby
to help you in an emergency.
WARNING!
Heated surface.
•
xPower1500’s internal inverter components may become uncomfortably
warm, reaching 140°F (60°C) under extended high power operation.
Ensure at least 15 cm (6 in) of air space is maintained on all sides and on
top of xPower1500. During operation, keep away from materials that
may be affected by high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and
sleeping bags.
CAUTION:
• Do not connect any AC load whose neutral conductor is connected to
ground, to xPower1500.
• Do not expose xPower1500 to temperatures in excess of 104°F (40°C).
