6 Inverter Operation
1.
When properly connected to a 12 V outlet, the
light will glow blue, indicating the inverter is
ready.
2.
Plug the product(s) you want to operate into the
AC outlet or USB port and switch them on (if
necessary).
Operating Guidelines
•
As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall.
When the XPower inverter senses that the voltage
at its DC input has dropped to 10.5 V, the inverter
automatically shuts down and the light glows red,
indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from
being damaged. Turn off any devices that the
XPower inverter is powering.
Important:
Vehicle batteries are designed to provide
brief periods of very high current needed for engine
starting. They are not intended for constant deep discharge.
Regularly operating the XPower inverter from a vehicle
battery until low-voltage shutdown occurs will shorten the
life of the battery.
