Important Safety Information

Important:: Save these instructions. This guide contains important safety and operating instructions for the IP1012 AL Inverter/Charger with Ignition Protection.

General Precautions

1.Before using the inverter/charger, read all appropriate sections of this guide and any cautionary markings on the inverter and the batteries.

2.Use the grounded AC cord supplied when connecting to AC input power (qualified external AC which is when the external AC power is 100–130 Vac/54–66 Hz). Do not remove or attempt to defeat the ground connection to the qualified external AC source in any way. If an extension cord is necessary, ensure that it is at least 12 AWG and no longer than 12 feet in length.

3.If possible, plug the inverter/charger into an AC source outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) device; either a breaker or outlet.

4.Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. If the unit is damaged, return it to your authorized Xantrex dealer.

5.Do not dismantle the inverter/charger; it contains no user- serviceable parts. Attempting to service the unit yourself could cause electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.

6.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the inverter/charger from the remote switch, then disconnect both AC (shorepower) and DC (battery) power from the unit before working on any circuits connected to it. Turning off the remote On/Off switch alone does not reduce this risk.
