Operating the XS400 | |
| The XS400 operates in either invert mode or shore power mode. |
Invert mode | In invert mode, the XS400 powers your appliances from the battery. See |
| “Operating in Invert Mode” on page |
Shore power mode | In shore power mode, the XS400 is connected to shore power and your |
| appliances are powered from the AC input power. See “Operating in |
| Shore Power Mode” on page |
Shore power
Turning the XS400 to On or to Standby
WARNING: Shock hazard
When the On/Standby switch is in the Standby (
) position and the XS400 is connected to shore power, AC voltage will be present at the output of the inverter.
The On/Standby switch on the XS400 turns the inverter to On (
) or to Standby (
) when operating in invert mode.
If you have installed the S400 Remote Switch, you can also use the remote switch to turn the XS400 to On (
) or to Standby (
). See “Using the S400 Remote Switch” on page
The On/Standby switch on the XS400 or the S400 Remote Switch is also used to reset the inverter after a Fault condition. See “Resetting After a Fault or Shutdown” on page
Important: The XS400 operates normally without the S400 Remote
Switch installed.
Turning the XS400 to Standby When Not in Use
If you won’t be using the XS400 for an extended period of time, turn the inverter’s On/Standby switch to the Standby (
) position. Turning the switch to Standby ensures that the XS400 draws no current from the battery.
If you are disconnected from shore power with the XS400 On/Standby switch in the On (
) position and the S400 Remote Switch in the Standby (
) position, the XS400 draws very little current (about 1 mA) from the battery.
