Over-temperature Conditions

Important: If you are unsure about operating any device with the XM 1800, contact the manufacturer of the device.

Over-temperature Conditions

When the XM 1800 senses its internal temperature approaching its limit, the alarm beeps every two seconds and the display shows fault code E07 alternating with “OtA”.

If the over-temperature condition persists, the XM 1800 shuts down to protect itself. The alarm beeps once per second and the display shows fault code E08 alternating with “Ot”.

Routine Maintenance

XM 1800 Unit

Minimal maintenance is required to keep your XM 1800 operating properly. Periodically you should:

Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

Ensure that the DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.

Make sure the ventilation openings are not clogged.

Batteries

When possible, you should recharge your batteries whenever a low voltage shutdown occurs with the XM 1800. This gives the batteries a much longer life than recharging when the batteries have been almost completely discharged. For more information on maintaining batteries, see “Battery Tips” on page B–7.
