Xantrex Technology 450 owner manual Inverter operation

Inverter operation

1.When properly connected to a 12 V outlet or battery, turning the inverter switch “ON” will illuminate the green “POWER” light, and deliver AC power to the outlet(s).

2.Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the GFCI outlet(s) and switch them on, one at a time.

3.As the battery is used, voltage begins to fall. When the XPower 450 senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 11 V, an audible alarm sounds. This alarm warning allows time for computers or other sensitive devices to be shut down.

4.If the audible alarm is ignored, the XPower 450 will automatically shut down when the battery voltage drops to 10.5 V. This auto- shutdown prevents the battery from being damaged. After auto- shutdown, the red “FAULT” light illuminates and the alarm will sound.

IMPORTANT: Boat or vehicle starting batteries are designed to provide brief periods of very high current needed for engine starting, and are not intended for constant deep discharge. Regularly operating the XPower 450 from a boat battery until the low voltage alarm sounds will shorten the life of the battery. Consider connecting the power inverter to a separate deep-cycle battery if you will be frequently running electrical products for extended periods of time.

5.If an AC product rated higher than 360 W (or which draws excessive surge power) is connected, the XPower 450 will shut down. The red “FAULT” light will turn on.

6.If the XPower 450 exceeds a safe operating temperature due to insufficient ventilation or a high-temperature environment, it will automatically shut down. The red “FAULT” light will turn on and the audio warning will sound.
