4 Operation

Chapter 4 explains how to operate the XPower 1000 efficiently and effectively. Specifically, this chapter:

•Gives procedures for operating the inverter from the front panel

•Discusses operating limits and inverter loads

•Discusses battery charging frequency

•Provides information about routine maintenance

Turning the Inverter On and Off

The On/Off switch on the inverter’s front panel turns the control circuit in the XPower 1000 on and off.

To turn the inverter on and off from its front panel:

•Move the On/Off switch to the On position to turn the inverter on.

•Move the On/Off switch to the Off position to turn the inverter off.

When the switch is Off, the inverter draws a very low current from the battery.

CAUTION

The XPower 1000’s On/Off switch does not disconnect DC battery power from the XPower 1000. You must disconnect AC and DC power before working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
