XPower 1500 Basic Operation

XPower 1500 Basic Operation

Operating 115-volt AC Products

1.Ensure XPower 1500’s battery pack is fully charged. See “Recharging XPower 1500” on page 2–16for details.

2.Turn the AC Outlets switch ON. The green POWER light indicates AC power is available at the AC outlets.

3.Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and switch the product(s) ON, one at a time. XPower 1500 will operate most devices rated up to 1350 watts.

4.In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating, the AC outlets will automatically shut down and the red FAULT light will illuminate. See “Automatic Protection: Overload, Overheating, and Low Battery” on page 2–10for details.

5.Fully recharge XPower 1500’s battery pack as soon as possible after each use.

Operating 12-volt DC Accessories

1.Ensure XPower 1500’s battery pack is fully charged. See “Recharging XPower 1500” on page 2–16for details.

2.Plug the accessory into XPower 1500’s DC Power Socket, and switch the accessory on (if required). XPower 1500 will operate any 12-volt DC auto or marine accessory that draws 12 amps or less.

3.Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired directly to XPower 1500’s internal battery pack, extended operation of a 12-volt accessory may result in excessive battery discharge.

Important: Care must be taken to ensure the battery pack does not become totally discharged. See “Powering 12-volt DC Accessories” on page 2–12for details.

Note: The internal cooling fan is thermally activated whenever the AC Outlet’s switch is ON. The cooling fan helps maintain XPower 1500’s output power when products with high power requirements are run.

1500 specifications

Xantrex Technology is a well-regarded name in the field of power conversion solutions, particularly known for its advanced inverter and charger systems for various applications, including recreational vehicles, marine, and mobile power systems. Three of their popular models are the Xantrex inverter series: the 800, 1500, and 1750. Each model is designed to provide reliable, efficient power in a compact form factor, catering to different power needs.

The Xantrex 800 inverter delivers 800 watts of continuous power, making it suitable for smaller applications such as charging electronic devices, powering lights, or running small appliances. It combines a sine wave output with high-efficiency technology to ensure compatibility with sensitive electronics. One of its main features is an easy-to-use interface, typically including LED indicators, that allows users to monitor power status at a glance.

The Xantrex 1500 inverter ups the ante by offering 1500 watts of continuous power. It is particularly well-suited for larger loads, such as microwave ovens or small refrigerators. This model incorporates advanced power management technology, ensuring better load handling and energy efficiency. The built-in safety features, including over-voltage and over-temperature protection, enhance the reliability of this inverter for longer-term applications.

The Xantrex 1750 inverter is the most powerful among the three, delivering 1750 watts of continuous output. This model is ideal for users who require robust power supply capabilities, such as on extended camping trips or in off-grid scenarios. It features a user-friendly interface with digital displays that provide detailed information on power usage, battery status, and operational conditions. This inverter is designed with advanced technology to maximize efficiency and minimize power loss during operation.

All three models utilize pure sine wave technology, which is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of sensitive electronics. They also include features such as automatic shutdown in the event of excessive heating or other anomalies, ensuring protection for both the inverter and the devices connected to it. Additionally, compact and lightweight design makes these inverters easy to install and transport, making them ideal for a variety of mobile and stationary applications. Whether you require minimal power for small devices or a more robust system for larger loads, Xantrex Technology offers versatile inverter options to meet diverse needs.
