Misuse of XPower 1500 may result in danger to the user. We urge you to pay special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. CAUTION statements identify conditions or practices that may result in damage to XPower 1500 or to other equipment. WARNING statements identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life.

This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep this Owner’s Guide for future reference.

Before installing and using the XPower 1500, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the XPower 1500 and all appropriate sections of this guide.

WARNING: Limitations on use

The XPower 1500 is not intended for use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

WARNING: Shock or fire hazard

• XPower 1500 generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet. Treat it with the same respect that you would any AC outlet.

Do not insert any foreign objects into XPower 1500’s AC outlets, its DC Power Socket, or the ventilation holes. Do not remove the covers on the High Power DC Terminals, unless connecting cables. Do not expose xPower1500 to water.

Do not, under any circumstances, connect the XPower 1500’s AC receptacle to power utility AC distribution wiring.

Failure to follow the above safety instructions may result in personal injury and/or damage to xPower1500.

WARNING: Explosion hazard

• Do not use XPower 1500 where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use XPower 1500 in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed battery pack in the XPower 1500, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.

When working on electrical equipment always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an emergency.
