Xantrex Technology 1500 manual Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances, WARNING Heat hazard

Safety

WARNING: Heat hazard

XPower 1500’s internal inverter components may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 140°F (60°C) under extended high power operation. Ensure at least

15 cm (6 in) of air space is maintained on all sides and on top of XPower 1500. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.

CAUTION

• Do not connect any AC load whose neutral conductor is connected to ground, to XPower 1500.

•Do not expose XPower 1500 to temperatures in excess of 104°F (40°C).

Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the XPower 1500.

CAUTION: Equipment damage

Do not use the following with the XPower 1500:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

•Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Important: if you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the XPower 1500, contact the equipment manufacturer to find out if there are high voltages at the battery terminals or if the appliance incorporates the use of transformers.
