Xantrex Technology 450 Using the DC cable with cigarette lighter plug, Reverse Polarity Damage

Using the DC cable with cigarette lighter plug

Due to the limitations of 12 V outlets in boats and vehicles, the XPower 450 should be used with the DC cable with cigarette lighter plug (if supplied) only to supply AC power to products that require 150 W (about

1.3A) or less. If your application requires more than 150 W or has a high start-up surge, see Using the DC cable clips.

REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE

A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may damage the power inverter. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered under warranty.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

1.Attach the ring-type connector marked with red to the positive (+) DC terminal on the power inverter, and attach the ring connector marked with black to the negative (–) DC terminal.

2.With star washer in place, tighten the nut on each DC terminal by hand until it is snug. Do not over-tighten.

3.Insert the plug of this cable into the 12 V outlet and switch the power inverter “ON”.

4.When the power inverter is not in use, unplug it from the 12 V outlet to prevent slight discharge of the battery.
