5 Operating the XPower Inverter
This section explains how to operate the XPower 175 Plus, XPower 400 Plus and XPower 700 Plus most efficiently.
Operating Conditions and Guidelines
This section describes normal operation as well as conditions that trigger an alarm or automatically shut down the XPower.
Normal Operation When you connect the inverter to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter or directly to the 12 volt outlet and turn on the On/Off switch, the green POWER light illuminates and AC power is available at the outlets. You can now plug in your AC products and switch them on one at a time.
Low Battery Alarm and Shutdown As the battery discharges, its voltage decreases. When the XPower senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 10.7 volts, it sounds an alarm. If you ignore the alarm, and the DC input voltage drops below 10.0 volts, the inverter shuts down all loads to save the battery from further discharge. The red FAULT light comes on.
