AC Wiring

15.Secure the strain-relief clamp.

16.See “Connecting AC Output to an Existing AC Circuit” on page 3–17.

17.Reinstall the GFCI to the unit.

Alternatively, if you do not reinstall the GFCI, make sure that you cap the exposed wires and install a blanking plate to cover the space vacated by the GFCI.

Connecting AC Output to an Existing AC Circuit

WARNING: Shock hazard

Maintain correct wiring polarity.

Do not connect an AC source (such as a generator or utility power) to the AC wiring output of the XM 1800.

The XM 1000 will not operate if its output is connected to AC voltage from another source, and potentially hazardous or damaging conditions may occur. These conditions can occur even if the inverter is off.

Do not connect the XM 1800 to an AC branch circuit that has high- power consumption loads.

The XM 1800 will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners, stoves, and other electrical appliances that consume more than 1000 watts (XM 1000) or 1800 watts (XM 1800).

A Xantrex-tested and approved GFCI must be connected to the XM 1800 AC output. Other types may fail to operate properly when connected to the XM 1800. Although you can reuse the factory-installed GFCI, Xantrex has also tested and approved the following GFCIs for use with the XM 1800:

Hubbell

GFR5252

For more information about GFCIs, see the application note “Using GFCI Receptacles on Xantrex Inverters and Inverter/Chargers” in the Document Library at www.xantrex.com.
