Important Safety Information
General Precautions
1. Before using the inverter/charger, read all appropriate sections of this
guide and any cautionary markings on the inverter and the batteries.
2. Use the grounded AC cord supplied when connecting to AC input
power (qualified external AC which is when the external AC power is
100–130 Vac/54–66 Hz). Do not remove or attempt to defeat the
ground connection to the qualified external AC source in any way. If
an extension cord is necessary, ensure that it is at least 12 AWG and
no longer than 12 feet in length.
3. If possible, plug the inverter/charger into an AC source outlet that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) device;
either a breaker or outlet.
4. Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged. If the unit is damaged, return it
to your authorized Xantrex dealer.
5. Do not dismantle the inverter/charger; it contains no user- serviceable
parts. Attempting to service the unit yourself could cause electrical
shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power
is disconnected.
6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the inverter/charger
from the remote switch, then disconnect both AC (shorepower) and
DC (battery) power from the unit before working on any circuits
connected to it. Turning off the remote On/Off switch alone does not
reduce this risk.
