Choosing a Location

The XPower Powerpack should be operated only in locations

that meet the following requirements.

WARNING: Fire or explosion

The XPower Powerpack contains components that tend to produce
arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not operate the
XPower Powerpack in compartments containing batteries or
flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition-protected
equipment.

Dry

Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or
splash on the XPower Powerpack.

Cool

Ambient air temperature should be between 32
and 104ºF (0 and 40ºC) — the cooler the better
within this range.

Ventilated

Leave at least 2" (5 cm) clearance around the
XPower Powerpack for air flow. Ensure that
the ventilation openings are not obstructed.

Safe

Do not operate the unit in the same
compartment as batteries or in any
compartment capable of storing flammable
liquids like gasoline.

Protected
from battery
gases

Do not operate the unit where it will be
exposed to battery gases. These gases are very
corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage
the XPower Powerpack.
