Turning the Inverter On and Off
The On/Off switch on the inverter’s front panel turns the control circuit in
the XPower Plus on and off.
To turn the inverter on and off from its front panel:
• Move the On/Off switch to the On position to turn the inverter on.
• Move the On/Off switch to the Off position to turn the inverter off.
When the switch is Off, the inverter draws a very low current from
the battery.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the XPower Plus, turn them
on separately after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have
to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and will help
prevent an overload shutdown.
Turning the Inverter Off Between Charges
The XPower Plus draws less than 400 mA from the battery with the
On/Off switch turned on and no load connected, but left in this state the
XPower Plus will eventually discharge the battery.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the XPower Plus off when
you are not using it.
CAUTION
The XPower Plus’s On/Off switch does not disconnect DC
battery power from the XPower Plus. You must disconnect AC
and DC power before working on any circuits connected to the
inverter.
