XPower 1500 Basic Operation
Operating 115-volt AC Products
1. Ensure XPower 1500’s battery pack is fully charged. See “Recharging
XPower 1500” on page 2–16 for details.
2. Turn the AC Outlets switch ON. The green POWER light indicates
AC power is available at the AC outlets.
3. Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and
switch the product(s) ON, one at a time. XPower 1500 will operate
most devices rated up to 1350 watts.
4. In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating, the
AC outlets will automatically shut down and the red FAULT light will
illuminate. See “Automatic Protection: Overload, Overheating, and
Low Battery” on page 2–10 for details.
5. Fully recharge XPower 1500’s battery pack as soon as possible after
each use.
Operating 12-volt DC Accessories
1. Ensure XPower 1500’s battery pack is fully charged. See “Recharging
XPower 1500” on page 2–16 for details.
2. Plug the accessory into XPower 1500’s DC Power Socket, and switch
the accessory on (if required). XPower 1500 will operate any 12-volt
DC auto or marine accessory that draws 12 amps or less.
3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired directly to XPower
1500’s internal battery pack, extended operation of a 12-volt
accessory may result in excessive battery discharge.
Important:
Care must be taken to ensure the battery pack does not become
totally discharged. See “Powering 12-volt DC Accessories” on page 2–12 for
details.
Note: The internal cooling fan is thermally activated whenever
the AC Outlet’s switch is ON. The cooling fan helps maintain
XPower 1500’s output power when products with high power
requirements are run.
