Choosing a Location
The XPower Powerpack should be operated only in a location
that meets these 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 0 and 40ºC
(32 and 104ºF)—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 XPower Powerpack where it will be
exposed to battery gases. These gases are very corrosive,
and prolonged exposure will damage the XPower
Powerpack.
