1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the XPower Inverter 150. The

XPower 150 is part of a family of advanced high-

performance power inverters from Xantrex, the leader in

high frequency inverter design.

Connected to the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle, the XPower

150 efficiently and reliably powers a wide variety of AC

loads, such as compact TVs and VCRs, laptops, camcorder

and cell phone chargers, compact fluorescent lights, and

soldering irons.

The XPower 150 uses reliable solid state power electronics

for years of safe, trouble-free operation and includes

automatic safety monitoring circuitry to protect it, and your

battery, from inadvertent overload conditions.

Read this guide before connecting or using the XPower 150,

and save it for future reference. The main topics in the guide

are:

• Safety information (page 2)

• XPower 150 features (page 5)

• Instructions for connecting the inverter (page 7)

• Operating guidelines (page 8)

• Troubleshooting information (page 12)

• Specifications (page 15)

• Warranty and service information (page 17)

2 Important Safety Information

If the XPower 150 is connected or used incorrectly,

hazardous conditions may be created. Read and save this

safety information, and pay special attention to all Warning

and Caution statements in the guide and on the inverter

itself. Warnings and Cautions are indicated by this symbol:

•Warning statements identify conditions that could

result in personal injury or loss of life.

•Caution statements identify conditions or practices that

could result in damage to the XPower 150 or other

equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Shock hazard

The XPower 150 generates the same potentially lethal AC

power as a household wall outlet. Do not insert foreign

objects in the inverter’s AC outlet or any other openings in

the inverter. Do not open the inverter. Have a qualified

individual complete any service work.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Do not expose the XPower 150 to water, rain, snow, or

spray.

WARNING: Risk of fire or explosion

The XPower 150 contains components that tend to produce

arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install

the inverter in compartments containing batteries or

flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-

protected equipment.

WARNING: Fire hazard

To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the

ventilation openings. Do not install the XPower 150 in a

zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to equipment

The XPower 150 is designed to be directly connected to

standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner

described in this guide. Do not connect it to household or

RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect it to any AC

load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to

ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery)

source.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to the XPower

150

Reverse battery polarity (negative connected to positive;

positive connected to negative) will damage the XPower

150, and it will require servicing. Damage caused by

reverse polarity is not covered by your warranty.

CAUTION: Risk of damage due to high

temperatures

Do not use the XPower 150 in temperatures over 40°C

(100°F). Overheating may result.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to rechargeable

appliances

The output of the XPower 150 is non-sinusoidal. Certain

battery chargers can be damaged if they are connected to

the XPower 150. Two particular types of equipment are

prone to this problem:

• Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights,

shavers, and night lights that can be plugged directly

into an AC receptacle to recharge.

• Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand

power tools. These chargers will have a warning label

stating that dangerous voltages are present at the

battery terminals.

Do not use the XPower 150 with the types of appliances

just described.

3 XPower 150 Inverter Features

This section describes the main features of the XPower 150.

Figure 1 shows the inverter’s AC panel.

Figure 1

AC Panel on the XPower 150 (European Outlet)

① AC Outlet An AC outlet is located on one end of the

XPower 150. It allows you to plug in a 230 volt AC load

with a power consumption of 150 watts or less.

The AC outlet on your inverter may be different from the

one shown here. For all available outlets, see Figure 2,

Figure 3, and Figure 4 on page 6.

② On/Standby Switch The two positions on the On/

Standby switch are indicated as follows: = Standby and

= On.

When the inverter is connected to a DC power source and

the switch is on, AC power is available at the AC outlet.

③④

②

③ Power Light The green PWR light is on all the time

when the On/Standby switch is on.

④ Fault Light The red light indicates that the

inverter has shut down because of low or high battery

voltage, AC overload, or excessively high temperatures.

Audible Alarm An audible alarm warns you of a high-

temperature shutdown or of an impending low battery

voltage shutdown.

AC Outlets

Depending on your geographic location, your XPower 150

will have one of the following AC outlets.
