1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an XPower Plus Inverter. The XPower 175

Plus, XPower 400 Plus, and XPower 700 Plus are part of a family of

ultra compact and highly portable power inverters from Xantrex

Technology Inc., the leader in high-frequency inverter design.

About the XPower Plus Inverters

Connected to the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle, boat, RV, or directly

from a dedicated 12 volt battery (400 and 700 watt only), the XPower

efficiently and reliably powers a wide variety of household AC products

such as portable stereos, laptop computers, TVs, VCRs, and other

similar products.

The XPower employs reliable solid state power electronics for years of

safe, trouble-free operation, and includes the following automatic

features to ensure safe and trouble-free operation:

2 Important Safety Information

Misusing or incorrectly connecting the XPower may damage the

equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following

safety instructions and pay special attention to all Caution and

Warning statements in the guide.

Warnings identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss

of life.

Cautions identify conditions or practices that may damage the XPower

or other equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Shock Hazard

Keep children away from the XPower inverter. The inverter generates

the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall

outlet.

Xpower_175_etc.book Page 3 Thursday, October 27, 2005 2:54 PM

WARNING: Heated Surface

The XPower housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching

140° F (60° C) under extended high power operation. Ensure that at

least 2 inches (5 cm) of air surround the inverter. During operation,

keep it away from materials that may be affected by high

temperatures.

WARNING: Explosion Hazard.

Do not use the XPower in the presence of flammable fumes or gases,

such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks.

Do not use the XPower in an enclosure containing automotive-type,

lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent

explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from

electrical connections.

Xpower_175_etc.book Page 4 Thursday, October 27, 2005 2:54 PM

CAUTION

Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if

connected to the XPower. Do not use the inverter with the following

appliances:

• Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable flashlights,

some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged

directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

• Battery chargers used in hand power tools. These chargers display

a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the

charger battery terminals.

CAUTION

Do not connect live AC power to the XPower’s AC outlets. The

inverter will be damaged even if it is switched OFF.

Do not connect any AC load, which has its neutral conductor

connected to ground, to the XPower.

Xpower_175_etc.book Page 5 Thursday, October 27, 2005 2:54 PM

Additional Safety Guidelines

• Do not insert foreign objects in the XPower outlets.

• Never connect the inverter to power utility AC distribution wiring.

• Do not use the XPower in temperatures over 104° F (40° C).

• Do not expose the XPower to water, rain, snow, or spray.

Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause personal injury and/

or damage to the XPower. It may also void your product warranty.
