1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Xantrex 500 Inverter. The

500 Inverter is part of a family of advanced, high-

performance power inverters from Xantrex, the leader in the

field of high-frequency inverter design.

Connected directly to a 12 volt battery, the 500 Inverter

efficiently and reliably powers a wide variety of household

AC products, such as TVs and VCRs, laptop computers,

camcorder and cell phone chargers, compact fluorescent

lights, soldering irons, and small power tools.

The 500 Inverter uses reliable solid state power electronics

for years of safe, trouble-free operation and includes

automatic safety monitoring circuitry to protect it from

inadvertent overload conditions.

Read this guide before connecting or using the 500 Inverter,

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

are:

• Safety information (page 2)

• 500 Inverter features (page 5)

• Instructions for connecting the inverter (page 9)

• Operating guidelines (page 16)

• Troubleshooting information (page 20)

• Warranty and service information (page 23)

• Specifications (page 27)

2 Important Safety Information

If the 500 Inverter is connected or used incorrectly,

hazardous conditions may be created. Read and save this

safety information, and pay special attention to all Caution

and Warning 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 500 Inverter or other

equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

Warning! Shock hazard.

The 500 Inverter 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 500 Inverter to water, rain,

snow, or spray.

Warning! Risk of fire or explosion.

The 500 Inverter 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

500 Inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.

Overheating may result.

Warning! Shock and fire hazard.

During installation route all cable/wiring away

from sharp edges and hot surfaces of the engine

compartment or vehicle.

Caution! Risk of damage to equipment.

The 500 Inverter 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 500 Inverter.

Reverse battery polarity (negative connected to

positive; positive connected to negative) will

damage the 500 Inverter, and it will require

servicing. Damage caused by reverse polarity is

not covered by your warranty.

Caution! Risk of damage to rechargeable

appliances.

The output of the 500 Inverter is non-sinusoidal.

Certain battery chargers can be damaged if they are

connected to the 500 Inverter. Two particular types

of equipment are prone to this problem:

• Small battery-operated appliances such as

rechargeable 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 have a

warning label stating that dangerous voltages

are present at the charger battery terminals.

Do not use the 500 Inverter with the type of

appliances just described.

Caution! Risk of damage due to high

temperatures.

Do not use the 500 Inverter in temperatures over

40° C (105° F). Overheating may result.

3 Xantrex 500 Inverter Features

This section describes the main features of the 500 Inverter.

Figure 1 shows the inverter’s AC panel.

Figure 1 AC Panel on the 500 Inverter (European AC Outlet)

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

inverter. It allows you to plug in a 230 volt AC product with

a power consumption of 500 watts or less when the inverter

is connected to a 12 volt battery.

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 7.

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

switch are: = Standby and = On.
