1Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the XPower Pocket Inverter

175. The XPower inverter 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 inverter efficiently and reliably powers a

wide variety of loads through both the AC outlet and

USB port.

The XPower inverter 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 inverter, and save it for future reference. The

main topics in the guide are:

• Safety information (page 3)

• Inverter features (page 9)

• Instructions for connecting the inverter (page 10)

• Operating guidelines (page 14)

2 Important Safety Information

Misusing or incorrectly connecting the XPower

inverter 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 unit or other equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING

Keep children away from the XPower inverter. The

inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC

power as a normal household wall outlet. Treat the

outlet with respect!

XPower_pocket_inv_175.book Page 3 Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:26 PM

WARNING

The XPower inverter housing may become

uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under

extended high power operation. During operation,

keep it away from materials that may be affected by

high temperatures.

WARNING

Do not use the XPower inverter 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 inverter 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_pocket_inv_175.book Page 4 Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:26 PM

WARNING: Shock hazard

Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the

three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug

can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is

improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong

can slip outside the inverter and become a shock

hazard.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or

removing an AC plug. Keep your fingers clear of

the AC outlet. Ensure that your fingers do not

contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is

partially inside the inverter.

XPower_pocket_inv_175.book Page 5 Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:26 PM

CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal

Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries

can be damaged if connected to the XPower

inverter. 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

inverter’s AC outlets. This will damage the inverter,

and the damage is not covered by warranty.

Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral

conductor connected to ground to the XPower

inverter.
