Turning the Inverter Off When Not Used

WARNING: Shock hazard
Turning the XM Series Inverter off with the on/off button does not disconnect
DC battery power from the XM Series Inverter. You must disconnect AC and DC
power before working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
You can check the battery status by pressing the Select button until the
Input Voltage LED illuminates. The battery voltage appears in the three-
digit LED display. The normal operating battery voltage range is between
11 and 15 volts.
You can check how much power the XM Series Inverter is supplying to
the connected loads by pressing the Select button until the Output Power
LED illuminates.
If you are going to operate several loads from the XM Series Inverter,
turn them on one at a time after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have
to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and will help
prevent an overload shutdown.
The XM Series Inverter, on average, draws less than 0.5 A (XM 1000) or
0.7 A (XM 1800) from the battery when the inverter is on with no load
connected. However, when it is left in this state the XM Series Inverter
will eventually discharge the battery.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the XM Series Inverter off
when you are not using it.
