Quality Power

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Xantrex PRO XM Series Inverter
(XM 1800 or XM 1000). The XM Series Inverter has been designed to
give you quality power, ease of use, and reliability.
Please take a few moments to read this chapter to familiarize yourself
with the main performance features and protection features of the XM
Series Inverter.
The XM Series Inverter is a quality inverter designed for recreational
vehicle (RV) electrical systems that have a battery charger or generator
already installed.
• The XM Series Inverter provides up to 1800 watts (XM 1800) or up
to 1000 watts (XM 1000) of continuous modified sine wave power
from a battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as 1000 watt
(XM 1800) or 600 watt (XM 1000) microwaves, TVs, VCRs, and
midsized power tools.
• The XM Series Inverter's high surge capability lets you handle many
hard-to-start loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.
• The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter
power and incoming AC power (shore power) to ensure power is
always available.
• A built-in 15 A supplementary circuit breaker protects the XM Series
Inverter from overload conditions to the GFCI receptacles.
• The XM Series Inverter's low standby battery demand means you don't
have to worry about excessive drain on your battery if you leave the
inverter on for a few days. When the XM Series Inverter is on but no
power is being supplied to a load, the inverter draws, on average, less
than 0.5 A (XM 1000) or less than 0.7 A (XM 1800) from the battery.
• The cooling fan in the XM Series Inverter is both load activated and
thermally activated. The fan turns off automatically after the inverter
has cooled or the load has decreased.
