Connecting the XPower 400 Plus and XPower 700
Plus for Loads Over 150 Watts
You must connect the XPower 400 Plus or XPower 700 Plus directly to
a 12-volt battery if you are going to operate loads greater than 150 watts
continuously. When the inverter is connected this way, you can operate
loads of any size up to 320 watts continuously with a XPower 400 Plus
and 560 watts continuously with a XPower 700 Plus.
WARNING
Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an electrical shock
hazard. To prevent irritation and burns, wear protective eyewear and
clothing when you install the inverter or work with the batteries. Take
special care to ensure that metal tools and personal metal objects like
rings and bracelets do not contact the battery terminals.
Follow these steps to make a direct battery connection:
1. Place the inverter on a flat surface.
2. Make sure the On/Off switch on the front panel is off.
