4. As the battery becomes nearly discharged, or “empty”, a low voltage
warning will sound. This will give you time to shut down a computer,
for example. If this warning is ignored, the inverter will switch off
automatically a few minutes later to prevent battery damage. See
Section 5.3 for details.
5. Fully recharge xPower600’s battery as soon as possible after each
use. See Section 8.0.
5.3 Automatic Protection: Overload, Overheating
and Low Battery
xPower600 has built-in protection against output overload and from
overheating. If an AC product rated higher than 600 Watts (or which
draws excessive surge power at start up) is connected, or if the inverter
exceeds a safe temperature, it will automatically shutdown. The green
POWER light will go off and the red FAULT light will switch on. To reset,
unplug the product and turn the AC Outlets Switch off for 5 seconds,
then turn it back on. Normal operation should resume. If not, turn the AC
Outlets Switch off again and allow xPower600 to cool for several minutes.
While AC power is off, press the Battery Status Switch to make sure the
charge level is sufficient.
If the battery is allowed to discharge excessively, damage may occur. To
prevent this, xPower600 has a built-in audible warning that alerts you
when the battery is nearly discharged and that recharging is needed. If
this warning is ignored, xPower600 will automatically switch off the AC
Outlets and the red FAULT light will illuminate when the battery reaches
“empty”. xPower600’s internal fan will continue running and the FAULT
light will remain on until the AC Outlet’s Switch is turned off. Promptly
recharge xPower600 to help maintain the internal battery. See Section
8.0.
