2.0 Safety First Before You Use
xPower600
Misuse of xPower600 may result in danger to the user. We urge you to pay special
attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. CAUTION statements identify
conditions or practices that may result in damage to xPower600 or to other equipment.
WARNING statements identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of
life.
WARNING! Shock hazard. Keep away from children.
· xPower600 generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal
household wall outlet. Treat it with the same respect that you would any AC
outlet.
· Do not insert any objects into xPower600’s AC outlets, its DC Power Socket,
or the ventilation holes. Do not remove the covers on the High Power DC
Terminals, unless connecting cables. Do not expose xPower600 to water.
· Do not, under any circumstances, connect xPower600’s AC receptacle to
power utility AC distribution wiring.
· Failure to follow the above safety instructions may result in personal injury
and/or damage to xPower600.
WARNING! Explosion hazard.
· Do not use xPower600 where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as
in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use
xPower600 in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead acid batteries.
These batteries, unlike the sealed battery in the xPower600, vent explosive
hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.
· When working on electrical equipment always ensure someone is nearby to
help you in an emergency.
WARNING! Heated surface.
· xPower600’s internal inverter components may become uncomfortably warm,
reaching 140°F (60°C) under extended high power operation. Ensure at least
15 cm (6 in) of air space is maintained on all sides and on top of xPower600.
During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high
temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
CAUTION:
• Do not connect any AC load, whose neutral conductor is connected to ground,
to xPower600.
• Do not expose xPower600 to temperatures in excess of 100°F (40°C).
