2 Important Safety Information If the 150 Inverter is connected or used incorrectly, hazardous conditions may be created. Read and save this safety information, and pay special attention to all Warning and Caution statements in the guide and on the inverter itself. Warnings and Cautions are indicated by this symbol: • Warning statements identify conditions that could result in personal injury or loss of life. • Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage

Caution! Risk of damage to equipment. The 150 Inverter is designed to be directly connected to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described in this guide. Do not connect it to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect it to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source. Caution! Risk of damage to the 150 Inverter. Reverse battery polarity (negative connected to positive;

Caution! Risk of damage to rechargeable appliances. The output of the 150 Inverter is non-sinusoidal. Certain battery chargers can be damaged if they are connected to the 150 Inverter. Two particular types of equipment are prone to this problem: • Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, shavers, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge. • Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These chargers will have a

3 Xantrex 150 Inverter Features This section describes the main features of the 150 Inverter. Figure 1 shows the inverter’s AC panel. Figure 1 AC Panel on the 150 Inverter (European Outlet) AC Outlet An AC outlet is located on one end of the 150 Inverter. It allows you to plug in a 230 volt AC load with a power consumption of 150 watts or less. The AC outlet on your inverter may be different from the one shown here. For all available outlets, see Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4 on

Power Light The green PWR light is on all the time when the On/Standby switch is on. Fault Light The red light indicates that the inverter has shut down because of low or high battery voltage, AC overload, or excessively high temperatures. Audible Alarm An audible alarm warns you of a high- temperature shutdown or of an impending low battery voltage shutdown. AC Outlets Depending on your geographic location, your 150 Inverter will have one of the following AC outlets. Figure 2 Europea

4 Connecting the 150 Inverter Choosing a Location For best performance, choose a location that is: • Dry Do not expose the inverter to water drip or spray. • Cool Operate the inverter in ambient temperatures between 0° C and 40° C (32° F and 100° F). Keep it away from heating vents and direct sunlight. • Well ventilated For proper cooling, allow at least 5 cm (2 in.) of clearance around the inverter. • Clean and free of dust and dirt Choose a location that is free of any debris that could ge

5 Operating the 150 Inverter Operating Statuses This section describes normal operation as well as problems that could occur when you use the inverter. If you have a problem, see “Troubleshooting” on page 12. • Normal Operation When you connect the inverter to your vehicle’s 12 volt outlet and turn on the On/Standby switch, the green PWR light comes on and AC power is available at the outlet. The inverter shuts down automatically in response to low battery voltage, high battery voltage, AC

• AC Overload Shutdown If you connect an AC load that is rated higher than 150 watts or 0.65 amps or that draws excessive surge power, the 150 Inverter shuts down. The PWR light stays on, and the light comes on to indicate that the inverter is overloaded. Note: High startup surge requirements The power, or “wattage” rating of an AC load is the average amount of power it uses. When they are first turned on, many AC loads consume more power than their continuous power rating. TVs, monitor

Interference With Electronic Equipment Most AC loads operate with the 150 Inverter as they would with household AC power with the following exceptions. Buzzing Sound Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” have inadequate internal power supply filtering and buzz slightly when powered by the 150 Inverter. The best solution is to have an audio system with a good quality filter. Television Interference The 150 Inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signals. If TV

6 Battery Operating Time The operating time of the 150 Inverter depends on the charge level of the battery, the battery capacity, and the amount of power drawn by the particular AC load being used. With a typical vehicle battery and a 150 watt AC load (like a small TV), you can expect two to three hours of operating time. To preserve the battery: • Do not allow your vehicle battery to become deeply discharged. A vehicle battery (starting battery) is not designed to be deeply discharged, a
