XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Introduction 1.0 Thank you for purchasing the finest sine-wave inverter in the power conversion industry. Exeltech's journey to excellence includes the first affordable sine-wave inverter, first modular inverter system, first N+1 redundant inverter system, and the cleanest sine-wave output in the industry. Exeltech strives to manufacture products of the highe st pos sible qua lity and is ded icated to 100 % customer satisfaction.
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL specify these products is in Watts (W), which is power the inverter can actually deliver. If Exeltech inverters were specified in VA, Our 1100 Watt inverter could be rated at 1375 VA at .8 power factor, 1570 VA at .7 pf, or an incredible 2200 VA at .5 pf. It is confusing to specify a product in VA because the power factor must also be specified. Exeltech's XP-Series inverters can output their full rated . power continuously up to 30o C (86o F).
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Standard Features 2.0 DC INPUTS: A two-pole connector is provided under the rear cover. The rear cover must also be removed to access this connector. Use Appendix "A" to choose the appropriate gauge wire for your specific model. A 2 pole female connector is provided. "REMOTE" CONNECTION: is on the six-pole, plug-in connector, . located under the rear cover. AC OUTPUTS: has one NEMA-15 outlet (standard wall receptacle), located on the front panel.
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL immediately restart. Since high over voltages tend to have very fast edges, the inverter must shut down quickly to protect itself. This kind of fault usually occurs if the battery is suddenly disconnected from the system and the battery charger continues to supply current. When battery voltage falls to within 2% to 4% of low line voltage, the LOW BATT / THERM buzzer will sound.
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Installation 3.0 CAUTION: It is essential to read and understand all Warnings, Cautions, and Notes before any connections are made to the Unit or System. If further assistance is needed call (817)595-4969 and . ask for Customer Service. WARNING: The inverter is designed to operate from a battery. Performance cannot be guaranteed, and damage can result when a . charger or power supply is used without a battery in the circuit.
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CAUTION: Polarity of leads is critical to avoid damage to the unit or system. Check batteries and battery cables for correct polarity and . voltage. CAUTION: Observe all National and Local Electric Codes when . connecting AC Power Connections. . INSTALLATION (Location) Mounting location is critical to performance and life span of the inverter. Heat and moisture are the two worst enemies of any electronic device.
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL the charger and inverter are off. . 2. Make DC input connections to the inverter as illustrated in Appendix "B". Attach DC wires to the 2 pole female connector. 3. (Optional) Using 12-18 AWG wire, make Remote On/Off connection from the rear panel terminal labeled "REMOTE" to one pole of a small toggle switch. Then from the other pole of toggle . switch, make a connection to battery negative (-). 4. Make sure the toggle switch is off. .
XP250 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Operation 4.0 . TURN ON INVERTER: XP-250: Turn inverter on using toggle switch on front panel, or the "REMOTE" switch if installed. LED next to the switch will illuminate, . indicating the inverter is operational. Note: If using "REMOTE" switch, the front panel switch must be off. (If either switch is "on", the inverter will turn on. Both switches . must be off for the inverter to turn off.) TURN ON APPLIANCE/LOAD: . 1.
