Use and Care Manual

For example, the XP100i watt model has a maximum continuous

rating of 100 watts. Although this model has the capacity to briefly

provide more than its continuous power (that is, excess current),

it is designed to operate equipment and appliances with start up

load requirements of 100 watts or less.

Consequently, if the start up load rating of your equipment or

appliance is slightly higher than the maximum continuous rating

of the inverter, the inverter will attempt to start loads above the

continuous rating for several seconds.

The inverter is designed to shut down automatically in the event

of a power overload. Testing appliances and equipment with start

up load ratings comparable to your inverter wattage rating will

not damage the inverter. However, make sure the appliance you

are testing is compatible with modified sine wave inverters. See

IMPORTANT INFORMATION section for more information.

If all connections have been properly made, turn the inverter rocker

switch ON (l), OFF (O) and ON (l) again in quick succession. If

this procedure is unsuccessful, it is likely that the inverter does not

have the required start up capacity to operate the equipment or

appliance in question.

NOTE:

• Most heat generating appliances require start up loads in excess

of 1000 watts and this inverter will not operate such appliances

as coffee makers, irons, hair dryers or heaters.

• The inverter’s USB Port does not support data communications.
