This manual covers the basic operation, use, and maintenance of the Xantrex XM 1000 and XM 1800 inverters.
This Owner’s Guide provides detailed instructions for installing, operating, and maintaining the Xantrex PRO Inverter (XM 1000 and XM 1800). It includes safety guidelines, setup procedures, and troubleshooting tips. The guide assumes users are certified technicians or electricians due to electrical code compliance requirements.
Safety is emphasized throughout, with warnings about explosive gases from lead-acid batteries, fire hazards from sparks, and risks of electrical shock. Users are instructed to follow battery manufacturer guidelines and avoid using incompatible rechargeable appliances.
Do not install the inverter near batteries or flammable materials. Ensure good ventilation, avoid sparks or flames, remove metal items, and wear eye and clothing protection. If battery acid contacts skin or eyes, wash immediately with soap and water or flood eyes with cold water for at least twenty minutes and seek medical attention.
No, do not use the inverter with small battery-operated appliances like flashlights or razors that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge. Some chargers for power hand tools may also be incompatible.
Do not attempt to disassemble or service the inverter yourself. See the Warranty section for instructions on obtaining service. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
