Trouble Appliances
t
Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be
damaged if they are connected to the inverter:
• Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals
on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools,
kitchen appliances, and other loads may be damaged.
• Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be
damaged. See “Precautions for Using Rechargeable
Appliances” on page viii for details.
• Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.
Operating Several Appliances at Once
You can run several AC appliances if the total rating of all the
appliances (in watts) does not exceed 320 W. You can run
appliances using an AC power bar.
Run time, however, will decrease accordingly with the
number of appliances being operated and the AC power being
consumed.
Operating an AC Appliance
Before operating your AC appliance, ensure that the battery
of the XPower Powerpack is fully charged. See “Recharging
with the AC Charger” on page 13 for details.
CAUTION
The output of the Powerpack’s inverter is non-sinusoidal.
Some equipment may be damaged by the inverter’s
modified sine wave output (non-sinusoidal).
Note
: If you are unsure about powering any device with the
inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device.
