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.
