Routine Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly.
Periodically you should:
• Clean the exterior of the inverter with a damp cloth to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt.
• Ensure that the DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.
• Make sure ventilation openings on the AC and DC panels of the
inverter are not obstructed by blankets and similar items and/or
clogged with accumulated dust and dirt.
Recharging Your Batteries
When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50%
discharged or earlier. This gives the batteries a much longer life cycle than
recharging when they are more deeply discharged.
The XPower Inverter 5000 has a battery low voltage shutdown at
10.5Vdc. With moderate to heavy loads, this will protect against over-
discharging the battery. If the inverter is running only light loads it is
advisable to recharge before the inverter low voltage shutdown point is
reached.
WARNING: Shock and energy hazard
Disconnect DC power before performing any routine maintenance work or
before working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
