Using the light
The XPower Powerpack has a built-in incandescent light
which will operate for about 30 hours before the unit needs to
be recharged.
The XPower Powerpack 400 Plus has a two-position
OFF/ON
switch (located beneath the light itself). The XPower
Powerpack 400R has a three-position
ON/OFF/Pulse switch. In
the “Pulse” position, the light will flash on and off. The
XPower Powerpack 400R also has a red “emergency” light
cover that fits over the incandescent light for additional
signalling capability.
The light can be adjusted up and down by pushing against the
top or bottom of the rim around the lens.
Operating AC Appliances
Understanding AC Appliances
AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in
watts) they consume. XPower Powerpack can power most
appliances within its continuous power rating (320 W, 2.7 A).
Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate
from the XPower Powerpack. They may have high surge
requirements or should not be run from the XPower
Powerpack. See “High Surge Appliances” on page 3–5 and
“Trouble Appliances” on page 3–6.
Important: If you keep the XPower Powerpack in storage, the
battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the
battery every three months to keep the XPower Powerpack
operational.
Note
: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically
reduces to a maintenance charge mode, and the XPower
Powerpack may be left permanently connected to the AC Charger.
