Operating DC Appliances
Overload Protection
If the 12 Vdc appliance draws more than 12 amps (or has
a short-circuit defect), the internal circuit breaker of the
XPower Powerpack shuts off the power to the 12 Vdc
appliance. If this occurs, unplug the 12 Vdc appliance,
and the internal circuit breaker automatically resets after
a few seconds.
Low-Battery Alarm
The DC power socket is internally wired directly to the
internal battery and does not have its own alarm.
Extended operation of a 12 Vdc appliance could result in
excessive battery discharge. To prevent this, turn on the
AC Power Switch when running DC loads. This will
activate the alarm used for AC loads. Reread the
CAUTION for “Equipment damage” on page 3–14.
