1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Xantrex PRO Inverter (XM 1800
or XM 1000). The XM 1800 has been designed to give you quality power,
ease of use, and reliability.
Please take a few moments to read this chapter to familiarize yourself
with the main performance features and protection features of the XM
1800.
Quality Power
The XM 1800 is a quality inverter designed for recreational vehicle (RV)
electrical systems that have a battery charger or generator already
installed.
• The XM 1800 provides up to 1800 watts (XM 1800) or up to 1000
watts (XM 1000) of continuous modified sine wave power from a
battery bank. It is designed to handle loads such as 1000 watt (XM
1800) or 600 watt (XM 1000) microwaves, TVs, VCRs, and midsized
power tools.
• The XM 1800’s high surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-
start loads, including large TVs and small refrigerators.
• The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter
power and incoming AC power (shore power) to ensure power is
always available.
• A built-in 15 A supplementary circuit breaker protects the XM 1800
from overload conditions to the GFCI receptacles.
• The XM 1800’s low standby battery demand means you don’t have to
worry about excessive drain on your battery if you leave the inverter on
for a few days. When the XM 1800 is on but no power is being
supplied to a load, the inverter draws, on average, less than 0.5 A (XM
1000) or less than 0.7 A (XM 1800) from the battery.
• The cooling fan in the XM 1800 is both load activated and thermally
activated. The fan turns off automatically after the inverter has cooled
or the load has decreased.
