15. Secure the strain-relief clamp.
16. See “Connecting AC Output to an Existing AC Circuit” on page 3–17.
17. Reinstall the GFCI to the unit.
Alternatively, if you do not reinstall the GFCI, make sure that you cap
the exposed wires and install a blanking plate to cover the space vacated
by the GFCI.
Connecting AC Output to an Existing AC Circuit
Do not connect the XM 1800 to an AC branch circuit that has high-
power consumption loads.
The XM 1800 will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners, stoves, and
other electrical appliances that consume more than 1000 watts (XM 1000) or
1800 watts (XM 1800).
A Xantrex-tested and approved GFCI must be connected to the XM 1800
AC output. Other types may fail to operate properly when connected to the
XM 1800. Although you can reuse the factory-installed GFCI, Xantrex has
also tested and approved the following GFCIs for use with the XM 1800:
For more information about GFCIs, see the application note “Using GFCI
Receptacles on Xantrex Inverters and Inverter/Chargers” in the Document
Library at www.xantrex.com.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Maintain correct wiring polarity.
Do not connect an AC source (such as a generator or utility power) to the
AC wiring output of the XM 1800.
The XM 1000 will not operate if its output is connected to AC voltage from
another source, and potentially hazardous or damaging conditions may occur.
These conditions can occur even if the inverter is off.
