About This Guide

Purpose

The purpose of this Owner’s Guide is to provide explanations and

procedures for installing, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting the

IP1012 AL Inverter/Charger with Ignition Protection.

Scope

The Guide provides safety guidelines, detailed planning and setup

information, procedures for installing the inverter, as well as information

about operating and troubleshooting the unit. It does not provide details

about particular brands of batteries. You need to consult individual

battery manufacturers for this information.

Audience

The Guide is intended for anyone who needs to install and operate the

IP1012 AL Inverter/Charger with Ignition Protection. Installers should be

certified technicians or electricians.

Organization

This Guide is organized into four chapters and an appendix.

Chapter 1, “Introduction” describes the main performance and protection

features of the IP1012 AL Inverter/Charger with Ignition Protection.

Chapter 2, “Operation” explains how to calculate the size of the loads you

can run from the IP1012 AL. It also provides guidelines to help you run

loads safely and efficiently.

Chapter 3, “Maintenance” provides procedures for checking the terminal

connections on the inverter/charger, disconnecting the IP1012 AL from

the batteries, changing the overcurrent protection fuse and removing or

connecting the AC input and output cables.

Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” provides information to help you identify

common problems which may occur. Read this chapter before calling

your authorized Xantrex dealer. If you cannot solve the problem, record

the details as suggested on “Information About Your System” on

page WA–4, then call your dealer.

Appendix A contains the inverter, charger, and transfer specifications for

the IP1012 AL. The specifications show rating curves for output surge,

current versus temperature, and pass-through current. Appendix A also

illustrates the three-stage charging profile used by the unit.

Conventions Used

The following conventions are used in this guide.

WARNING

Warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or

loss of life

CAUTION

Cautions identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the unit or

other equipment.

Important:

These notes describe things which are important for you to know,

but not as serious as a caution or warning.

Important Safety Information

General Precautions

1. Before using the inverter/charger, read all appropriate sections of this

guide and any cautionary markings on the inverter and the batteries.

2. Use the grounded AC cord supplied when connecting to AC input

power (qualified external AC which is when the external AC power is

100–130 Vac/54–66 Hz). Do not remove or attempt to defeat the

ground connection to the qualified external AC source in any way. If

an extension cord is necessary, ensure that it is at least 12 AWG and

no longer than 12 feet in length.

3. If possible, plug the inverter/charger into an AC source outlet that is

protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) device;

either a breaker or outlet.

4. Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow,

been dropped, or otherwise damaged. If the unit is damaged, return it

to your authorized Xantrex dealer.

5. Do not dismantle the inverter/charger; it contains no user- serviceable

parts. Attempting to service the unit yourself could cause electrical

shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power

is disconnected.

6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the inverter/charger

from the remote switch, then disconnect both AC (shorepower) and

DC (battery) power from the unit before working on any circuits

connected to it. Turning off the remote On/Off switch alone does not

reduce this risk.

Important::

Save these instructions. This guide contains important

safety and operating instructions for the IP1012 AL Inverter/Charger with

Ignition Protection.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the

manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the vehicle engine or a

battery.

4. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on a battery. It

could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and

cause an explosion.

5. Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches when working

with lead-acid batteries. These batteries produce a short-circuit

current high enough to weld a ring, other metal jewellery or tools,

thus causing severe burns.

6. If you need to disconnect a battery, always remove the negative

terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so

you don’t cause an arc.

7. Before making the final connection to a battery, be sure the polarity is

correct; negative-to-negative, and positive-to-positive.

8. When you are making the final connection to a battery, you will see a

spark and hear a loud pop. This spark and popping sound is normal.

Precautions for Using Rechargeable Devices

Most battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer

that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage output.

If the label on the AC adapter or charger states that the adapter or charger

produces a low voltage AC or DC output (less than 30 volts), the inverter/

charger can power this charger or adapter safely.

Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if

connected to the inverter/charger. Do not use the following loads and

appliances:

• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night

lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

• Some chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These

types of chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous

voltages are present at the battery terminals.
