The Xantrex PRO Series XM 1000, MPN 806-1010, is a 1000-watt inverter that converts 12-volt DC battery power to 120-volt AC modified sine wave power for TVs, small appliances and onboard electronics in RVs, trucks, coaches and boats. It is a standalone inverter for systems that already have a battery charger or generator to recharge the batteries. The XM 1000 does not charge batteries. It is intended to supply AC loads from the battery bank when shore power and the generator are not running.

The built-in transfer switch detects when generator or shore power is present and switches automatically, so connected circuits are fed from the external AC source when it is available and from the inverter when it is not. The store listing states up to 25 amps of pass-through for hardwired loads and a built-in 15-amp circuit breaker protecting the GFCI receptacle loads. AC can be connected through the hardwire terminal strip or used at the included GFCI receptacle. The detachable digital remote shows inverter output, AC source and battery status and can be mounted away from the inverter. Conformal-coated circuit boards help the inverter cope with humid operating conditions, and the unit can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Protection includes battery over- and under-voltage, over-temperature shutdown, overload, short-circuit and ground-fault protection.

Because the output is modified sine wave, check the AC loads you plan to run. Some motor-driven, variable-speed, medical or sensitive electronic equipment may run warm, run noisily or fail to operate on modified sine wave power. Consider a true sine wave inverter if those loads matter. Xantrex lists ETL certification to CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 and FCC Class B compliance. Its UL 458 Marine Supplement listing applies when the inverter is installed with drip shield part 808-1050, which is not included in this listing. Size the DC cables, fusing and AC wiring according to the XM 1000 owner's guide.

Match the Inverter to the Battery System and Loads

The XM 1000 supplies 120 V AC from a 12 V battery bank and transfers to shore or generator power when either is present. Check these six points before you buy.

Modified Sine Wave XM 1000 or a True Sine Wave Inverter?

The XM 1000 produces 1000 watts of modified sine wave AC and adds features suited to permanent installations: a built-in transfer switch, a hardwire terminal strip, a GFCI receptacle and a detachable remote. Modified sine wave output runs many resistive and general-purpose loads, such as lights, small heating appliances and many TVs and chargers. It is a practical choice when your loads tolerate that waveform and you want automatic switching between inverter and shore or generator power.

If you plan to run variable-speed tools, microwaves, some motor loads or sensitive electronics, compare a true sine wave inverter first. The Xantrex PROwatt SW1000 provides 900 W continuous true sine wave output from 12 V. Its AC is delivered through dual GFCI receptacles, and an optional inline transfer relay is available. Compare continuous output, waveform and how each unit connects to your AC circuits before choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the continuous output of the Xantrex XM 1000 (806-1010)?
The XM 1000 is rated at 1000 watts continuous. The store listing gives a 2000-watt surge rating for short-duration starting loads.
Is the XM 1000 a pure sine wave inverter?
No. It produces modified sine wave AC output. Check that your appliances tolerate modified sine wave power, or consider a true sine wave model.
What battery voltage does the XM 1000 need?
It is a 12-volt DC inverter with a 120-volt AC output.
Does the XM 1000 charge batteries?
No. It is a standalone inverter. Xantrex positions it for systems that already have a battery charger or generator to recharge the batteries.
Does it have a transfer switch?
Yes. A built-in transfer switch changes over automatically when generator or shore power becomes available or is lost. The store listing states up to 25 amps of pass-through for hardwired loads.
Can I hardwire the AC output?
Yes. AC can be connected through the hardwire terminal strip, or loads can be plugged into the included GFCI receptacle.
Is the XM 1000 approved for marine installations?
Xantrex lists UL 458 with the Marine Supplement when the inverter is used with drip shield part 808-1050. The drip shield is not included in this listing.
Is a remote display included?
Yes. The XM 1000 has a detachable digital remote that shows inverter output, AC source and battery status, and it can be mounted away from the inverter.
