Step 2: Choosing A Location For The Unit - Xantrex Freedom XC PRO Series Owner's Manual

Basic Installation Procedures
DC Disconnects and Over-Current Devices
The DC circuit from the battery to the Freedom XC PRO must be
equipped with a disconnect and over-current device. This usually
consists of a circuit breaker, a "fused-disconnect", or a separate
fuse and DC disconnect. Do not confuse AC circuit breakers
with DC circuit breakers. They are not interchangeable. The
rating of the fuse or breaker must be matched to the size of cables
used in accordance with the applicable installation codes. The
breaker or disconnect and fuse should be located as close as
possible to the battery, in the positive cable. Applicable codes
may limit how far the protection can be from the battery.
Batteries
The Freedom XC PRO uses 12-volt battery banks. Every
Freedom XC PRO system is recommended to have a deep-cycle
battery or group of batteries with a total capacity of 100 Ah or more
which provides the DC current that the Freedom XC PRO
converts to AC.
