Drip Shield Installation - Xantrex Freedom XC 2000 Owner's Manual

Marine Installation

Drip Shield Installation

The drip shields help to protect the unit from dripping or splashing
liquids, which will cause a shock hazard when moisture comes in
contact with electrical circuits in the unit. The drip shields are
especially useful in marine installations where water from
condensation, rain, or sea may come into contact with the
Freedom XC.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Place this unit in normally dry areas only. Operating the unit under
wet conditions may expose you to a shock hazard. Installing drip
shields may not entirely protect you from this hazard. Do not
operate the unit when it is wet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage.
You may purchase the drip shield set by contacting customer
support. When ordering, mention part number 808-1050.
