WARNING: Shock hazard
Before making an opening in a wall, bulkhead or panel, ensure
there is no wiring or other obstruction within the wall.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Ensure both the S400 Remote Switch and the XS400 are in
Standby ( ) mode before installing.
Installing the S400 Remote Switch is optional. The XS400 operates
normally without the remote switch.
The S400 Remote Switch is designed to be flush mounted on a wall,
bulkhead or panel. A 25 foot (7.5 meter) telephone cable is supplied with
the remote switch.
If you want to extend the cable, use a high quality, 4-wire telephone
extension cable with 6-position, 4-contact connectors. The maximum
recommended cable length is 50 feet (15 meters).
For your convenience, a full scale mounting template is provided. See
"S400 Remote Switch Mounting Template (Scale approximately 1:1)" on
page 2–27.
Note: The S400 Remote Switch connects to a jack at the back of the
inverter. See "System Diagram" on page 2–2.
To install the remote switch:
1. Choose a location that is dry, free from corrosive or explosive fumes,
and otherwise appropriate for installing an electronic device.
2. Using the template, pilot-drill the mounting holes. Cut an opening
about 2 inches x 1.2 inches (50 mm x 30 mm) and 1.4 inches (35 mm)
deep.
3. Route the telephone cable inside the wall and through the opening to
the inverter.
