Before installing the Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings located in this manual.
Important: Obtain the appropriate permits, if necessary, prior to starting this
installation. Installations must meet all local codes and standards. Installations
of this equipment must only be performed by skilled personnel such as qualified
electricians and certified renewable energy system installers.
WARNING: Personal Injury
The Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger weighs approximately 54 kg. To prevent
personal injury, always use proper lifting techniques and have someone available
to assist with lifting during installation.
The Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger is certified for indoor (heated or unheated)
installations only.
Locate the inverter as close as possible to the batteries to keep the battery cable
length short. The maximum recommended battery cable length is 3 meters.
WARNING: Explosion and Corrosion Hazard
Do not locate the inverter directly above the batteries or in the same
compartment as vented batteries.
Locate any electronic equipment susceptible to radio frequency and
electromagnetic interference as far away from the inverter as possible.
Do not locate the inverter near readily flammable materials such as cloth, paper,
straw, or plastic sheeting. Flammable materials should be kept a minimum
distance of 600 mm from the top surface and 300 mm from either side surface
and the front of the Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger.
Remove your choice of knockouts from the chassis to facilitate conduit
installation for wire runs. Make sure no debris from this procedure remains inside
the inverter enclosure.
Important: Do not drill, cut, or punch holes into the Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger.
Use only the knockouts provided for conduit entry.
