Making AC Connections

To install the Battery Temperature Sensor:
1. Insert the Battery Temperature Sensor plug into the BTS port. See Figure 2-9
and Figure 2-11.
2. Route the cable to the battery enclosure and connect the ring terminal on the
BTS directly to a battery terminal (recommended), or use the adhesive
backing on the sensor back to attach the sensor to any side of the battery to
be monitored.
If using the adhesive backing, install the BTS on the side of the battery below
the electrolyte level. It is best to place the sensor between batteries and
place the batteries in an insulated box to reduce the influence of the ambient
temperature outside the battery enclosure.
Note:
If other Xantrex Xanbus-connected components supply a BTS or are
BTS-enabled, it is not necessary to install all of them at once. Only one BTS
needs to be installed.
However, if multiple battery banks are being used, multiple sensors can be
installed. In this case, the system uses the highest temperature from all the
input as its operational parameter.
This section describes how to make AC connections between the Xantrex XW
Inverter/Charger, the main utility panel, and the inverter load sub-panel. All wiring
must be provided by the installer.
CAUTION: Damage to the Inverter
The inverter's AC output must never be wired to the utility or generator output.
This will cause severe damage to the inverter which is not covered under the
warranty.

Do not use an RCD -equipped AC source to power the Xantrex XW Inverter/
Charger grid or generator inputs. The AC input filters on the Xantrex XW Inverter/
Charger may cause nuisance tripping of ground fault-protected outputs.
