Xantrex Technology SW Communications Adapter owner manual Installation, To Install the Swca

2.0 INSTALLATION

The SWCA converts the REMOTE port on the SW series inverter/charger into a standard RS232 type communications port interface.

See Figure 2-1 for the location of the REMOTE PORT on the SW inverter/ charger.

TO INSTALL THE SWCA

1.Connect the SWCA adapter to the SW series inverter/charger remote port located on the left end of the inverter, near the AC wiring compartment.

NOTE: There are two ports located on the inverter – one is used for the stacking cable and the other is for the remote control port. Make sure you connect the SWCA to the correct port. If a SW series remote control is being used, it will have to be disconnected while the SWCA is in use.

2.Connect the phone cable to the phone jack on the gray SWCA housing and to the black serial port adapter.

3.Plug the serial port adapter into the computer serial port.

NOTE: On some computers, a DB9-to-DB25 adapter may be needed to allow connection.
