Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Limitations on Use

The Xantrex AC to DC Converter is not intended for use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

WARNING

This section contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep these

Installation Instructions for future reference.

1.Before installing and using the XADC, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the XADC, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this guide.

2.Do not expose the XADC to rain, snow, spray, or water. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the XADC in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

3.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the XADC with damaged or substandard wiring.

4.Do not operate the XADC if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the XADC is damaged, see the Warranty section.

5.Do not disassemble the XADC. It contains no user-serviceable parts and attempting to service the XADC will void your warranty. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the XADC yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire as the XADC remains charged after all power is disconnected.

6.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the XADC before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the XADC.

7.Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged: gases or fluids from the battery will corrode and damage the charger. Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit
