Installing the XPower 1000

Chassis Ground Screw

Xantrex recommends that you attach the cable to the chassis ground screw with a ring terminal. This procedure will ensure that the wire does not slip off the chassis ground screw.

To connect the cable to the chassis ground screw:

1.Make sure the inverter’s On/Off switch is in the Off position.

2.Remove chassis ground screw and star washer using #2 Phillips screwdriver.

3.Strip 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) of insulation from one end of each cable.

4.Attach the ring connector that will join the cable to the chassis ground screw. The connector you use must create a permanent, low- resistance connection. (See “Materials” on page 3–10.)

5.Fit the chassis ground screw through the star washer and the ring connector back into the screw opening.

6.Tighten the chassis ground screw.

Connecting the DC Cables

Consult Figure 3-1, “Configuration for Normal Loads” on page 3–2, or, Figure 3-2, “Configuration for Heavy Loads” on page 3–3, for additional details that are specific to your installation.

To connect the DC cables:

1.Make sure the inverter’s On/Off switch is in the Off position.

2.Strip 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) insulation from one end of each cable. The amount stripped off will depend on the terminals chosen.

3.Attach the connectors that will join the cables to the battery, Disconnect/Battery Selector switch, and fuse block. The connectors you use must create a permanent, low-resistance connection.

If you are using crimp connectors, use the tool recommended by the terminal manufacturer. Make sure no stray wires protrude from the terminal.

(You may find it more convenient to have the crimp connectors attached by the company that sells you the cable and/or connectors.)
