Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual
Stacking Inverters
Precautions
•Only stack the same models of the RV inverter. For example, stack an RV2012 only with an RV2012.
•Use only a Xantrex stacker cable, available in RV Series External Shunt Kit (part #2813). It is not a standard telephone cable.
•Connect AC neutrals together close to the inverters. Keep input and output neutrals isolated.
•Connect the inverter’s battery negative terminals together according to this manual.
•Make all AC and DC connections and verify that they are made in accordance with this manual. Make sure that all connections are tight (especially the DC side). Connect the stacker cable to each inverter’s stacking port.
•Each inverter must be turned on individually before AC power will be available.
