PROBLEM

Unit will not come on (no LED’s are on) and the

Control Panel Display is blank or off

INDICATION

DC voltage on the inverter’s DC terminals is incorrect.

DC voltage on the inverter’s DC terminals is correct

SOLUTION

Check the battery voltage, fuses or breakers and DC cable connections to the inverter

Have unit serviced

Unit comes on, but goes off quickly

(several attempts made)

Excessive load on output, unit is in over-temperature protection (needs to cool down), incorrect battery voltage.

See ERROR CAUSES section

No AC power output

INVERTING LED is on, with no ERROR LED.

Look at Control Panel display under ‘Inverter volts’ and check AC voltage on inverter AC terminal block.

AC1/AC2 IN GOOD LED is flashing

(with no AC connected to the input).

Correct AC voltage on Control Panel display but no AC voltage on inverter AC terminal block.

Check for open circuit breaker on the inverter. If circuit breaker on the inverter is not open (popped), have the inverter serviced.

Correct AC voltage on Control Panel display and on inverter AC terminal block.

Check for open AC output breakers or fuses and bad output wire connections

AC voltage on Control Panel display or inverter AC terminal block is incorrect: have unit serviced

Have unit serviced

No AC power output

INVERT LED is flashing.

Low AC power output or

Low surge power

INVERT LED is on

(AC inductive loads are not running at full speed).

AC load too small for Search mode circuit to detect

Insufficient DC current being provided to the inverter to operate the AC loads

Reduce search watts setting, increase load above search watts setting, or defeat search mode by selecting ON.

Check the battery voltage, fuses or breakers and cable connections.

Ensure the battery bank is sufficient (check for low DC voltage while running the load).

Ensure the cable length and size is correct (see owner's manual for correct cable). Tie the battery cables together to reduce inductance.

SW Series specifications

Xantrex Technology has established itself as a leader in innovative power solutions, and its SW Series inverters epitomizes this commitment to quality and efficiency. Designed for both standalone and grid-tied applications, the SW Series offers versatile power management for a range of residential and commercial needs.

At the heart of the SW Series is its advanced pure sine wave output, ensuring clean and reliable electricity suitable for sensitive electronics. This feature makes it an excellent choice for applications such as solar energy systems, where it provides high-quality power for a variety of devices, from household appliances to complex machinery.

One of the key characteristics of the SW Series is its modular design, which allows for easy installation and scalability. This modularity enables users to expand their power system as their energy needs grow, making it an ideal choice for both small and large installations. The inverters come equipped with a user-friendly interface, providing clear information on system performance, battery status, and more, ensuring that users can effectively monitor and manage their energy consumption.

The SW Series inverters also incorporate cutting-edge technology, such as the patented Power Factor Correction (PFC) feature, which optimizes energy efficiency by reducing harmonic distortion. This translates into less wasted electricity and lower energy costs, making it an environmentally friendly option for users looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Another notable feature of the SW Series is its ability to operate in extreme conditions. Built with robust components and advanced thermal management systems, these inverters can withstand a wide range of temperatures and environmental challenges, ensuring reliable performance in various settings. This durability makes them suitable for off-grid applications, including remote cabins, RVs, and boats.

Furthermore, the SW Series supports a variety of battery types, including lithium-ion, AGM, and gel batteries, offering flexibility for users to choose the best energy storage solution for their needs. The sophisticated battery management system ensures optimal charging and discharging, prolonging the lifespan of the batteries and enhancing the overall efficiency of the power system.

In summary, Xantrex Technology's SW Series inverters stand out for their pure sine wave output, modular design, energy efficiency features, and robust performance in challenging conditions. With their versatility and advanced technology, they cater to the evolving needs of today’s power consumers, making them a compelling choice in the modern energy landscape.
