APPENDIX

Storage Checklist

If the SW Series Inverter/Charger is used in a vehicular application such as a motor coach, truck, or boat, certain steps must be taken prior to seasonal storage. These steps are especially important for maintaining batteries as well as ensuring the automatic generator function, if installed, is disabled.

Preparation for Storage

Interior Storage

Check that all batteries are fully charged.

Press the SW Inverter/Charger’s green, GEN MENU pushbutton to access the SET GENERATOR menu. Select OFF to disable the auto generator start feature.

Configure the vehicle’s electrical system for the correct shore power service settings.

Connect the vehicle’s shore power cord to a properly rated receptacle (confirm it is live).

Press the SW Inverter/Charger’s red, ON/OFF MENU pushbutton to access the SET INV menu. Select CHG to put the unit into the charger only mode.

Switch OFF all unnecessary AC and DC loads.

WARNING: DO NOT STORE THE VEHICLE INDOORS WITH THE AUTO GEN START FEATURE ENABLED. GENERATORS EXHAUST DANGEROUS FUMES WHEN RUNNING.

Exterior Storage

For exterior storage, follow the same steps as above. If shore power is not available, enable the Auto- Gen Start feature and ensure there is enough fuel available to run the generator for charging the batteries. The generator will automatically start and stop, depending on the batteries’ state-of-charge.

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.
