CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND COMPONENTS

AC SIDE

Figure 4 shows the components located on the AC side of the inverter. The removable AC Access Panels cover and protect the Internal Components and Indicators, such as the AC Terminal Block, BTS Connection, LED status indicators (for the AC1 and Gen Control relays) and the Aux and Gen Control relay terminals. Refer to the INSTALLATION section beginning on page 15, for all wiring connections.

REMOTE PORT

The SW Series Inverter/Charger can be controlled remotely from the unit by plugging in a Sine wave Remote Control (SWRC) or Sine wave Communications Adapter (SWCA).

The SWRC remote control is a full function, programmable remote control with backlit LCD which duplicates the functions of the integral Control Panel.

The SWCA serial communications interface adapter allows for remote setup, adjustment, monitoring and troubleshooting of SW Series Inverter/Chargers from a personal computer and allows modem access monitoring over long distances.

See the APPENDIX, OPTIONS section, starting on page 128, for a complete description of the SWRC Remote Control and SWCA Serial Communications Adapter.

STACKING PORT

The stacking port allows multiple SW Series Inverter/Chargers to be used in the same system. The inverters can be used in a “SERIES” configuration to operate 240 Vac loads and to connect to 120/240 Vac power systems. A series stacking interface cable (SWI) is required to connect the series stacking ports of the inverters. This port is also used to connect two units in a “PARALLEL” configuration. The parallel stacking interface cable (SWI/PAR) allows two inverters to be connected to provide twice the continuous and surge capability at the same AC voltage. See the USING MULTIPLE INVERTERS section on page 95 for more information.

INVERTER/CHARGER CIRCUIT BREAKER

This circuit breaker protects the unit’s internal wiring while the unit is inverting or charging. It is not used for the pass-through current. This is not a branch-circuit rated breaker, separate output breakers are required. Press the breaker to reset (to reset on 48-volt units, move the breaker handle to the ON position).

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.
