Xantrex Technology TM500A manual Surface Mounting, Installation

2.0 INSTALLATION

Surface Mounting

•Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions for the screw holes and an area where the cable(s) will feed through.

•Drill out the four screws holes (if required) and wire access opening. Use a 3/16" bit if the supplied plastic anchors are used. If placing the screws directly into the backing material, use a 3/32" bit. The wire access hole should be at least 1/2" diameter to allow the connector to pass through.

•Mount the bracket using the screws (and anchors if necessary) supplied. See Figure 2-2. Do not overtighten the screws.

•Install the adaptor onto the bracket by pressing it tightly into place.

•Connect the communications cable (from the shunt) to the “J1 TO SHUNT ONLY” jack on the TM500A. See Figure 2-3.

•If the TM500A is to function as an ON/OFF remote control for the inverter, connect the remote control cable (not supplied) to the “J2 INVERTER ONLY” jack. This connector only functions if the inverter contains a REMOTE jack that allows operation with an RC4 or RC8 remote control.

CAUTION: Do not reverse these cables or the TM500A circuit board will be permanently damaged.

•Install the meter onto the adaptor by pressing it tightly into place.
