Xantrex AC to DC Converter
Preparing the Mounting Location for the XADC and Panel
To prepare the XADC and panel mounting location:
1.Cut a mounting hole (12 in. × 12 1/8 in. – 305 mm × 307 mm) for the connected XADC and panel, or
follow the instructions in “Preparing the Mounting Location for the XADC” on page 13 for the XADC and cut a mounting hole (12 in. × 8 in. – 305 mm × 203 mm) for the panel, or
use an existing hole from a previous converter installation.
2.Place the XADC and panel into the mounting hole and hold them against the mounting surface.
3.Mark the positions of the mounting screws, and then remove the XADC and panel from the mounting hole.
Connection Types for AC and DC
Both the AC and DC busses use a
To perform connections with the screw-in type lug:
1.Ensure the screw is loosened.
2.Slide the cable into the hole behind the screw.
3.Tighten the screw (see Table 1 on page 24 for torque values).
Connecting the DC to the Panel
See “Connection Types for AC and DC” on page 18 for information on the connections used on the busses.
When following the procedure, see Table 2 on page 24 for wire lengths and battery DC fuse ratings and Table 1 on page 24 for torque values.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Ensure that the DC battery is physically disconnected, or that the DC disconnect or breaker is open before attempting any installation.
To connect the DC loads:
See Figure 14 for additional information.
1.Install a UL/CSA approved strain relief on the incoming negative
Important: Multiple cables can be placed into a strain relief. Check the strain relief manufacturer’s datasheet for maximum number of cables allowed.
2.Route the incoming negative
