Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions as prescribed by safety standards for chargers used in RV and marine applications. Read and keep this Owner’s Guide for future reference.

1.Before installing or using the Xantrex XC3012, XC5012, XC1524 or XC2524 Battery Charger (XC Series), read all instructions and cautionary markings on the XC Series, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this guide.

2.Do not expose the XC Series to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the XC Series in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

3.Use only attachments recommended or sold by Xantrex. Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

4.The XC Series is designed to be permanently connected to the AC and DC electrical systems. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure compliance with the local and national electrical codes relevant to your installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the installation of the XC Series complies with all relevant electrical codes.

5.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the XC Series with damaged or substandard wiring.

6.Do not disassemble the XC Series. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempting to service the XC Series yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

NOTE: Disassembling the XC Series will void your warranty.

7.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the XC Series before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or before working on any circuits connected to the XC Series. Turning the XC Series off using the remote display will not reduce this risk.
