Installation
Close to | Long DC cables must be very large (and expensive), so |
battery | they should be kept short (see Table |
compartment | However, the unit should NOT be installed in the battery |
| compartment due to the possible presence of explosive |
| hydrogen gas from the batteries. |
Protected | Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter or its |
from battery | wiring when filling the batteries or reading their specific |
acid and | gravity. Do not mount the unit where it will be exposed to |
gases | gases produced by the batteries. These gases are corrosive |
| and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter. |
Orientation | To meet regulatory requirements, the XS400 must be |
| mounted on a flat horizontal surface with the front panel in |
| the upright position. |
Battery Requirements
CAUTION
The XS400 Sine Wave Inverter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The XS400 Sine Wave Inverter will not operate from a 6 volt battery and will be damaged if connected to a 24 volt battery.
The batteries that you use strongly affect the performance of the XS400. It is important to connect the inverter to the correct size and type of battery.
