Installing the XS400

Step 12: Testing Your Installation

WARNING: Shock hazard

The On/Standby switches on the XS400 and the S400 Remote

Switch do not disconnect DC or AC input power to the XS400.

There are two tests to be performed. The first test verifies that the XS400 operates in invert mode. The second test verifies that the XS400 operates in shore power mode.

When you are ready to test your installation and operate the XS400, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC circuit breaker to supply DC power to the XS400.

Testing in Invert Mode

To test the XS400 in invert mode:

1.Ensure that shore power is disconnected.

2.Turn the inverter’s On/Standby switch to the On ( ) position. Turn the On/Standby switch on the S400 Remote Switch to the On ( ) position. The green Inverter On indicator illuminates.

3.Plug an appliance of 400 watts or less into one of the GFCI outlets.

4.Turn the appliance on to verify that it operates.

5.If the appliance operates, your installation is successful.

6.If the red Fault light illuminates, see “Troubleshooting” on page 4–1.

Testing in Shore Power Mode

To test the XS400 in shore power mode:

Note: Shore power (pass-through) refers to the AC input power from a utility grid, generator or external AC source.

1.Connect to the shore power source.

The XS400 transfers the appliances to shore power with the On/Standby switch of the inverter or the S400 Remote Switch in

either the On ( ) or Standby ( ) position. The green AC Input light illuminates.

2.Plug an appliance of 400 watts or less into one of the GFCI outlets.

3.Turn the appliance on to verify that it operates.
