Pre-Installation

Clearance Requirements

Provide a minimum clearance of 6 inches (15 cm)—12 inches is preferred—around the top and 6 inches (15 cm) at the bottom of the inverter for ventilation. There must be at least three feet of clearance in front of the inverter. Ensure that the vents are not obstructed with foreign objects and that the minimum clearances are met.

Mounting

The XW Power System is designed to be mounted on a vertical surface. The supporting surface must be strong enough to support a minimum of 500 pounds (227 kg). To facilitate installation, a wall mounting plate (Xantrex p/n 210-0462-01-01) is provided for each XW Inverter/Charger and XW Power Distribution Panel. The mounting plate and hardware on the XW Inverter/Charger and XW Power Distribution Panel are designed to meet standards for structural and seismic stability. When properly installed, the system also meets Section 59 of UL 1741 for Static Loads.
