| WARNING: Personal Injury |
| The XW Inverter/Charger weighs approximately 120 pounds (54 kg). To prevent personal injury, |

| installation. |
Location |
|
| |
| The XW Inverter/Charger is certified for indoor (heated or unheated) installations only. |
Close to battery | Locate the inverter as close to the batteries as possible in order to keep the battery cable |
bank | length short. The maximum recommended battery cable length is 10 feet (3 m). |
| WARNING: Explosion and Corrosion Hazard |
| Do not locate the inverter directly above the batteries or in the same compartment as vented |
| batteries. |
|
|
| Locate any electronic equipment susceptible to radio frequency and electromagnetic |
| interference as far away from the inverter as possible. |
Fire safety | Do not locate the inverter near readily flammable materials such as cloth, paper, straw, or |
| plastic sheeting. Flammable materials should be kept a minimum distance of 24 inches |
| (60 cm) from the top surface and 12 inches (30 cm) from either side surface and the front |
| of the XW Inverter/Charger. |
Knockout Preparation
Remove your choice of knockouts from the chassis to facilitate conduit installation for wire runs. Ensure no debris from this procedure remains inside the inverter enclosure.
Important: Do not drill, cut, or punch holes into the XW power distribution
Panel. Use only the knockouts provided for conduit entry.
